Two points about AI from a very much non-expert (me):
- Current western attempts look impressive but are a bit shit and are probably doomed to fail for as long as they can’t filter out liberalism and memes. It’s going to be contradictions of capitalism and it’s ideology on a speedrun.
- China has the data of up to 1.4 or more billion people all under one roof. And as they’re Marxists, they can ensure that the developed AI better correlates to reality and it’s used productively rather than to cheat on tests (that’s going to end up badly) and to sack employees because the computer (incorrectly) said so.
Which is to say the west is doubly fucked and AI won’t save it.
