When you need a football field of GPU to host frontier models and advance the state of the art, it's not too late. The supply of GPUs can be monitored and controlled. Access can be limited. International agreements to stop further progress can be hashed out (the China bogeyman is a mirage). We could outlaw the commercialization of more capable models and seize datacenters that aren't in compliance. If the current models were as far as we got, we'd be mostly fine. The only thing stopping us from realizing this future is the inability to coordinate.
