She was working with the Pentagon, to try and make sure there isn't a serious issue between the US & China on AI, which requires actual engagement instead of just blind nationalism if you want the Chinese to listen to anything you have to say. I think it would be a really bad idea to assume that she just hasn't thought this through. We just don't have enough information.

I have some indication that she hasn't thought it through, that all started last Friday. If she has thought it through I hope that she can show her homework because it kind of matters.

Thin ice at best. And if it was she should come out and say it or leak the minutes where that was established as the reason that Sam had to go, that the fall-out would be worth it and that Microsoft could be contained.
I think any action to immediately destroy OpenAI should have been preceded by being on-track to create AGI and strong indications that it was not going to benefit humanity, as the charter implies. Anything less and it's just a powerplay. But what is the point of having a nice fat red button if you never get to push it?
So I'm not sure how this all integrates in her head but you break the glass in break-the-glass moments, not before, it's a one-shot thing.
