The author argues that once superintelligence runs unrestricted in a data center in one country, it will quickly be accessed by other nations. Even if some countries impose restrictions, it is highly unlikely that all countries will be able to block it completely.
The conclusion is that AI will ultimately be "unstoppable," acting more like a technological force that spreads across borders rather than something a single country can lock down indefinitely.
