Thanks. For people that aren’t likely to watch, I imagine it might also be worth saying he reports his view as being that we’re in an arms race we can’t opt out of (and that he’s changed his mind regarding—I think—the overall appropriateness of such a race, though from what to what I’m not sure) due to insufficient political sanity and part of what constitutes sanity, he says, would be the US and China being able to create a climate whereby we don’t fear each other, though it’s not totally obvious whether he thinks a sufficient condition for the race to ASI being abandoned would be if people ended up no longer predicting their rivals might develop it first or whether he thinks some other fears need to be allayed as well (I get some sense that it’s very much the latter, but it definitely wasn’t clear).
