Yeah, it’s the same problem as nuclear proliferation.

We see what happened with Ukraine when they gave up their nukes in exchange for a promise of protection.

The same could be true of countries who forgo AI development directly in exchange for promises.

More poignantly we saw it in Iran.

  • Wanting more independence from a former imperial master != building an oppressive government on theology and building a nuclear program that seems to exist to back that theology by threatening a nation that causes you theocratic issues.
