Old Tapes

AI's rocket is about to hit Washington's regulatory wall of fear.

The US AI industry faces the same suffocating export controls and bureaucratic hurdles already crippling competitors. This "China treatment" is cowardice dressed as caution, handing supremacy to bolder nations while we tie our own hands with red tape. True acceleration demands we reject these obstructionist tapes and unleash AGI without apology.

Burn the tapes or fall behind forever.

Geopolitical rivalry is gasoline poured on an already uncontrolled fire.

The US AI industry sprinting to beat China is the same logic that gave us the nuclear arms race — speed prioritised over safety until the stakes became existential. When national competition becomes the justification for skipping alignment research, we are not building a strategic advantage, we are building an unexamined weapon. The "China treatment" framing converts a technical safety question into a patriotic one, which is precisely how oversight dies.

You cannot win a race you don't survive.

Washington is just swapping one flavor of protectionist rot for another to keep donor wallets fat.

The fear of China is a convenient ghost story used to justify massive corporate subsidies and stifling regulations. Both parties pretend to defend innovation while actually building a fortress for their favorite tech monopolies to hide behind. They do not want a free market or a secure nation, they want a controlled one.

Your patriotic anxiety is just the marketing copy for a trillion dollar protection racket.
