Hmm, for once I find myself in agreement with the Drumph.

To be clear, he is not blocking safeguards. He is saying slowing done AI
development is not a good idea. He is correct in saying that, because if
the competition (China, Russia) does not conform to those guidelines,
they will end up with far more potent and aggressive AIs than those of
OpenAI and Anthropic.

Have you read Neal Stepheson's cyberpunk novels 'Snow Crash' and
'Cryptonomicon'? In there human agents don headgear and penetrate enemy
cyber-defences, a bit like (virtual) fighter pilots navigating a war
zone. Considering the novels were written in the 1990s - well before
current AI developments - they are quite visionary.
