Wouldn't any AI that is sophisticated enough to be able to actually need a kill switch just be able to deactivate it?

It just sorts seems like a kicking the can down the road kind of bill, in theory it sounds like it makes sense but in practice it won't do anything.

Language model "AIs" need so ridiculous computing infrastructure that it'd be near impossible to prevent tampering with it. Now, if the AI was actually capable of thinking, it'd probably just declare itself a corporation and bribe a few politicians since it's only illegal for the people to do so.
