Yeah, there's nothing about the current America I want to "win" AI; nor the people leading it.
I'm sure China has the same type of leadership, but they've yet to threaten to nuke a whole civilization.

I'd rather China wins this. By a landslide.
I cant wait for the EU finally turns its back on the US and start integrating seriously with China.
