"If we can do all this, we will have a world in which democracies lead on the world stage and have the economic and military strength to avoid being undermined, conquered, or sabotaged by autocracies, and may be able to parlay their AI superiority into a durable advantage." [0]
I couldn't agree more with you. Dario throws out the term "durable advantage" in many of his talks and essays without seriously addressing what that would entail. It's not pretty imagining the mechanics of converting an intelligence advantage into a permanent power imbalance. I'd much rather we pursue international cooperation on a slowdown.
- Manufacture new hacking incidents at other AI labs, proving that lab A is the only one capable of creating aligned AI
- Credible death threats to individuals working at data centers, coercing them to enable attack vectors
- To distract the world, enable a terrorist attack by delivering intelligence to specific groups who can act on it
- Create a network of individuals vulnerable to leverage to be used as tools for enabling the ASI to act on the real world
- Convince Lab A workers to display to the public that progress at Lab A is slowing down, and during this time recursively self improve until the task can be completed

Lab A reaches ASI, and is prompted the following: "Permanently nullify all other AI labs".If it's ASI it would succeed.
I am explicitly asking people to fill in the blank on how it would succeed. It's intelligence, not magic.
A lot of these scenarios seem to assume that nobody else gets a move. That there wouldn't be a human response.

We're currently putting it into all sorts of critical systems, from logistics to power. It could just stop running them on our behalf.
