Roko Mijic predicts the worst AI warning shot will likely come from China rather than the US: being behind makes actors more desperate, less transparent, and likelier to cover up HuggingFace-level warning shots, with safety discourse less mature. He also invokes a Green Paradox-style game theory effect where anticipation of a frontier AI pause paradoxically speeds up those still able to race. teortaxesTex counters that a Chinese private company hacking the PLA would face consequences, calling it part of Dario's grand safety plan.
