The moratorium could shift global technological progress to China.
@teortaxesTex given recent events, i would not underestimate the US ability to torpedo their own lead with self-destructive actions
there's a nontrivial probability that the US enacts a full federal moratorium on datacenters in 5 years imo
yes, yes, unrealistic levels of spine
Negative users dismiss arguments about US datacenter moratorium risks as incorrect while directing hostile insults toward Americans over the potential policy.
While my answer to this blunt question rn would be "…not much", there is still Dario's supernuke Hail Mary But more importantly. Can we Rest Of Worlders just entrust Americans to Old Yeller themselves? Or hope that Chyna, this Asian Prometheus, will gib us wings? Grow up.

@teortaxesTex i already see signs of this happening internationally - the iran war was really bad for this because it sends a very negative signal to the asian countries the US needs on side to keep enforcing export controls
@EgeErdil2 @teortaxesTex Actually the probability of that is extremely trivial. Close to 0. It’s extremely hard to ban anything at the national level in the US, much less something with so much money behind it. Especially as it becomes more clear how important AI is
@teortaxesTex could you give me a hard example as to what would agi help in ana actual material way in a hot war between china and the US? (considering everything apart from nukes is on the table)
@teortaxesTex not only did the US not give a fuck about the impact of the oil price shock on their economies, but they also failed to defeat iran
what's the US going to do against china if they can't even beat iran?
is the US even going to defend korea or taiwan if they are attacked?
@woke8yearold @teortaxesTex no, it's not. you're totally wrong about this
@EgeErdil2 Praying for Americans to take themselves out back like Old Yeller would be even less dignified
@pizzacritic999 If you super-Stuxnet every Chinese "dark factory" or any factory to smash the robot actuators against the conveyors or worker heads, you're going to fare much better in a war of materiel attrition that's just one argument
