China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday hit back at a call from the head of Anthropic for the U.S. to curb China’s artificial intelligence capabilities, which he issued as he argued for a global slowdown on AI development.
“Fearmongering, confrontation and vicious competition will only disrupt the process of global AI governance which serves no one’s interest,” spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a regular press conference on Monday.
It’s 2026 and people are still gagging on the “China bad” shaft. 😂
China doesn’t want our shit, China just wants us to stfu and buy their shit.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei in a lengthy essay published on Saturday warned that a “Chinese lead in AI would pose grave danger for the United States and the world.” He called for continuing restrictions on sales of cutting-edge AI chips and chipmaking equipment to China in order to keep the U.S.’s AI edge.
So AI is dangerous only when it’s Chinese? What a load of nonsense. Anthropic and OpenAI are just realizing they’re out-competed in the market, so they’re running to the US Government to get the competition outlawed.
AKA: The Free Market is losing so it needs interventionism, as always.
