I appreciate your point. But the conclusion should be that AI is just bad all around, and we should stop using it until we can make things provably safe and ethical. That fixes the governance issues as well as the doomsday issue. So both issues align in the same direction and aren't mutually exclusive
"Provably safe and ethical" is an impossible standard. Nothing clears that bar. And whoever defines the terms gets permanent veto power.
A moratorium doesn't fix governance problems either. The companies keep their data, their infrastructure, their market position. When it lifts, the same players dominate.
The two framings don't line up. They point opposite directions. Doom rhetoric leads to compute thresholds and safety certifications only big labs can afford. Governance concerns lead to antitrust and labor protections. One consolidates power. The other disperses it.
Fair enough. Though there's no rule we have to allow AI at all. We don't allow people to own nukes. AI are nukes in your pocket. We're allowed to say no forever
