- godelski 6mo ago> the fact the Chinese populace is much more pro-AI than the West. Is it? Honest question. Frankly the answer smells off. Similar to thinking US sentiment about AI is accurately reflected by people in Silicon Valley. Feels like we're getting biased views.

- HWR_14 6mo agoNot exactly an unbiased information source.
- SpicyLemonZest 6mo agoComparative polling suggests that the answer is yes (https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/11/19/trust-in-ai-far-higher-in-china-than-west-poll-shows https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/11/19/trust-in-ai-far...), although I can imagine reasonable arguments for why that data might not be trustworthy.
- arjie 6mo agoI just returned from a trip to Taiwan where my wife's family works frequently in China (they run an import/export business) and they asked me to demonstrate some AI and OpenClaw stuff because they said everyone they know in China is using a Clawbot. There is a lot of enthusiasm there for this stuff.
- kibwen 6mo agoI suspect that models that are so hamfistedly censored to blackhole verboten topics are going to exhibit very curious emergent behavior relating to their potential thoughtcrime. I see no reason to believe they would be "harder to poison".

- autoexec 6mo agoI'd bet that they'll be just as vulnerable, but that fewer Chinese people will try to research/attack them since they don't want to end up executed, imprisoned, or unable to participate in society after their social credit score bottoms out. The problems will be there, but you'll be less likely to hear about them and discovery will be limited.
