support technical safety, global priorities research, AI welfare, AI x Animals, acceleration of defensive technologies, or governance to counter the intelligence curse (indeed Miller fearmongers about “UBI-based communism”!).
FWIW, I approximately don’t think any of those things matter compared to just not building AGI. Other people can disagree of course, but please do not count me as someone who thinks those things are of comparable importance!
Even from a PauseAI standpoint (which isn’t my stance, but I do think global compute governance would be a good thing if achievable), I don’t see nationalists (some of which want the US to leave the United Nations) pushing for global compute governance with China. This is really only convincing from a specifically StopAI standpoint where you push for a national ban because you believe everyone regardless of {prior political beliefs,risk tolerance,likelihood of ending up as a winner post-intelligence-curse} will agree on stopping AGI and not taking part in an arms race if exposed to the right arguments, and expect people everywhere else on Earth will also push for a national ban in all their own countries without any coordination.
