Anthropic intends to rule humanity with its ASI. Perhaps this is the optimal outcome, as there are many problems AI could fix that it wouldn't be able to as efficiently without eliminating the human bottlenecks which caused those issues, but I fear the more financially powerful it gets, the fewer checks there will be on any misalignment.

As opposed to the CCP, which is essentially what the Chinese model companies map to, who are only interested in freedom and liberty for humanity right?

If they release weights, then no, it's not concentrating power and control in a single company like the vision of Anthropic and OpenAI.

I don't think being ruled by ASI is by default safe whether it's Chinese or American.
