I am challenged to think of a way that my Newly Minted MIRI Competitor could differentiate itself from MIRI in a way that is both:
a) optimal, and
b) non-divergent from MIRI's goals in such a way as to be functionally different.
I could certainly fund Evilbot Angry AI Development Labs, and we might see a difference in focus away from GAI frameworks and more towards how-to-kill-all-the-humans-as-effectively-as-possible research, but that doesn't let me weed out what 'local parochialism' is.
No one knows what is optimal, if more people attempted to find it, it would increase probability that at least one of them would succeed.
