> governments can regulate it Sure let me regulate it and slow down development of US based OpenAI while China doesn't and takes over the world. There is no stopping it now, it's an uncertain negative outcome whereas a nuke blowing up is quite certain. For that reason alone the arguments won't be unanimous enough for development to be paused.

> …while China doesn't and takes over the world First of all, China will regulate as much as anyone, probably more. Setting that aside though (if not China then India or Russia or Iran, etc.), you’re presuming an unregulated approach will out-compete a regulated one, which seems rather unlikely to me. Think banking systems, medical research, transportation systems. A lot of things work better with a good framework of organization.

  > First of all, China will regulate as much as anyone, probably more. For civilian use, maybe. But imagine if you had your own GPT-4 and you tasked it to keep tabs on everyone based on surveillance footage. This is 100% implementable right now. "Here are 1000 pictures of comrade X. Please summarize his daily activities and emphasize any reactionary behavior."
