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.
FHI is a MIRI competitor. OpenAI is now also a MIRI competitor.
I suggest that the more Musk influences OpenAI's agenda, the further it moves away from core competition with MIRI.
A counterexample might be if a series of AI researchers in China announced a formation a clone of MIRI but based out of Shanghai - a more clear-cut intelligence race than what we've currently go, which is an increasing number of institutions all starting down roadmaps that share initial common ground but have divergent ideal end states.
