Would sending or transferring the ownership of the GPUs to an AI safety organization instead of destroying them be a significantly better option?
PRO: - The AI safety organizations would have much more computing power
CON: - The GPUs would still be there and at risk of being acquired by rogue AIs or human organizations - The delay in moving the GPUs may make them arrive too late to be of use - Transferring the ownership has the problem that the ownership can easily be transferred back (nationalization, forced transfer, or sold back) - This solution requires verifying that the AI safety organizations are not advancing capabilities (intentionally or not)
