China understands there is a real risk of the US gaining an absolute advantage in A[G]I development. It shouldn't surprise anyone that they will use all kinds of 'greyzone methods' to bridge this gap.

- Dr_Birdbrain 3y agoSkimming through it I was confused. - No homegrown semiconductor industry: isn’t the recent hand-wringing over the new Huawei chips proof of the opposite? - No interest in training LLMs? Is that true? I thought Baidu was already on it? In fact at every major AI conferences, Chinese R&D groups like Baidu and Ant group are major participants (and sponsors). I am talking about conferences like NeurIPS and AAAI, which both happened in the past few months. EDIT: the comments of that article are also confused by that article, lol. Is there a joke that is going over our collective heads?
- CuriouslyC 3y agoThey're major participants and sponsors because they're definitely behind, and they're trying to rectify that.
- Twirrim 3y agoThere's also a lot of research papers in AI coming out of Chinese universities.
- rayval 3y agoAlso I have seen some papers on Arxiv from FAANG companies that have a half-dozen or more co-authors, and almost all of those authors have Chinese names.
