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”.

As much as I think we should steam forward on AI, having the best AI only in the hands of one corp isn't progress. So 2.

tough call i'd like to pick 1 (huge potential to save and improve lives) but im finding it very hard to to think of more than 2-3 people who I'd trust to run this corporation I guess I'm strongly a "constrained vision" kinda guy
