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 corporation 2. All AI delayed by 10 years

1 corporations are subject to board oversight, market forces, regulatory constraints, brain drain, insider threat and corporate espionage. the strength of their lead would likely diffuse over time. nonlinear progress across all human pursuits is worth the risk

Depends on the company. OpenAI? 1, send it. That Uighur face-scanning one? 2 Whitepill on 1 is that good ideas spread and invention & creative destruction are relentless. 10 years ago it might've looked like Intel had an insurmountable lead and look at them now.

10 years is negligible on an evolutionary timescale, so it would be worth the wait IMHO (low individual/high social time preference). Realistically, however, I acknowledge that 1) would not guarantee the corporation’s moat lasts forever (good!), & 2) would not prevent future consolidation & corporate capture (bad!).

2. AI 10 years ahead of all others is presumably much more powerful. Isn’t Crypto in large part about decentralising power? I’m surprised so many people chose 1 given the nature of FC and it’s user base. I wonder how the answers would change if you swapped “powerful corporation” for “US Government”.

Even if you delay it, that doesn’t mean one company won’t have the lions share of the industry. I guess it gives time for others to catch up, but it could also give the leader to solidify its lead.

I’d go with 1 because 2 is rather impossible to achieve. I don’t think 10 years in the future AI will be owned by one corporation as you described. In the future I see AI incorporated in our lives in the same way the Internet is today. No doomsday scenarios, though.
