    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.

            It actually indicates just how much of a sociopath he is, because we’re I that wealthy I’d sure as hell shut the fuck up and enjoy life.

              There’s research that shows the process of accumulating so much wealth both selects and creates sociopaths. This is why they’re very overrepresented in the upper class. Sure, not all of them are. Maybe you’d be the exception. I also think I’d be the exception but I’m not too confident. :D

    I mean, from his perspective, having nothing to lose (besides his soul, ofc, but that’s for silly people 🙄), of course!

    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…

      …what?

      LLMs are AI. What is this?

      I am asking seriously. Can someone explain the context of this nonsense?

      Are we really entering a luddite phase again?

        No they’re not. They’re fancy autocomplete. Statistics engines. Extremely more expensive but not particularly more capable Markov chains.

        Them being marketed as AI doesn’t make them AI, it just makes them a scam.

          The thousands of researchers researching it all conspired together, naming it wrong, just to fool you, the one true expert for AI!

          Or its just real AI.

    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 biggest conspiracy theory of my lifetime was the government was intercepting all communication and it was proven completely true.
