IMO someone should consider writing a “how and why” post on nationalizing AI companies. It could accomplish a few things:
Ensure there’s a reasonable plan in place for nationalization. That way if nationalization happens, we can decrease the likelihood of it being controlled by Donald Trump with few safeguards, or something like that. Maybe we could take inspiration from a less partisan organization like the Federal Reserve.
Scare off investors. Just writing the post and having it be discussed a lot could scare them.
Get AI companies on their best behavior. Maybe Sam Altman would finally be pushed out if congresspeople made him the poster child for why nationalization is needed.
@Ebenezer Dukakis I would be even more excited about a “how and why” post for internationalizing AGI development and spelling out what kinds of international institutions could build + govern AGI.
