    I’d rather be a free and open society than win any kind of industrial race.

    Aliens (even illegal ones) are preferable to an asteroid strike, too.

    Too bad they aren’t mutually exclusive.

    I can’t wait to see this guy hanging by his left nut while people take shots at him like a piñata.

    Of course he does. But false dichotomy aside, China has a good chance “winning the AI race” anyway. Given their existing work, the investment they’re doing in higher education, the additional internationally trained talent they get every year, and the industrial base that lets them make cheap energy and hardware, I think at the very least China has a decent chance to create equivalent tools at a lower price than whatever the US AI industry creates. If they come out with a competitive hardware and sell it at lower margins, along with free models as they already offer… I think a lot of firms and governments would opt for that instead of paying for NVIDIA and OpenAI.

    The what race? No one has been working on AI for a while… if he means LLMs and similar generative models there’s only the race to see how long it takes for the models to be so poisoned by being trained on their own slop that they no longer can produce the illusion of giving useful results (seems like the current generation is almost there, already giving diminishing results), and the race to extract as much money as possible from the economy before the first one ends and the bubble pops…

    Why can’t we win the AI race and still not have a surveillance state? Those don’t seem like they have to be linked…

    Look at this unfuckable loser. He’s like if someone glued Steve Bannon’s pubes to Steven Miller’s head. “Let us destroy all freedom in the USA so China doesn’t win the race to economically out-compete the USA” is as bullshit a justification as there has ever been for anything in the history of everything.
