If this is really the risk, then we should approach LLMs like atomic bombs: the US should reach out to other nations so they all agree on no one developing any more AI models. That's the only way you could possibly convince another party to stop. The US should set the example, not conveniently keep all the spoils.

A complete failure at actually preventing non-proliferation.

Uh, that is not how the nuclear race went. The winners kept developing theirs and stopped everyone else by the threat of said weapons. The AI race is going the exact same way, just with China instead of USSR this time.
Maybe my phrasing was confusing. I didn't mean that that was what happened, but the ideal approach to stop atomic bombs (at least in my view).
Experts say Iran is 6 weeks away from making Claude 2
unfortunately, the US has incentivized the opposite behavior for atomic bombs and we are seeing moves towards greater proliferation

I would not be surprised if the same incentives are created by the US for Ai
