> This argument doesn't work for countries which don't care what their citizens want, like China.
you didn’t have to use China as an example, the US clearly does not care what its citizens want as the most popular policies are never even discussed or proposed in congress
meanwhile, China destroying their housing market to decommidify it so everyone can have housing…they seem to care about their people more
another obvious example is climate change, where China is way more committed to solving it than the US. the division of the world into good guys and bad guys by a rather arbitrary definition of democracy looks so naive, even stupid. Anthropic is not a Democratic institution either, should we trust it? if this proposal for pacing the frontier is to be taken seriously, Dario should give its competitors, also international ones, the same assumption of good faith that he demands from us.
