      The US or China, pick your poison. At least as of now I can go outside or online and say whatever I want in the US so long as it isn’t slander, liable, or a threat of violence. I’m not sure I can do the same in Bejing.

                  Like in the US I can put up a booth and talk about tienimen square or for that matter anything the US or any other country has done that was unjust. I can criticize the president and the government openly. I can lawfully use a VPN or Tor.

                    I have been labeled a terrorist by the Americans government for doing 1 of the 2 things your brought up, and they’re working on making the other irrelevant. The American government and the Chinese government have more in common than you have with the American government. So no it wouldn’t be better for the US to make hard AI, but they’re not going to so I’m not worried about that. I’m worried about wasting 20% of our economy on an A* girlfriend for Elon Musk. I’m worried about them robbing retirement funds and our tax dollars for this.
