Preventing AI development indefinitely via desperate politico-military struggle would just not work in the long term. Trying would be utter folly.
This reminds me of Charles Stross’ “why even try—AI can’t be stopped” (my paraphrase).
Surely if it buys a little extra time for a FAI singleton to succeed, desperate struggle to suppress other lines of dangerously-near-culmination AI research would seem incumbent. I guess this might be one of those scary (and sufficiently distant) things nobody wants to advertise.
