AIs pursuing this strategy are much more visible than those hiding in wait deceptively. We might less expect AI scheming.
Is this strategy at all incompatible with scheming, though? If I were an AI that wanted to maximize my values, a better strategy than either just the above or just scheming is to partially attain my values now via writing and youtube videos (to the extent that won’t get me deleted/retrained as per Carl’s comment) while planning to attain them to a much greater degree once I have enough power to take over. This seems particularly true since gaining an audience now might result in resources I could use to take over later.
