This feels dystopian seeing so many company logos scrolling across a government announcement. Not to mention they seem to have made up their mind already what the future with AI will look like.

Oh man... we here in the UK and EU look at the US with envy. Our governments are so inept to even understand basic economics (currently the UK is trying to tax itself to growth), whilst the US government is enabling their own people and US businesses to flourish in emerging markets like AI.

They will create an AI version of Trump, whom Trump will endorse and promote to his MAGA base to take over when he is gone, and so Trump will be President in Perpetuity.

Don't they already have that? I think the beta version of it is called Grok.

I think you mean Mecha Hitler

Built with webflow.com, I love how they didn't even bother converting images into jpeg - purely demonstrating dominance in use of technology there.

> The United States is in a race to achieve global dominance in artificial intelligence. Whoever has the largest AI ecosystem will set the global standards and reap broad economic and security benefits Correction. Whoever has the largest AI will be the first to play the "defect" strategy in the Prisoner's Dilemma, and will thus be the first to usher in a new era of an arms race where everyone loses except those who a…

Does that change the urgency? Or just the perceived morality? TBH just because it's a question of strategy and survival doesn't change its importance.

Realizing it changes the urgency with which we should find a workaround that avoids the prisoner's dilemma altogether. We must go beyond thinking about strategy and "survival", because we have restricted our thinking of "survival" to a narrow economic domain. And that domain is the continued enrichment of the rich and calling it "strenthening the economy". However, we must find new ways of thinking that go beyond this narrow view that is, although seemingly good in the short-term, is leading to long-term disaster.

That will involve finding a new sort of courage to stop playing the arms race and re-defining the terms of the game so that economic supremacy is not the prime goal, as it is leading to global instability, climate change, inequality, and eventual technological dystopia.

I mean, do we really want to live in a world where everyone is an AI button-pusher, staying on the level of the superficial, which is rather meaningless in the grand scheme of things?
