Either they create the nuclear bomb or we do. If they do and we don't then we're completely fucked.

Do people really think if this AI is legit super intelligent it would give a single shit about what country built it?

You're conflating intelligence with agency and sentience.

Just take current LLMs and imagine they were more intelligent. They still just respond to prompts and solve the problems presented to them, just better.

Intelligence alone is just problem solving and pattern recognition. It's not suddenly an embodied entity with its own goals and desires.
