Why do we look at these as a race? There is nothing to win. Nobody won space, or nukes, and they won’t win AI. You might get there first, but your competitor will get there soon after regardless. Embrace it.

We win. The companies think they'll "win", and I'm fine letting them. The race is good for us.

There is no us and them!

But them, they do not think the same.

Huh? Things would certainly have turned out very differently if Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan had won the nuke race.
