• Your first two bullet points are very accurate; it would indeed be relevant to continue by addressing these points further.
• Finally, regarding your last bullet point, I agree. Currently, we do not know if it is possible to develop such safeguards, and even if it were, it would require time and further research. I fully agree that this should be made more explicit!!

"Instead of building in a shutdown button, build in a shutdown timer."

-> Isn't that a form of corrigibility with an added constraint? I'm not sure what would prevent you from convincing humans that it's a bad thing to respect the timer, for example. Is it because we'll formally verify we avoid deception instance? It's not clear to me but maybe I've misunderstood.
