One of the many things I dislike about the style of "make AI go well" discourse from frontier AI companies is how nationalist the whole thing has gotten.
In the 2010s, it was: "we're here to benefit all of humanity"
In the 2020s, "we're here to benefit all of 4% of humanity"
And even the Good People are buying into this frame completely😢
And they expect humanity to go along, because "come on, be a realistic adult, it's either us or Chiiina" or something like that
(And on the EU side, you get "[X] with European values", which too often seems to mean "the same stuff they're doing, but with Us instead of Them in charge")
Very big-dog-small-dog energy, morally speaking.
