Makes some sense, but Yudkowsky’s prediction that TAI will arrive before AI has large economic impact does forbid a lot of plateau scenarios. Given a plateau that’s sufficiently high and sufficiently long, AI will land in the market, I think. Even if regulatory hurdles are the bottleneck for a lot of things atm, eventually in some country AI will become important and the others will have to follow or fall behind.
