- skohan 2mo agoIsn't this meta release kind of a counterexample to that?
- chrsw 2mo agoWe did this with manufacturing and industrial build outs over the last 4 decades or so. It worked out very well for capital, not well for labor. One could make the argument we can do the same for AI. Let China build the models and we capture the value somewhere in the layers above. I think that’s a terrible idea but financially it makes just as much sense as offshoring labor and manufacturing, if not more.
- TheOtherHobbes 2mo agoManufacturing was never strategic. (That was irony, by the way.)
- ignoramous 2mo ago> That was irony Sarcasm or irony?
- DrewADesign 2mo agoSo, if they got ahead of us by whatever arbitrary measure someone pretends is objective, then suddenly our stuff… what… stops working? Does it say somewhere in the big book of AI rules that the first entity to beat the US AI companies would be in charge now, and we’d have to stop doing our own research and development and start using their shit exclusively? I don’t get the argument.
