I think this is a cool angle to pursue! But your model of the world definitely has a lot of assumptions here.

> RSI within a top-down, concentrated power structure creates an unstable equilibrium and will instantly devolve into an epic power struggle. If you control the company/computers/military with the one most powerful thing, you control everything else

With a more stable government you can definitely imagine a situation where someone like Anthropic would work closely with the government in a Manhattan style project to solve alignment as soon as RSI is close. This admin definitely has a more "might makes right" view of the world and I'm not sure they would go that direction.
