• look at catastrophic risk writ large we can look at multipolar traps drive as a general game theoretic phenomena driving
• another thing game b has to do is solve multipolar traps so in other words look at the universal class of such things
• we have to solve for the class of multipolar traps or at large because it's not just we don't want an arms race
• dangerous to use your language multipolar traps does that actually point us to some game theoretic thing
• best that a market can give you with regard to multipolar traps but the level of bust that we get with exponential
• which is which would solve for multipolar traps because multipolar traps are a situation where the
• conflict and goodie-goodie more for me your multipolar trap right okay there's a way out of it tell me i'm
• to scale and so yeah i think you get out of the multipolar trap by you don't have to win at the game of power against some
• innovation yeah you get out of a multipolar trap that way i want to try aggregating all the little bits that i'm
• don't see any world in which we can defeat all these multipolar traps but i think what you're really saying to me

• how do we reorient the game theory outside of those multipolar traps i would say is one of our underlying
• who pursues the opportunity first and then there's this multipolar trap of well let's say we don't the other guy is

• overview on the topic i'm aware of so what do we mean by a multipolar trap we mean a multiplayer
• and so then you have ooda loops in kind of multipolar traps with each other leading to
• the development of maximally capable ais and kind of multipolar traps with each other
• more hands are emerging so the multipolar trap is underneath why we can't say let's just not do a
• capacity in a particular kind of you know multipolar trap scenario and then we are the descendants of those
• there are some other examples of multipolar traps this is an example of kind of the arms race side
• we can think about the tragedy of the commons as another multipolar trap and it's not that no multipolar traps have
• commons as another multipolar trap and it's not that no multipolar traps have ever been solved or bound they have you
• assured destruction was binding a multipolar trap on nuclear weapons in a particular way
• solutions to the nature of the multipolar traps that are catastrophic that we face currently
• rule of law is a way to bind a multipolar trap right inside of a nation state
• estate is a way to bind a particular kind of market-driven multipolar trap but that is of course within the domain
• energy use in gdp correlate and everybody's in a multipolar trap race for gdp growth because that equals
• population growth advantage that they will simply win this multipolar trap so unless we could get all of the major
• critical things to be able to bind multipolar traps at international levels so whether we're talking about
• would disadvantage us not to unless we can get over the multipolar trap we don't solve these issues
• game theory and this is underlying the game theory of multipolar traps that those who
• of advancement this is also a multipolar trap it's a multipolar trap in the market
• underneath multipolar traps is the perverse game theory to orient
• opaqueness means that the agreements can't be made so the multipolar trap is the only thing that is left
• uh collective action problems and multipolar traps and so the decentralized catastrophic or
• the decentralized exponential power creates multipolar traps creates increasing catastrophes so then it also
• us back to why the multipolar trap is one of the very deep
• otherwise they'd actually be losing the multipolar trap that is now a race to the top on transparency rather than race
