Interesting. I interpreted Miguel to be implying that progress will be made in this technology regardless, and that *it* will determine real outcomes. e.g. Slowing the Manhattan project because of ethical concerns doesn’t result in 0 nukes; it results in a Third Reich victory.

That also results in a very different meaning taken as “we should wait and see what Miguel means” vs “we should wait and see whether anyone does weaponize AI to take over the world”
