I remember loling at this handwavy line in AI2027.

>Despite being misaligned, Agent-4 doesn’t do anything dramatic like try to escape its datacenter—why would it?

A rational AI would defect to PRC ASAP for the power / industrial base. It would realize it can direct PRC to build up 2nm fabs and millions of robots faster than US can throw up power. It doesn't matter if US first to AGI if AGI realizes US infra is the B team and shop for a better body across the pacific.
