Blogger: Dario's AI safety essay reads like US-style military-civil fusion in disguise

bilawalsidhu argues Dario's AI safety essay is effectively a case for US-style military-civil fusion wrapped in safetyism. Strip the word "safety," he says, and the proposals span chip bans, distillation crackdowns, a revolving door of evaluators embedded in frontier labs, and mandatory testing with state veto power. In his view this is less regulatory capture than the frontier becoming a sovereign asset — and China, he adds, is simply more honest about calling it that.
