So what, what is the US gonna do if China gets ahead? And vice versa?
You can't nuke China without ending the world. And China can't nuke the US. It has always been this way for 50 years.
The only solution to internal trouble is the eradication of capitalism. That is a good thing we all should work towards anyway in human evolution.
What did the government do during Covid Lockdowns? Handed out cash left and right. People remember. The next sucessfull political party will demand UBI then.

That’s the reason AI is more dangerous. Your own argument for AI is also the argument why it’s more dangerous. Mutually assured destruction has kept humanity safe. The other guy knows they can’t press the button without killing themselves as well. ASI could kill us all without a second thought if not aligned properly.

You're living in a dream world if you don't think the US would act to prevent China from exploiting an AGI against them. Which it would, if it had one. (Just like the USA would, if it had one).
UBI? Please. Never gonna happen. Listen to the GOP nutjobs whine about "communism" in the USA now, for basic shit like social security and medicare. They would have aneurysms if someone was legit pushing UBI.

And what would the US gonna do about it?
You can't invade China and you can't nuke China without ending the world. China is pretty safe. China can nuke every city in the US.
