The average CEO of a trillion dollar company is generally less ruthless than a mid-level drug dealer, or than the typical warlord. This implies that there is some reason that being maximally self-interested is not a strategy which outcompetes all other strategies at human levels. I don’t see why human level is special here, as long as multipolarity holds.
Is not this because of a lot of coordination, though? (I mean, the existence of relatively civilized states, their laws, and so on. For example, if one considers Russia, I am not sure that CEOs of largest orgs are typically less ruthless. So, yes, if AIs form a “decent society”, their (and everyone’s else) chances will be much better.)
