On reading the paper I came here to question whether OGI helps or harms relative to other governance models should technical alignment be sufficiently intractable and coordinating on a longer pause required. (I assume it harms.) It wasn’t clear to me whether you had considered that.
Grateful for both the “needfully combative” challenge and this response.
I’m reading Nick as implicitly agreeing OGI doesn’t help in this case, but rating treaty-based coordination as much lower likelihood than solving alignment. If so, I think it worth confirming this and explicitly calling out the assumption in or near the essay.
(Like Haiku I myself am keen to help the public be rightfully outraged by plans without consent that increase extinction risk. I’m grateful for the ivory tower, and a natural resident there, but advocate joining us on the streets.)
