Part 2/5:
In envisioning a future where developing superintelligent AI requires collective effort, the speaker draws a vivid analogy to Hollywood blockbusters like Armageddon. In that film, humanity unites to send Bruce Willis to destroy an asteroid threatening Earth’s survival. Similarly, the proposal suggests that humanity, as a species, might need to "get over ourselves" and cooperate on an unprecedented scale to fund and develop superintelligent AI systems.
This cooperation would mean pooling resources—financial, technological, and intellectual—from countries and organizations worldwide. The idea hinges on the recognition that the stakes are so high that individual or national efforts may no longer suffice; only unified action could accelerate progress while managing risks.
