I had two private conversations first to ask whether I should make this post, and the general consensus was that it was net good to share on LW. It seems the upside to making the topic more widely discussed among ourselves exceeds the potential downside.
I should also note that it’s not completely obvious if making the idea widely known to governments is net bad—maybe this would help curb Wild West development scenarios. But we should get careful consensus on a decision like that before moving ahead.
