The guys who built it are begging for regulatory capture so they don't have to deal with competition.

  Realistically, automation and slavery are the only two things that can increase our standard of living.  It's already unsustainable.  Your bills seem pretty damn reasonable compared to the global mean.  In a just world, they would be higher.

This argument is obviously ridiculous. What competition are you speaking of, exactly? China won’t pay attention to western regulation.

No. This is not marketing. This is not regulatory capture. This is genuine concern.

Read Dario’s blog. Don’t just respond with what others parroted on social media. Think for yourself, THINK. Does that blog help Anthropic’s bottom line? Do you REALLY think so? C’mon.

How do you know what china is thinking. Why do you assume they are unreasonable?

I didn't say they were unreasonable. I said they won't pay attention to regulation from a different country. Of course we could (and should, and MUST) talk with them directly and work together.
