Zephyr warns a hypothetical US-China AGI duopoly is highly likely, while Teortaxes doubts US diplomatic reliability
Story Overview
A Twitter exchange kicked off by a scenario of the US and China striking a pact to bar other nations from AGI development drew quick agreement from Zephyr that the outcome carries high probability and would represent the worst timeline, while Teortaxes highlighted doubts over whether the US could be counted on to hold up its end of any such deal.
Reliability Questions Linger on Any Pact
Teortaxes flags US diplomatic consistency as a key unknown that would need resolution before any exclusion agreement could even be considered credible by the parties involved.
No Concrete Indicators Yet Emerge
The entire thread stays grounded in a single hypothetical premise without citing real-world signals, meetings, or policy moves that would make the duopoly scenario more or less plausible.
Users dismissed the idea of a US-China pact excluding others from AGI as hypocritical opportunism that only surfaces when China closes the tech gap.

The US would have to cease being agreement-noncapable first
America and China agreeing to sophon lock everyone else out of AGI remains underrated as a scenario. Firefly timeline
Also funny how this sentiment resurfaces when China closes the gap, and recedes when the gap grows. They don't want such a partner

@suwakopro transnational transpositional transfer learning from NPT mechanisms would be one framework being considered, one might presume
@suwakopro @zephyr_z9 What do you mean, how? Denying access to frontier models to the rest of the planet. And sharing tech to convince each other they are not threatening decapitation attacks against each other.
Already happening.
