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.
