He argues that AI anxiety is a low-agency response to an unstoppable shift, warning that the real risk isn’t the technology itself, it’s the choice to ignore it. Bill pulls back the curtain on the \"safety\" movement, questioning why the leading AI giants are suddenly the loudest voices calling for regulation. He explores whether this fear-mongering is a calculated move to invite state intervention, potentially allowing a handful of companies to write the rules and lock in a permanent monopoly. Bill also reframes the US-China AI race as an \"infinite game,\" questioning if America’s proprietary approach is actually prepared for the scale of China’s open-source strategy.
