My argument is that it's impossible to do that. You cannot indefinitely control something smarter than you. So it's not a question of more money or more time or any other resource.

AI Unverifiable
Source URL (youtube.com/watch?v=3I60uZEqXr0) returned 403 Forbidden. Web search confirms Yampolskiy has consistently stated that indefinite control of superintelligence is impossible, with quotes like "I don't think it's possible to indefinitely control superintelligence. By definition, it's smarter than you" and "It's another way of saying we can't control superintelligence indefinitely. It's impossible." These are core themes of his book "AI: Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable." The specific YouTube link could not be verified. Vote "against" (AI alignment is solvable) is correct - Yampolskiy argues alignment/control of superintelligence is fundamentally impossible. Year 2026 is correct. Source URL could not be directly fetched due to site blocking.
