read something today thats been stuck in my head. the team behind AI 2027 https://ai-2027.com/ put out a follow up, AI 2040. if 2027 was the warning, this is the "ok so what do we actually do" part. the idea is kind of wild. they basically say if the race to superintelligence keeps going like now, it ends bad. either we lose control or power ends up in the hands of like 5 people. so instead of just predicting that, they wrote out the good ending and called it Plan A. Plan A is: slow down on purpose. push superintelligence back to 2040, make all AI research public so no country can hide what its building, set it up so nobody can secretly sprint ahead. kind of like the nuclear standoff logic but for compute. and they dont even say this is what WILL happen. its what they think should happen. then they map out 4 darker paths for if we dont. honestly i hope it goes something like this. would be kind of incredible if it actually did. but a whole "everyone slows down together" global deal is a big ask, im not naive about it. so whats your read, is slowing down on purpose even possible or are we already past that point? and if you got your own version of how the next 10 years go, drop it, id genuinely like to hear it. https://ai-2040.com/
