@jasoncrawford I agree scenarios can be useful, perhaps my first point was too strongly stated!
A cadre of elites decides which research directions are permissible, caps global compute and robotics, and creates state-administered scarcity rents. … Building an entire apparatus tasked with maximally empowering the government and its grip on research, knowledge, and technology is dangerous.” @sebkrier I would like to see a “what to do” proposal based on (in Séb's words) “polycentric, competitive, or distributed institutions,” or equivalently, on @VitalikButerin-style d/acc principles. Incidentally, I think scenarios are a fine format. They help you think and communicate concretely. We just all need to remember that a scenario is not an argument.
@jasoncrawford > I would like to see a “what to do” proposal based on... I think GPU arms control proposals are among the best things roughly in this direction. E.g., just slow the overall trajectory in the most light touch way and then let things play out. See https://ai-2040.com/?choices=plan-a-root#other-plans-that-are-competitive-with-plan-a
@RyanGreenblatt @jasoncrawford I don't really think these cover the kinds of things that worry critics about the plan.
