I bet the authorities have done their due diligence before making the following statement regarding his death. He had the director titles of two key institutions that are state owned/funded. His health conditions should have been known to the authorities.

China hawks don’t seem to care. It’s silly and irrelevant according to Rubio.
Nah, look at how bright thr night sky is in that video, it's clearly gamma boosted.
They would learn from future (should be in past) that Chinese people usually means what they've said.
You're not serious. US doesn't have anywhere near the capability, especially not at weathering the counterfire.
Plenty of people have suddenly died in US as well.
Comparing a Chinese citizen to some random Iranian is like thinking US soldier walking around in pentagon are in equal risk to Ukraine soldier dallying about in Pokrovsk.
You don't get invited to a meeting with Li Qiang without Beijing already considering you important enough to assign a MSS team

I think it is highly dependent on who achieved the breakthrough first. Because while the initial breakthrough is of course critically important, so is the ability to roll things out at pace and scale.
Super advanced designs doesn’t mean much when they are stuck on the drawing board.
So, if China achieves AGI first, it’s basically GG for America. But if America gets there first, even with a 2 year head start, it would be unwise to count China out.
The CIA is generally speaking too risk averse to deploy its own officers as trigger pullers in non-permissive environments.
Of all the major intelligence agencies, only Mossad, the GRU and the RGB have a reputation for such risky operations; and even then, the GRU and RGB tend to limit targets to what they consider traitors and domestic terrorists.
If the CIA is to try something in this regard, it will almost certainly get outsourced to organized crime or an expendable 3rd party of sorts. It's been what they've preferred since the 1960s.

America will use AGI to do what they are already doing, making massive profits from software, services, and ecosystems by replacing human labor and seeking rent. In summary, America will use AGI to do wealth transfer from the have nots to the haves.
As long as the fundamental contract between government, people, and corporations remains unchanged in the West, they don't stand to benefit from AGI.
