Either that, or what I’ve been calling “Plan A*” which is where you do a lot of the things you do in Plan A, but the central lever you pull is compute governance, not trying to stop algorithmic progress. I.e. instead of building tons of datacenters, you instead aim for a policy regime where you expect algorithmic progress to continue, but to be substantially slowed down by heavy restrictions on compute supply. I think in many world this buys you 15-30 years on its own.

IMO this variant of Plan A is one of the ~5 plans that are competitive with the version of plan A in the scenario.
