It's beyond "an arms race." AI has become a commodity that's everywhere and it's being used and developed by zillions of completely different groups all over the world with wildly varying use cases and completely different goals.

At this point, trying to ban it would be like trying to ban dandelions from growing.

    The groups doing frontier research with the appropriate funding are few enough that a global pause would be possible, and useful.

    I agree that a ban would be impossible, and counterproductive even if it were possible.

    Except when you think about if a ban were actually implemented it would absolutely be pro-entrenched companies like OpenAI and Anthropic and open weight models could be banned outright, I've already seen well-intentioned but misguided "experts" saying exactly that, BAN open weight models and pause further development, who would that benefit directly?
