Be careful though that we’re not just dealing with a group of people here.
Yes, I am proposing a form of systemic analysis such that one is willing to look at multiple levels of the stack of abstractions that make up the world ending machine. This can involve aggressive reductionism, such that you can end up modeling sub-systems and their motivations within individuals (either archetypal ones or specific ones), and can involve game theoretic and co-ordination focused models of teams that make up individual frontier labs—their incentives, their resource requirements, et cetera.
Most people focus on the latter, far fewer focus on the former, and I don’t think anyone is even trying to do a full stack analysis of what is going on.

Good to hear!
