This is a great post. Anyone pushing for AI regulation should make sure they are familiar with this post or at least the ideas in it.
However, I don’t think you’ve convinced me that AI regulation will increase x-risk, because you haven’t talked much at all about what the world without AI regulation looks like. Seems to me that that world looks like almost-certain doom, for the usual reasons. With such a low bar, I conclude that advocating for regulation is net-positive, because there’s a decent chance it’ll buy the world a bunch of time.
