I”m not making a judgement about whether or not it would be a good thing. I’m saying that I don’t believe it will happen even if you could convince the US government to be against AGI development.
Depends on the degree. If the US government is firmly convinced that if the AGI project is allowed to come to fruition it will be all paperclips all the time, why, it might as well bomb Beijing (or whatever city is appropriate).
On the other hand, if the the US government thinks that there might be some danger from the AGI project but the danger of a nuclear exchange with China is, ahem, a bigger issue, then it would not and it would be a good thing.
If you’re not making a judgement then I don’t see much point in this branch, anyway. The US government is not a global government, most of the time. So what?
