I'm assuming you're the Edward Zitron in the comments of that article?

Absolute joke of an answer to the DeepSeek question, it's shameful that Hard Fork gets these interviews, especially considering Casey Newton's boyfriend works at Anthropic (this to be clear is called out at the top of the episode, but hey, why not swap Casey out for this one? Or ask questions?)
casey newton Got it. So let me ask the competition question that brings us into safety. You recently wrote a really interesting post about deep seek, sort of at the height of DeepSeek mania. And you were arguing, in part, that the cost reductions that they had figured out were basically in line with what — they were basically in line with how costs had already been falling. But you also said that DeepSeek should be a wake up call, because it showed that China is keeping pace with frontier labs in a way that the country hadn’t been up until now. So why is that notable to you, and what do you think we ought to do about it? dario amodei Yeah. So I think this is less about commercial competition. I worry less about DeepSeek from a commercial competition perspective. I worry more about them from a national competition and national security perspective. I think where I’m coming from here is we look at the state of the world and we have these autocracies like China and Russia. And I’ve always worried — I’ve worried maybe for a decade that AI could be an engine of autocracy. If you think about repressive governments, the limits to how repressive they can be are generally set by what they can get their enforcers, their human enforcers to do. But if their enforcers are no longer human, that starts painting some very dark possibilities. And so this is an area that I’m, therefore, very concerned about, where I want to make sure that liberal democracies have enough leverage and enough advantage in the technology that they can prevent some of these abuses from happening, and kind of also prevent our adversaries from putting us in a bad position with respect to the rest of the world or even threatening our security. There’s this kind of, I think, weird and awkward feature that it’s companies in the US that are building this. It’s companies in China that are building this. But we shouldn’t be naive. Whatever the intention of those companies, particularly in Chin…

Yugi is supposed to be like 5 feet tall. That makes Kaiba 9 feet to 10 feet tall, a true giant of a man.
