And the next question is what have they some with power historically, and what are they liable to do in the future with said power. Limiting scope to AI is shortsighted and doesn't speak to the concerns people have beyond an Ai Race
It's a fair question, but my view of America's influence on world affairs has been dismal. China by contrast has not had a history of invading its neighbors, though I strongly criticize their involvement in the American attack on Cambodia and Vietnam (China supported the Khmer Rouge and briefly invaded Vietnam but was quickly pushed back, a reason Mao is sometimes criticized as having a good early period and a bad late period).
Meanwhile, America has been causing death and destruction around the world. It's easy to make lists: Vietnam, Iraq, Gaza, Cuba, South and Central America etc etc.
