If the war happens before the following metaculus question resolves, I'll use it:

If the war happens after, I'll find some other measure of AI timelines.

I'm open to changing the resolution criteria. My goal is to get a sense of which effect is larger in the case of a China war: the supply chain disruptions to the global chip industry, or the boost that would come from massive military R&D.

If there is no war, the question will resolve N/A.

It's not really possible to know the counterfactual when you're down one timeline

My understanding is war would be cataclysmic for the chip fabs.
