In a recent newsletter from Robin Sloan (sci-fi writer), he shares what he's heard from a few engineers that work in China:
"The Chinese government is building an OS and, in the not-too-distant future, the world will be split: those nations that adopt it, and those that don’t. This OS isn’t just software – it’s also access to Chinese capital, investments in infrastructure, and more – but it is ALSO software, a very capable suite, and it includes the world’s best facial recognition software. The sales force is out there now, signing up clients. This is happening."
Anyone else heard more details on this?
- kaushikktiwari 7y agomost of the amazing facial recognition tech is actually israeli--and turns out the biggest buyers of military foreign tech tend to be competitors of china, so not sure how much legs this OS idea has, unless you mean small eastern european republics signing up
- kaushikktiwari 7y agostill love the OS idea--it found its home on a HN thread. The US has been selling the word its OS for the most of the last century, some would say about time another one showed up
