China is the factory of the world, and even then they're constantly told they're bad, and that they should be destroyed, etc. The difference is that they're the most industrialized and well organized country out there so they can call the bluff.

    I think the difference is that we have a very intuitive understanding that computers or cars or cameras aren't alive, while we can chat with LLMs and many people are genuinely convinced they're "alive" in some sense. It's important not to anthropomohphize LLMs so we can have a healthier relationship with them as tools, and not think of them as analogous to friendships or romantic relationships, etc.

    I hear anti-communist nonsense at work sometimes and this is what it feels like. "Commies tried so many times and it always fails!" (literally ignoring coups and regime changes, AES, that capitalism might kill us all, sex trafficking, etc)
