If you apply this logic to nuclear weapons, the inevitable conclusion is unilateral disarmament, followed by being conquered by those who didn't disarm. This kumbaya pacifism doesn't work in the real world and it's incredibly irresponsible to advocate it as a matter of policy. There absolutely is an AI arms race and we're losing it in part because of the naive utopianism of west coast tech activists who think that if we ban "bad" tech, nobody will use it.
