Sam Altman is either running for US government soon, or is looking for some post in the UN. just look up how many heads of government he has visited last month

As a species, we need to commit to the belief that a powerful enough AI can prevent/avoid/vanquish any and all zero-sum games between any two entities. Otherwise we commit to adversarial relationships, and plan to use and develop the most powerful technology against each other.
"If we don't do it, the evil people will do it anyway" is not a good argument. Military applications are a small subset and are unaffected by copyright issues. Applications can be trained in secrecy. The copyright, plagiarism and unemployment issues are entirely disjoint from the national security issues. If North Korea trains a chat bot using material that is prohibited for training by a special license, so what? Th…

It’s insane to me that he of all people is doing all this talking. He has massive conflicts of interest that should be abundantly obvious
This might also give evidence that OpenAI has interests that it has not yet publicly talked about. Just some food for thought: which kind of possible interests that OpenAI might have are consistent with Sam Altman's behaviour?

The economy is a national security issue though. If other countries take over the globalized economy due to leveraging ai, it is destructive. And, after all, the Soviet Union fell due to economic and spending related issues, not due to military maneuvers
I think it would likely be a constant competition rather than take over. Why is it destructive?

He was to ensure lawmakers overlook the immediate danger of AI Systems and focus on only conceptual danger

Why does it have to be NK? Why would adversaries respect IP in the first place? Makes zero sense. I would expect a rational actor to put out some PR about integrity and such, but otherwise, sounds like a narrative that should only appeal to naive children

But in general copyright doesn't apply to governments, even here in the US. The North Korean government can violate copyright all it wants to, its subject citizens can't, though. https://www.natlawreview.com/article/state-entity-shielded-l...
Legislating around the model is missing the point.
There is no evidence that a runaway artificial intelligence is even possible. The focus on this is going to distract us from the real and current issues with strong AI. The real risks are societal instability due to:
- Rapid disruption of the labor market
- Astroturfing, psyops, and disruption of general trust (commercially and maliciously, both domestic and foreign)
- Crippling of our domestic ai capabilities, leading to cutting edge development moving overseas, and a loss of our ability to influence further development.
- Increased concentration of power and disruption of decentralized and democratic forms of organization due to all of the above.
