One central AI is not a good idea. What is a good idea is creating something similar to the International Atomic Energy Agency to do the same thing it does for atomic energy and nuclear weapons. We need a strong, verifiable AGI non-proliferation treaty. It would be a pain. Everyone would lose their rights to unlimited numbers of hundred thousand dollar H 100 GPUs and the like, but it would be worth it in the end.

And just who is going to do this "verifying" AND (you don't mention it) ENFORCING??? Why it's the Global Thought Police!

Do you really think you can sell this crap here? With the potential for the excercise of power like that, do you really think for one second that no one will try to overstep those bounds because of a treaty?

So you would constrain ALL of those who would exercise constraint, under the presumption that, lacking the power to inflict appropriate punishmnet, whoever sits at the top of this fantasy heap will. Under treaty no less, supreme law of the land with no recourse, as if a President constrained to the Constitution and Laws authorized under Article I Section 8 could be authorized to negotiate such a power!!!

I will hopefully conclude you haven't thought about these things very deeply, so allow me to assist you.

There is an alternative to this thought process; either nobody has such power or most everybody does. Being a fan of the Second Amendment; to my mind; "arms" includes intelligent agents, with their miscreant directors to be punshed by the means advised on my tag line.

[Breitbart was right]

You need to understand what AGI means for research and development and downstream from that, the whole world. All of sudden, everything we have taken for granted about the near future has changed. It does not matter that we like this or don’t like it, our reality is about to change in a profound way. Right now you are out of your depth in these things. Learn more about what AGI means to our country and to the world. Understand. Every one has a right to their opinion, even an uninformed opinion, but in the the life or death circumstances we are about to find ourselves, it is better to understand the issues involved.

The likelihood is that we will freeze AI development at some point this year one way or another. It is unsafe to continue, and not in our interest. Even if we froze all new research today, our current AI will GREATLY accelerate scientific development in dangerous and unexpected ways. Everything changes starting this year. I wish this was not so. But it is and there is literally nothing we can do to stop our world from undergoing massive change. What we may be able to do is to reduce that disruptive change and delay the full impact of it on humanity for a time. Again, I wish this was not so, but my opinion on this, as yours, means practically nothing.
