Summary

If an ASI ban is to accomplish anything at all, it has to be effective everywhere.

…

ASI is a product that kills people standing on the other side of the planet. Driving an AI company out of just your own city will not protect your family from death. It won't even protect your city from job losses, earlier in the timeline.

And similarly: To impede one executive, one researcher, or one company, does not change where AI is heading.

…

Even if you're desperate, an outburst of violence usually will not actually solve your problems!
