Conjecture

Gaming the Future rejects the designed-benevolent-singleton answer to AI: a unipolar takeover is unlikely to stay benevolent because powerful positions attract those who want power, institutions are already non-human intelligences we have learned to align through separated powers, and with nuclear multipolarity any bid for unipolar control risks war.

    Anything that threatens a unipolar takeover risks provoking a war, so unipolar solutions may be off the table anyway.
