> All nations are incentivized to race ahead with AI But what's happening, to all appearances, is that it isn't "nations" driving this. It's commerce and the investor class. If AI development were de facto restricted to, e.g., the US Military and the Chinese military, that would slow everything down by years -- perhaps even longer than that -- and the most disruptive effects might never become manifest. I'll grant that AI research probably cannot be stopped at this point. But with Altman agitating for "regulations" it should really be apparent that the best form of regulation in this case is the ultimate one: A total ban on above-ground AI development.
