Hypothetically, would you rather have: 1. AI is not delayed, but the strongest AI, 10 years ahead of everyone else, is in the hands of a single very powerful multinational inter-governmental agency 2. All AI delayed by 10 years

Vitalik I’m confused. Why cast this 3 times? Bug? Anyways, definitely 10 years delayed; for reasons that seem obvious

Ah I see. My bad. I think it doesn’t truly matter whose hands all the power of AI is in. If it’s a monopoly, it’s most likely bad for everyone but the monopolist and those who support their interests

right but imagine a world where the tech to make nukes and nuclear power plants is the same, and nuclear power plants give 100x more electricity. That's the kind of world that we might be in regarding AI

it scares me, but I think I am only capable of aligning with the current timeline tbh, hence all 1s (though I have posted mild pro-regulation content in the past as it relates specifically to biological use)
