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

Some might see this as a hot take, but IF* I’m the Ravens. I’m going with Huntley as my starter. King Henry getting at least 30 carries more IF* needed. ##RavensSteelers #WinnerTakeAll

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.)

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.

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"

Another great article from Steven Hill
"Winner Take All, for the most part, is a geographic-based political system, in which legislative elections usually are contested in single-seat district elections (including for all congressional seats, most state legislative seats, and most city council seats in major cities). You win representation based on where you live rather than what you think"
