AI labs are losing the narrative war and need a three-level cooperation vision
sudoraohacker · x · 2026-10-28
The author argues AI labs are building history's greatest technology but losing the narrative game, with policymakers and cultural critics demanding they fix their story or stay quiet. He calls for a strikingly positive vision built on game theory: prosperity isn't guaranteed and requires cooperation at three levels — among top labs, between labs and the broader industry/workforce, and between the US and China before the rest of the world. Stakes: without cooperation, stagnation, demographic failure and even state failure loom, and AI risks being shut down like nuclear power, which was killed 'on vibes' and may have cost tens of millions of lives over 50 years.
