The website https://www.nationalsecurity.ai/ explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and national security, focusing on how AI's rapid advancements are reshaping global power dynamics and security landscapes. A central concept it introduces is "Mutual Assured AI Malfunction" (MAIM), which parallels nuclear deterrence. MAIM suggests that the threat of sabotaging a rival's AI systems could deter nations from pursuing destabilizing AI projects that might grant a strategic monopoly or lead to uncontrolled outcomes. The site emphasizes AI's dual-use nature—its potential for both civilian and military applications—positioning it as a critical factor in national security. It advocates for managing AI risks through strategies like deterrence, transparency, and international cooperation to prevent catastrophic consequences.

The Superintelligence Strategy also proposes tracking and controlling every Nvidia A100 class chip or more powerful chips. In the early 2000s, the U.S. did impose export restrictions on PS2s and PS3s due to their chips' potential military applications. These measures were about geopolitics, not domestic regulation, and they've largely stopped targeting consoles specifically as technology has moved on.

If one chip out of tens of millions is a problem, then your national and military grade AI program is filled with idiots for not being able to stay ahead of it. Thus, I believe individual chips should be treated more like hand guns. Everyone needs to have them. The big national programs would have billion chip clusters more.

If XAI and big tech and national program can't work with a million times resource advantage, then what is their problem? National Security AI is saying they have cybersecurity incompetence and want to err on the side of police state.

Analysis of the MAIM Approach
While MAIM draws an intriguing analogy to nuclear deterrence, its practicality and effectiveness for AI are questionable, especially given the current state of AI development.

Here's why:

Differences from Nuclear Weapons: Nuclear deterrence works because weapons are physical, countable, and verifiable. AI, however, is software-based, easily replicated, and widely distributed, making it nearly impossible to monitor or enforce a deterrence mechanism like MAIM.
There are physical aspects currently and those are massive AI data centers like the 200,000 GPU xAI data center in Memphis. There are large data centers operated by Meta, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Tesla and many, many others.
