Raemon presses Tim Lee: even if intelligence's usefulness maxes out near human level, why not worry about the historically common scenario of AIs coordinating to take over — like the somewhat-more-advanced Europe colonizing the Americas and Africa, often claiming it was 'for their own good'? He argues stories of enlightened ASI or mutual AI monitoring seem unlikely to last more than 1–3 decades, and colonized peoples remain relatively disadvantaged to this day.
