I really wonder what "losing the AI race" (typically meaning USA vs China) is supposed to indicate.
They have a better LLM or something......and then what? A rogue chatbot takes over the world or something?
We're like two plus years into being a few months away from LLMs taking every office jobs, and I'm still at a total loss as to where this is all supposed to go or what I'm even supposed to be sold on.
The real high-school-sophomore smelling thing, which you'd miss through all the purple prose about the Manhattan Project, is "open research is bad and proves it's fake bunko crap...that the Chinese are stealing(!?)"
I've been here for 15 years and am shuddering to think there are commentators here who would start selling you "open is bad" the instant they had a soapbox to pound their chest on.
So someone is lying somewhere, and the end result is pumping stock prices.
It's bizarre to flatten it to "they're giving it away because it's worthless but they're lying and saying its worth something so their stock goes higher", even setting aside the questionable premises that relies on.
