US/EU could have done a lot for long time, but they don't care about the root problem. There is no need to pull out your selected countries as somehow needing more oversight than the West. We are the cause of this problem. The question is more, how do we ensure competition stays away from existential processes and ecological systems that we all need ?

I mean, at this point the best thing that can happen to our biosphere and atmosphere would be the inevitable AI-driven societal collapse that will be the result of unchecked capitalist crusades to make the best, fastest, biggest line go up the furthest before anyone else, safety be damned.

I used to be the one screaming at people in the transhumanism subreddits that they're delusional, now I'm screaming that they're not delusional, no, go ahead, make it smarter, faster, bigger... put the thing in charge of the stock market, it'll be great bro, I promise.
