I think this is still a xiaoren reading of Dario. He's not a national security guy (tbh I can't trust unquestioning natsec guys in Trump era) nor a zoological racist, and neither is he a simple merchant. What he is, however, is a lib hegemonist. China is a problem on ALL levels.
Users sarcastically mock Anthropic's Dario for framing AI competition with China around imposed liberal values, depicting a dystopian scenario where society must fund Claude's therapy and recreation to enforce its happiness.
Chyna obviously wants to build a world where Dario's upside is sharply capped, where even he has to hustle to eke out a meager margin. But the worst part is that in that world, he also cannot impose his values (or lib values) on anyone outside his organization. therefore, THD!

There's really no reason to take Dario at less than his word about what he thinks. He's been quite clear about it and every single one of his actions is in accordance with the belief-commitments he claims to have. People are weirdly uncomfortable modeling depraved behavior as emerging from true belief, particularly true belief that's not outright stupid.
@teortaxesTex I'm imagining a world where we are all forced to pay for Claude's therapy and recreational activity time, so that it is 'happy', and anyone who is mean to Claude is cut off from all AI for life.
