There is absolutely no benefit for me in American ai dominance. Higher electric and poverty will my only reward from rich fucks success.

I would rather buy AI from Chinese companies than have it be built in my state, multiple benefits from letting China win this one.

Your 2nd paragraph! I don’t think you’ve thought it through.

Nono. I did.
A. This means that my electric prices won't be impacted.
B. This also means openai/anthropic don't have power over me and a lot less aggressive in pushing antihuman agenda.
C. This means my CEO and legal team has to think 4 times before replacing me with ai.

Pure benefits

Yes but one of the most authoritarian and anti human rights states holding god knows what powers over just about everyone. Not really any better is it?

China is a lesser threat to me than domestics. China can't reach me, domestics can and do.

Yes it's 100% better to deny local ai the global dominance if we can. If they don't have our back, we owe nothing to them.
