Ending AI labs' power to pick winners via early model access, argued as key anti-RSI lever

bilal2vec argues the single easiest step to prevent RSI-enabled disempowerment is ending the trend of AI labs and affiliated groups picking winners and losers by controlling early access to new models (citing physical superintelligence's results via access to a new Claude model). He notes government safety-testing timelines clash with labs racing to show flashy science before IPOs, and things may improve once IPOs wrap up. Quoted viemccoy predicts allyship with Dems will backfire on AI safety: consumer AI bans without military limits mean less oversight and more RSI.
