I find it hard to believe that this wasn't a serious consideration until recently.

It was a serious consideration, and almost everyone around here laughed at it.

		There valid reasons people laugh at it though. Kinda the same reason serious people laugh when you tell them the gun has digital failsafe.

It became a very serious consideration for Anthropic this year, with the advance of Chinese AI.

		That’s a bit unfair, Dario Amodei has written in this topic a lot since around mid 2010s IIRC, Anthropic too published a good amount of stuff on similar topics. I don’t think the lack of consideration is really the issue here. It’s more a question of incentives
