Interesting thesis.

But regardless of the moral implications, will this improve America’s position on the global stage or further undermine it?

Only if you think that crime will somehow improve America. My opinion is that this is leading to its collapse, no matter how "powerful" they look.

Attempting to kneecap the breakout front runner of the major American AI companies to ensure the shittier, politically compliant one wins in the short term? Gee I wonder.

Anthropic is great but not the undisputed front runner.

I can also interpret this as Sam and the administration supporting accelerationism while Dario is more measured and wishes to slow things down.

For better or worse, outright nationalization of military related companies is common on a global scale. I plan to do my best to ensure this is a domestic catastrophe, and I hope we'll succeed, but I don't expect other countries to care much about varying levels of regime alignment between two billionaire American defense contractors.
