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

2 I've answered 2 in all the cases though I was leaning a bit towards 1 in this one. I don't think that a lot of people realise how powerful an AI that is 10 years ahead would be. At that point it would be practically impossible to catch up to it. OpenAI is like a year or 2 ahead of everyone and the gap hasn't closed

I remember the disappointment I felt as everyone slowly realised that openAI isn't open sourcing gpt-3. I don't know exactly how advanced a 10 year ahead AI would be but it would definitely be sufficiently advanced to keep increasing the gap if we assume that AI keeps improving at its current pace.
