The fact that the US and China are now engaging in what is known as a “terminal race scenario” within AI safety circles for a little over a decade. If this Cold War 2.0 continues to play out it will lead to technology which is more difficult to control (due to emergent properties), proliferates faster, and has more destructive capacity. There are worse fates than extinction if we get this wrong, and due to shortening timelines it seems we have <10 years and as of two months ago perhaps <4 years to address this.
