Koreans can become talented AI engineers.
The DPRK has a history of simply abducting people with the talents that the DPRK requires. A plausible (although unlikely) scenario is that the DPRK abducts a handful of AI experts and forces them to train Koreans in AI.
Alternatives are for Koreans to learn abroad or for Koreans to learn online.

- garbagetime 6y agoThe DPRK doesn't have to compete for tech talent in the same way most countries do, because other states probably won't be able to poach tech talent away from the DPRK. And how much talent would the DPRK really need to do impactful work with GPT-3 (assuming that it really can be used for be used for nefarious purposes)?
