we're about witness the realization that "here's a tech that can make us a whole bunch of money" is actually "here's tech that will establish the next hegemony." american companies may compete with chinese companies on the former. only the USG can compete with the PRC on the former.
- zarzavat 2mo agoThe USG getting involved might actually harm US AI efforts. It's not just about money. Who would want to use Claude or ChatGPT if it were run by the US government? Yet these products are essential for gathering training data.
- coliveira 2mo agoYou're kidding yourself if you don't realize that the US gov can have access to any data they want in any of these US-based products. That's why they consider so important to "win" the development race for LLMs. It is a matter of continuing to access and control data that most of the world needs, as China has already closed the door to them.
