Great post, and glad to see someone working through this concretely. I wrote my first EA Forum post earlier this year on much the same intuition you’re operating on: the technologies that enable lock-in or front-running coups require strictly weaker AI than ASI does. Yours is far more grounded than mine, but the more people draw attention to this the better.

Thanks for reading! Would also love to see more writing on the potential near-to-mid-term dangers for democratic resilience :)
