In both cases a central safety effort seems nearly impossible. E.g. trying to enforce international AI risk cooperation via air strikes against data centers [1] can easily be avoided by defecting countries by building supercomputers underground.
With the moon bugs this wasn't a big problem, as they were so unlikely. But for AI the risk seems quite large to me.
Right, but the original comment is trying to draw comfort from the actual Apollo scenario where central enforcement very much happened, not from my modified scenario. I think we're on roughly the same page.
