Hmm, I think we did indeed miscommunicate. 

I am saying that the AI may decide to not resist shutdown in order to not raise suspicion that it is not misaligned. 

If it did resist shutdown this would make it less likely for an AI takeover in-general to succeed, and the AI is coordinating with other AIs on one succeeding. I.e. if you use "is the AI resisting" as a proxy for "is this AI goal-directly misaligned" then the AI will try pretty hard to not look like its resisting, in my models (and think humans would act similarly).

As I said above, I do expect you will get some AIs to resist shutdown (indeed you can get current AIs to resist shutdown already). I expect that behavior to disappear as AIs get better at modeling humans, and resisting will be costlier to their overall goals.
