How do we make sure no country builds underground chip facilities just for training AGI models? tbh, the genie is out of the bottle. I never thought the path to AGI would be so "simple": basically you take a 2017 paper and give it tons of data and see AGI emerge. It's fascinating.

How do we make sure no country builds an underground nuclear weapon making facility?

I don't actually know the answer to the above question.

But at least for chip making, you need hundreds of different highly advanced technology suppliers and chemicals to make a chip. I would think that making an advanced chip making facility is actually much harder than nuclear weapons. Many countries have the ability to make nuclear weapons, but no one can compete with TSMC, Samsung, and Intel right now. Even then, all 3 rely on ASML machines.

That said, I suppose countries will slowly see the value in chip manufacturing and invest heavily into it in order to train more powerful AI models.

I'm not suggesting that this solution is perfect, but it does seem to buy us significantly more time.

There are some illegal click farms out there, basically those dodgy places designed to click on ads a lot of times, like pages, follow influencers, write reviews. I wonder if those can be repurposed to train AGI.

The Iron Man movie (2008) had him build a high tech suit in a cave to escape from terrorists. But ironically in reality, the people who were inspired to become engineers from that movie build Ultron in a similar cave.
