Good piece! What the U.S. gets Wrong about China and AI

Characterizing the U.S. and China’s pursuit of AI an “arms race” is too simplistic – but this easily justifies sooo much badness (aka ignoring safety, governance, social impact, regulation) and is conveniently self-fulfilling for big tech’s viewpoints on AI.

In the U.S. AI is often pronounced as a potential superhuman intelligence that is capable of infinite benefit or existential catastrophe. U.S. commentators are projecting U.S. AI philosophy onto China.

China is not simply lagging or secretly sprinting ahead of the U.S., it is optimizing for a different set of outcomes. Chinese AI firms are not pursuing AGI as an end in itself. Many U.S. AI firms are.

China is building applied systems designed to deliver measurable economic returns with a focus on generating productivity, efficiency, and governance. https://centerforhumanetechnology.substack.com/p/china-isnt-racing-the-us-toward-the #AI #AGI #AIRace #China #USA #AIarmsrace #WinnertakeAll #Competition #AIRace #Infrastructure

My 13yo daughter told me that she wants to be a novelist. She is also studying statistics. So I gave her an economics lesson.

reincarnation of the 1940's #US #Fascist party (#AmericaFirst) did, in contrast, win the congressional majorities (Senate: 53/47, House: 220/2015.)

https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results,_2024:_U.S._Congress

This was enabled by a dualistic, unfairer #ElectoralSystem, the #US' #WinnerTakeAll system.
In contrast to a variant of the puralistic, fairer system of #ProportionalRepresentation.

Here is a comparison to the US system of #WinnerTakeAll (or #FirstPastThePost in the #UK:)

The state legislator, #MikeMcDonnell, a #Democrat turned #Republican from Omaha, #Nebraska said that he would not agree to change NE’s 32-yr tradition of awarding 3 of the state’s 5 electoral votes by congressional district to a #WinnerTakeAll system based on the statewide popular vote, bucking calls from NE’s governor & its congressional delegation to help #Trump.

Key #Nebraska #Republican Rejects #Trump’s Push to Shake Up #ElectoralMap

#MikeMcDonnell, a state senator, said he would not support an effort to change the state’s electoral system to #WinnerTakeAll, an outcome that could have cost #KamalaHarris an electoral vote.

The NE senator who #Republicans hoped would help ease Trump’s path to the WH by agreeing to change how the state allocates its #ElectoralCollege votes said on Mon that he would not do so.

#LindseyGraham visits #Nebraska on behalf of #Trump #campaign to push for #electoral #vote #Allocation #change.

The #senator from 3SouthCarolina wants the #governor to call a #specialsession to put forward #legislation that would make #Nebraska a #winnertakeall #state in the #ElectoralCollege.

The winner-take-all economy
"This is the problem w the #winnertakeall #economy. Contemporary art, like other industries, offers big financial rewards to just a few stars. For everyone else, it is nearly impossible to make a living. Becoming the Taylor Swift of the art world requires jumping thru a series of hoops arranged by elite institutions.. Even #scientific #advancement, which also has become more winner-take-all & risk-averse, has slowed"
