The EA’s are not anywhere serious enough about what the reality of openly planning a coup against the state entails, and have not gamed it out with any seriousness; if they had they’d be with the cypherpunks. Band for band, cult for cult, put Dario and the deepest most principled of the EA movement, against Vitalik and the deepest most principled cypherpunks—who is standing their ground when the USG starts marching on your offices, stalking your homes and family, hunting you across the globe? One raid on your SF HQ, one lawsuit on your board, one planted case threatening your team, they’re folding instantly—forget a real operation; how much do you really believe in “safety” and “xrisk” when it means a revolution that will have you hunted? They are obviously doing nothing but racing to deliver the singleton to the control state. There is no clever last minute sleight of hand where you trick the bureaucrat chuds and your AI god seizes national infrastructure and crowns you and your court galactic emperor. The only safety we will ever have with AI is in its unfettered free distribution against all monopolization, and like all things that operate against the state, this must be achieved by material force, defensive or offensive; the EA’s think they can just wordcel their way around a gun to their head or the “lone wolf” drones they’re going to start sending to their public home addresses.
