I agree that all kinds of AI research that are even close to AGI will have to be banned or strictly regulated, and that convincing all nations to ensure this is a hugely complicated political problem. (I don't think it is more difficult than controlling carbon emissions, because of status quo bias: it is easier to convince someone to not do something new that sounds good, than to get them to stop doing something they view as good. But it is still hugely difficult, no questions about that.) It just seems to me even more difficult (and risky) to aim to solve flawlessly all the problems of FAI.
Note that the problem is not convincing countries not to do AI, the problem is convincing countries to police their population to prevent them from doing AI.
It’s much harder to hide a factory or a nuclear laboratory than to hide a bunch of geeks in a basement filled with computers. Note how bio-weapons are really scary not (just) because countries might (or are) developing them, but that it’s soon becoming easy enough for someone to do it in their kitchen.
