I wonder if most people arguing about this understand that the whole magical godlike AI thing is basically the religious view of an odd social cult and not what the vast majority of actual people who work on AI believe?

There's no great answer here, but regardless of what Anthropic does, others including China will continue advancing. I suspect the best defense against rogue artificial super intelligence will ultimately be an even better AI.
