The government can be democratically elected. You idiot. Ordinary people elect the government and compromise the people making art. Corporations are oligarchical, and ordinary people have effectively no control over their governance. Democratic power concentrated in one government is more decentralized than oligarchical power concentrated in ten corporations. Ideally power would be diffuse to everyone, but creating a system where all ownership of AI is cooperative is only possible through first destroying the oligarchy that currently controls it.
This is self evident to anyone with any political education using sources more recent than 1700, and honestly even the original Leviathan knows that corporations are a threat. That conclusion that governments were more of one was before hundreds of years of capital accumulation and democratization of the west.
This is why the left is so completely done with you clowns. If the AI risk profiles being advocated are accurate and you’re still ignorant of how centralization of power works in a democracy, still so ignorant of the threat of corporate oligarchy, despite the active destruction of America by corporate oligarchs, then nuclear war is preferable to letting the current batch of EA write the future of AI; you’ll enforce a hereditary feudalism by accident, should you ever manage to wrangle the god your building. That you idiots couldn’t predict the future of AI if you had a god AI is the only solace.
And before you snowflakes lock this out via moderation; what can be destroyed by the truth should be. That includes the ego of your membership.
Usually we are the ones accussed (not always unfairly to be honest given Yudkowsky’s TIME article) of being so fanatical we’d risk nuclear war to further our nefararious long-tern goals. The claim that nuclear war is preferable to us is novel at least.
