It's not a space race until Governments start pouring massive amounts of their GDP into it.

I sure don't. We need to get it right. Not barrel ahead in an arms race.

You know the closer we get to AGI the more that will happen. Every government will want to be the first in control of an ASI which will basically make them the dominant superpower of the world. It will be as dystopian as it sounds.

There will be both good and bad that comes out as we get closer to AGI, and attain AGI, just like and other technological revolution. To paint it as "either" dystopian or utopian is naive.

It depends. We cannot see the other side of a singularity.

We could have an alignment issue and end up as paper clips.

AI could solve everything from climate change to social inequality by reducing the human race to 50 million Stone Age hunter gatherers.

Or, you could have the top 1% living in a utopia while everyone else is living in a dystopia.
