FWIW, my enthusiasm for “make America more good at AI than China” type policies comes somewhat more from considerations like “a larger US advantage lets the US spend more of a lead on safety without needing international cooperation” than considerations like “a CCP-led corrigible ASI would lead to much worse outcomes than a USG-led corrigible ASI”. Though both are substantial factors for me and I’m fairly uncertain; I would not be surprised if my ordering here switched in 6 months.
