The case for cooperation over a winner-take-all AI race
One post argues that an arms-race approach to AI misallocates capital and makes the technology less safe, pointing instead to risks from non-state actors using small, specialized models.
TLDR
A post promoting a conversation about the U.S.–China AI race compares AI to electricity: something that spreads widely rather than delivers a single winner. The author argues that the more important threat is not competition between states over artificial general intelligence, but non-state actors using small, specialized chemical or biological models on laptops. The post calls cooperation the only path to addressing that risk.
