Look at how we regulate nuclear weaponry. Consider how much more widespread it would be if we hadn't.

Nuclear weaponry is effectively regulated because the nuclear powers have agreed that nobody else should be allowed to have the capability.

So this is basically suggesting that USA and China should work together to ensure that they are the only ones allowed to develop and maintain capable AI. And between the two of them they can carve up and techno-colonize the rest of the world.

Nuclear powers also gave security guarantees that e.g. convinced Ukraine to give up its Soviet stockpile. We're almost certainly entering a new regime of proliferation due to the breakdown of that system.
