I suppose I'd rather the US wins AI as opposed to, say, China

If you're an US citizen, I would understand why. If you're from elsewhere, looking at how both countries deal with foreign policies, perhaps the answer requires some serious reflection.

I'm from the EU.

I'd rather China wins this. By a landslide.

I cant wait for the EU finally turns its back on the US and start integrating seriously with China.

After showing us that these people are willing to vote for Trump twice? Having people like Peter Thiel over there who thinks daemons exist? With Elon Musk having all social security numbers and no one cares about that? Or his blant disruption of democracy? In china people disappear, true, but at least with China you know what you get. With USA its schizophrenia every 4 years and it wouldnt matter to me if suddenly my…

I assure you, daemons do exist. They've possessed my linux server.

Don't mean to make Americans sad but "the US" doesn't win AI, a few oligarchs win AI (if US companies end up winning).

The question is not US v China, it's Peter Thiel and Elon Musk vs literally anything else (that would be clearly better).

I don't want any one particular country, or organization, to "win" AI. I want AI capabilities to remain diffuse and spread out, so that everybody has access to approximately equal levels of AI. If anything, you might say that I want "Open Source to win AI".

AI society is going to be: - you, chained on your sofa, watching ads "tailored-made by AI for you" - weaponized robots roaming the streets to ensure everyone is "at work" and not "at leisure activities" - "no need to vote", of course, because "AI already knows what's good for you"...
