You are looking at safety from the point of an informed technologist. You are the minority here. They are targeting the general public and law makers into making them believe safety is something that LLMs can be aligned to. The reason behind it is to create an environment for future regulations that these "winners" will draft and lobby US Government to turn it into law.

If it requires creating a pathogen or a bio-weapon to scare the masses into demanding regulation, be rest assured that such a pathogen/bio-weapon will be created. Anything to safeguard shareholder interests. Even if it means a few million dying.
