China is in a lot of trouble. I think they are past the point of salvation. The best they can do is manage their decline until their economy matches their fundamentals.
I’m guessing our AI is somewhat less fake than China’s. Could be wrong.
When President Trump, someone I support fully, said we have to keep fighting to get the most and best AI to get ahead of China in the race, I thought: What happens if AI causes a crisis in China, tries to take over, shuts down their internet and water and electricity and threatens the Chinese?
We’ll watch from afar and be glad we weren’t number one.
Full disclosure: I already hate computers, smart phones and the tech takeover.
I tried using AI for 3 problems I was facing. All 3 AI solutions proposed by AI did not work.
I predicted months ago AI is hype similar to interne, biotech meds, color TV and so on. AI stocks are way overvalued sane as during the internet bubble 15 years ago and real-estate bubble before that. Until real earnings show up it is by definition a bubble.
China has a a generation of American educated engineers and scientists. I was researching some engineering formulae and I ended up on MIT’s website. Every discovery and research team was mostly Chinese.
You have to remember that in ccp mainland china, it’s all about the graft. Lying and theft, add in payola and bribery....
They will screw over their own and will do worse to everyone else.
this is the reason the AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI and Google and Gemini will implode.
More companies have been turning to open-source models from US and Chinese AI developers, which are less expensive and can be run locally or on private clouds.
At the fast pace of technology development AI designs are already out of date before they can be built.
