One of the most biased claims IMO in AI 2027 is that a huge portion of the geopolitical and existential risk argument is hinged on the notion that China just steals the US frontier weights.

Biased how? China has a long history of corporate espionage.

Everyone knows the Chinese are capable of whatever they put their minds to. But stealing IP to skip some steps is part of the system.

Look what's coming out of China, they are catching up on performance and surpassing the US in efficiency. They're on a different level when it comes to open releases of weights.

I don't, to me the entire premise is a bit flawed at it's core (ASI), and I read it like bad science fiction with China playing the bad guy just a narrative crux so we get to the acceleration timeline and warring nation states.

		Of course it's a spectrum that all advanced countries exist on, but if you think China and the US are on the same end of the spectrum, that's strange.

What country is supposed to be counterexample here, with zero history of corporate espionnage?

That's what a lot of American companies say.

Wait until you hear about Amazon's practices.
