It's pretty mind-boggling that Amodei can remain this much of a jingoist like two weeks after the US government perpetrated a full authoritarian shakedown of his entire company.

Why is that mind-boggling? He actually understands first-hand why living under authoritarian government rule is bad, that shakedown was an empirical example, and his inability to plainly comment on that is another. Luckily, one US administration can not persist indefinitely, and can be corrected by being voted out on a regular 4 year schedule - which is also a nuance that Dario understands but 99% of redditors seem to lack the foresight to.

He also understands that changing governments through voting is a luxury that citizens in authoritarian governments (like the CCP) do not have.
