Here's the thing, current computational power isn't enough to achieve the scale of model that would be required for "god like" AI. So isn't that kind of a natural brake, where we have to wait for computing speed to catch up with our ambitions? Why do we need additional handicaps and slowdowns on top of that? I've seen a theory that the big tech companies are the ones pushing for regulation in order to achieve regulat…

We don’t know that. It would seem likely, perhaps, but we don’t know that.

No - absolutely not. Slowing down innovation in the face with vague “existential risk” fearmongering is absurd. We should be pursuing the opposite, and accelerating efforts to build what will be some of the most transformative technology humanity has ever developed (and some could argue, NOT building has its own existential risks).

Are you literally me? I’ve said almost the same thing in some reddit threads. Innovation should not be stopped only because some people are afraid of something they know nothing about.

Which is ironic, because this makes it sound like you know nothing about AI safety. ;) Have a read of, say, Anthropic's core views on their website. Or maybe see what people like Demis Hassabis, Sam Altman, or Stuart Russell have to say (to name a just a few).
