I take AI x-risk somewhat more seriously than Marc and am more sympathetic to the rationalist community that warns about it. But I mostly agree with this thread

One other disagreement: What if the US doesn't develop AI? Marc seems to think the biggest risk is that China will do it. I think the bigger risk is that China *won't* do it, *no one* will do it, and we'll lose the benefits of AI entirely.
