If the US and China are in a state where they’re willing to cooperate on ASI, I would much prefer that they agree not to build ASI (until there’s a broad consensus that we know how to make it safely).
If they agree to that, and we do eventually figure out how to build aligned ASI, then it would be good to have a global agreement on what that ASI should do. But if we’re going to do work today to work toward some sort of international cooperation on ASI, then the objective of that cooperation should be to not build ASI.
