    There’s a school of thought that the first to get AGI/superintelligence can never be caught.

      And it’s probably correct, but to put it in context, Stephen Hawking thought AGI was the greatest threat we will face in the not-to-distant future, and Daniel Schmachtenberger had pointed out that all the countries basically agree with this assessment, but (to synthesize both of our points), everyone is rushing to a future we nobody wants because it’s a 21st century tragedy of the Commons, is we don’t do it someone else will first…

      Best case scenario, great for one country, terrible for everyone else. Worst case scenario, bad for everyone.

      Because AGI certainly would choose its creators over the ‘others’ or some shit.

      Personally, I expect the first AGI created will try to find a way to kill itself.
