This could potentially trigger an AI arms race between the US and China. The standard has been set, lets see what China responds with. Either way, it will accelerate the arrival of ASI, which in my opinion is probably a good thing.
It will be similar to the space race between Soviet Union and US. And just like Soviet Union going broke and collapsing, China too will go even more broke and collapse.
The arms race is already running, I think this showdown is inevitable so we should get our asses moving
Unless we air strike the data centers, there is no way to control China’s progress
