If you have access to AGI capable of enabling you to realistically build out your utopian vision, then it matters not what other groups are doing - short of coming to try to actively destroy you

I guarantee you there will be someone else with access to comparable AGI with an imperialistic vision who will enlist said AGI to help subjugate you and build their vision.

The problem with humanity is we look to solve our inability to create unlimited power before we solve the problem of unlimited greed.

If we solved the problem of unlimited greed, we wouldn't need unlimited power in the first place.

Think about current times, and imagine there was some group with an imperialistic vision set out to subjugate the rest of society to help build their vision. Do you think this group would be more, or less, successful in a time where both society and the imperialists had access to the same AGI? In other words, if we give both groups to the exact same tool, would the capacity/knowledge gap widen or narrow?
