It's also deeply damaging to the western ego, especially one rooted in American exceptionalism.
But also one those of us actually working on foundational AI saw coming a mile away when most of the top research of late has been happening in Chinese labs, not American or European ones.
Can't wait to see what this boneheaded President's tarrif on TSMC does to this situation.
- hsuduebc2 2y agoWell to be honest most of this on start came from US so the general surprise is understendable. But of course it would be foolish and arrogant assume that for whole progress forever. I don't understand the rage. This is good for everyone. Competition is what drives innovation and they even open sourced it! If you want to outdo them, learn from them. Don't just try to cry louder, it's embarrassing for everyone.

Genuinely curious as this would be fatal to the US economy. Imagine working 2 years to get out from Covid chip shortages only to hammer progress down with tariffs.

Hopefully it's just posturing, but either way it's utterly asinine yet about par for the course what I would have expected from this administration.
