Assuming eventual foom, non-foomy things that don't set up anti-foom security in time only make the foom problem worse, so this abdication of direct responsibility frame doesn't help.

If foom is inevitable, but it won't happen when humans are still running anything, then what anti-foom security measures can we actually put in place that would help our future descendants handle foom? And does it look any different than ordinary prosaic alignment research?
