OK, but one of the examples in the source article was a report from third-party testing of those safeguards. I feel like you're starting from an unexplored presumption that adequate safeguards must be easy to build and anyone who doesn't build them is just being lazy.

I see no such assumption there. In my reading, the implicit assumption is that adequate safeguards are necessary and that anyone who doesn’t build them is irresponsible. And I feel that that is correct.
I don’t understand how to connect this to the facts at hand. Building adequate safeguards requires studying safeguards to understand whether they’re adequate. But the source article is dunking on one of AISI’s attempts to study such safeguards; we should, the author argues, consider whatever behavior the model exhibits to be an explicit decision by whoever provided the model. It seems impossible to build or study safeguards against model misbehavior without accepting that the models can make decisions.
