I am wondering if you could say something about how the political developments in the US (i.e., Trump 2.0) are affecting your thinking on AGI race dynamics? It seems like the default assumption communicated publicly is still that the US are “the good guys” and a “western liberal democracy” that can be counted on, when the actual actions on the world stage are casting at least some doubt on this position. In some sense, one could even argue that we are already playing out a high-stakes alignment crisis at this very moment.
Any reactions or comments on this issue? I understand that openness around this topic is difficult at the moment but I also don’t think that complete silence is all that wise either.
