Akash, your comment raises the good point that a short-timelines plan that doesn’t realize governments are a really important lever here is missing a lot of opportunities for safety. Another piece of the puzzle that comes out when you consider what governance measures we’d want to include in the short timelines plan is the “off-ramps problem” that’s sort of touched on in this post.
Basically, our short timelines plan needs to also include measures (mostly governance/policy, though also technical) that get us to a desirable off-ramp from geopolitical tensions brought about by the economic and military transformation resulting from AGI/ASI.
I don’t think there are good off-ramps that do not route through governments. This is one reason to include more government-focused outreach/measures in our plans.
