The "Monitoring" subsection. Bostrom makes good points about why state actors would be likely to seek to monopolize AGI development, if they took it to be a threat to their power monopolies. I hadn't given the possibility sufficient consideration until this point. These actors do seem disinterested so far, but (as Bostrom points out) that might well be a pretense, and even if not it doesn't mean they'll remain so for too long to matter.
