(If intelligence explosion were possible, you could win the WBE race by a small margin and translate that into a big win, but for this post I’m assuming that intelligence explosion isn’t possible, so you need to win the race by a large margin.)
Since exploiting intelligence explosion still requires FAI, and FAI could be very difficult, you might still need a large enough margin to perform all the necessary FAI research before your competition stumbles on an AGI.
