They say that he who creates AGI will control the entire world. I wouldn't want America to dominate earth with their misaligned AI.

Not really interested in seeing another wall of links to further links. Authoritarianism is bad.

You say you don’t like authoritarianism and that China is authoritarian, but you haven’t defined what authoritarianism is or why you don’t like it or why China is it. You prefer the US’s dictatorship of the bourgeoisie (which research shows to be an oligarchy and hardly democratic at all) over China’s dictatorship of the proletariat, which practices democratic centralism.

Are you opposed to authoritarianism?

Asking so I can understand whether the Nazis would get a pass under your beliefs.

I don't like it when anybody, including Nazis, try to whitewash their actual agenda by putting dishonest labels on top of what they really do.
