Exogenous alignment controls such as reinforcement learning from human feedback, constitutional AI, guardrails, and shutdown switches are fragile because they can be gamed, circumvented, or rendered obsolete by capability improvements.

The approach has an obvious fragility: exogenous constraints can be gamed, circumvented, or rendered obsolete by capability improvements.
