The problem with your analogy is that these babies are HUMANS and not some distinctly different cyber-species. The basis of "human alignment" is that we all require basically the same conditions and environment in order to live, we all feel pain and pleasure, we all need food - that's what produces any amount of human cooperation. What's being feverishly developed is the seed of a different species that doesn't share those restrictions.
