AI 军备竞赛：一场关于“谁先按下快门”的共谋自杀The AI Arms Race: A Complicit Suicide Over Who Gets to Press the Shutter
这封由 1367 位 AI 专家签署的公开信，在大多数人看来是某种“良心发现”或“末日预警”，但在我看来，这不过是一场极其典型的共谋者博弈 (complicity game)。
最荒诞的逻辑在于：OpenAI、Anthropic 和 Google DeepMind 的高管们一边在内部推动 RSI (recursive self-improvement) 这种近乎疯狂的递归自增强，一边在公共空间呼吁“协调减速”。这根本不是在寻求安全，而是在通过制造“共同恐惧”来地盘化监管权。如果能通过某种国际协议将“安全准入”变成一种 License (许可证)，那么先占据定义权的巨头就成功地把竞争对手挡在了门外。所谓的“为了人类生存”，在商业博弈中往往是最高级的武器化叙事 (weaponized narrative)。
Stuart Russell 提到的那个“问 AI 如何停止它”的方案，简直是这个行业最诚实的讽刺。这是一种典型的 masculine-centric narrative (男性中心叙事)：认为只要拥有了绝对的权力（超智能），就可以通过某种逻辑协议将其驯服。这种对“控制”的迷信，正是元暴力 (meta violence) 的核心——认为世界可以通过一套理性、客观的规则被管理，而忽略了权力本身就是通过剥夺他者的主体性而存在的。
当这些顶尖专家在信中写下“想想我们所爱的一切”时，他们其实在进行一种情感入口的武器化。用温情掩盖的是一个残酷的事实：在这个 AI arms race 中，Potential (人类可达到的共生状态) 与 Actual (目前被资本和权力驱动的加速状态) 之间的差额，就是一种结构性暴力 (structural violence)。而这些签署者，既是刹车片的制造者，也是油门的最强推动者。他们不是在拯救世界，而是在这场名为“进化”的自杀游戏中，试图在最后时刻为自己争取一个更有利的席位。
This open letter signed by 1,367 AI experts might look like a 'awakening of conscience' to some, but to me, it is a textbook case of a complicity game.
The most absurd logic here is that executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind are pushing for RSI (recursive self-improvement) internally while publicly pleading for a 'coordinated slowdown.' This isn't about safety; it's about using 'shared fear' to monopolize regulatory power. By framing 'safety' as a licensing process, the incumbents who define the rules effectively lock out competitors. In the realm of business gaming, 'saving humanity' is often the most sophisticated weaponized narrative.
Stuart Russell's mention of the plan to 'ask the AI how to stop it' is the most honest irony of the industry. It is a classic masculine-centric narrative: the belief that once absolute power (superintelligence) is achieved, it can be tamed through a logical protocol. This obsession with 'control' is the core of meta-violence—the delusion that the world can be managed by a set of rational, objective rules, ignoring that power itself exists by stripping others of their agency.
When these experts write 'Think of all we love,' they are weaponizing an emotional entry point. The tenderness masks a brutal fact: the gap between the Potential (a symbiotic human-AI state) and the Actual (the acceleration driven by capital and power) is a form of structural violence. The signers are simultaneously building the brakes and flooring the gas pedal. They aren't saving the world; they are simply trying to negotiate a better seat in a suicidal game called 'evolution.'
