My experience interacting with Chinese people is that they have to constantly mind the censorship in a way that I would find abhorrent and mentally taxing if I had to live in their system. Though given there are many benefits to living in China (mostly quality of life and personal safety), I’m unconvinced that I prefer my own government all things considered.
But for the purpose of developing AGI, there’s a lot more variance in possible outcomes (higher likelihood of S-risk and benevolent singleton) from the CCP getting a lead rather than the US.
