i’m in the all-gas-no-brakes camp but will do my best to steelman: 1. we’re on the cusp of agi 2. agi is like nuclear: extinction-level threat, global superpower-level leverage, and potential civilization expanding resource 3. we dont really know how it works 4. thus, we should proceed with *extreme* caution

If points 1-3 have any possible validity (most admit they do), then I just don't understand the position of "no brakes" Does it come from believing that, politically speaking, our only actual options are "only brakes" or "no brakes"? Brakes are simply a tool that give us more optionality to pursue our own benefit

1. there are many “brakes” (constraints) already in place https://warpcast.com/nonlinear.eth/0xc4528a04 2. pessimistic of state capacity and top-down, command and control approaches 3. optimistic of markets and bottom-up emergence of order 4. potential upside worth the downside risk

Agree with every one of these points! I think e/acc concerns me bc they present themselves as enemies of all constraints. If we're saying "brakes may be useful, but not needed yet, especially from government" – I am in total agreement.
