Re: shooting them down, I think there are a lot of people out there that consider the US a bigger threat than China. Maybe they're right, I don't know. But I do know that as an American, I'm not looking forward to finding out.

And then there are probably people who are more politically neutral who think Anthropic is using China as an excuse to crush competition. Which could also be true.

But fundamentally, if this technology is so dangerous, why does anyone get to control it?
