I tentatively think that an international AGI project is feasible and desirable. [...] My favourite version of an international AGI project is loosely modelled on Intelsat, an international project that developed the first global satellite communications network.

Verified via web search. Quote is from Will MacAskill's Forethought newsletter post "An international project to develop AGI." The source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but multiple sources (Forethought research pages, MacAskill's X posts, EA Forum) confirm the exact framing that MacAskill "tentatively thinks an international AGI project is feasible and desirable" and prefers a model "loosely modelled on Intelsat." Vote "for" the statement "Create a global institute for AI, similar to CERN" is reasonable - while MacAskill prefers Intelsat over CERN specifically as a model, he clearly favors the creation of an international/global AI institute, which is the substance of the statement.
