iamtrask: Concentrating more power than the AI risk you're mitigating is a bad strategy

iamtrask (OpenMined founder) argues that many AI safety communities pushing for even more power concentration—such as a one-world government to regulate AI—assume AI power concentration is inevitable or beneficial. He respects the motivation but rejects that premise, adding that trying to concentrate more power than the risk you're trying to mitigate is generally a bad strategy.
