Yes. In a slow takeoff scenario where we have AI that can double GDP in 4 years, I donโt regulations will stand in the way. Some countries will adopt the new technologies and then other countries will follow when they realize they are falling behind. NIMBYs and excessive regulations are a problem for economic growth when GDP is growing by 2% or 3% but probably wonโt matter much if GDP is growing by 20% or 30%.
I guess I donโt understand how slow takeoff can happen without economic consequences.
Like takeoff (in capabilities progress) may still be slow, but the impact of AI is more likely to be discontinuous in that case.
I was probably insufficiently clear on that point.
