    @ramezI was a skeptic on US / China AI safety collaboration even just months ago. But I'm starting to come around. Helen makes really good points here.
    @deanwballAgreed with Ramez. I have always believed US/China AI safety collaboration would be desirable but thought it was unlikely to happen. In the past few months, though, the ground has shifted. There is a window of opportunity.

So there is a window. But it probably will not remain open forever.
