Because the US is a democracy and there is blowback for pissing off the public. So allocating hundred of billions of taxpayer money to AI would be enormously unpopular. We have private markets that can spend their money however they chose.

You're attacking the strawman of "China made VC's invest in AI". That didn't happen nor was it claimed. China is being opportunistic here.

A legitimate legal system with judges who have no obligation to anyone or anything besides the constitution first, and laws second.

I don't really buy that idea, but like the one black guy at the Country Line Dance, you get the strong vibe you are not in the right place, and kind of just want to leave, regardless of how people are upfront treating you.

Selling Russia weapons to help kill Ukrainians, buying Russian oil/gas to help kill Ukrainians. But free AI models or something, right?

Soft power primarily (see my original comment),and less data for western labs to train on, less money for western labs to have. The state can use their AI as a tool to bolster their standing, which is working well. Chinese AI labs don'

There are not many reasons for climate change, it is in fact just humans. That should be obvious.

While true, his wealth is 99% speculative. Elon has a closed box that he has successfully convinced a lot of people that there is a lot of money inside, and sold them small stakes in the contents, and promised year after year for 10+ years

If you listen to Elon speak, and you don't have much technical knowledge, or even maybe have some mild technical knowledge, Elon really sounds like he knows what he is doing and has very high confidence he can execute it. He can very

Trump is a populist doing populist things, including attacking the intellectuals. Conservatives have been basically purged from academia over the last 30 years, which frankly was a pretty dumb "victory" to celebrate, because now t

If Chinese LLMs are successfully making people in the west defend China, then I think we have all the evidence we need to explain why they are giving away their models. The next step of course will be to get people using that ungodly cheap

There is a tradeoff where as factual accuracy increases, creativity decreases, and the model becomes more "rigid" and less general. Unfortunately it seems that creativity is a good quality for reasoning and ultimately problem solv

Sure, but good luck finding serious top tier AI researchers who are willing to work for $80k/yr when the US is offering them upwards of $1M/yr.

No greed will be rewarded. If European consumers don't like the end AI models that are produced, they can forgo buying them and the investors can watch their fortress burn. For the EU taxpayer, nothing was gained and nothing was lost.

No, we don't need any slavery. The employees at these AI companies will almost certainly out earn most if not all other local white collar workers, while also getting top tier benefits. They can also quit at any time if they don't

If Europe is serious about getting home grown AI fast, three simple steps: 1. Huge tax incentives, let the companies get grossly wealthy while paying minimal taxes. Minimum 10 years with clauses protecting "retribution" taxes ther

Europe is a great place to live if you just want to float through life. The US is a great place to live if you have talent, want to work, and want to reap the rewards.

Much fewer people in Europe are convinced maxxing anything besides work/life/life balance and generous social support are a benefit. All the stuff that doesn't help an economy grow or pay for the future.

I mean, here you are agreeing that Israel needs to be stopped by force. An army assembled to go in and kill Israeli soldiers until Palestine is free. See how quick that "morality" flies out the window? Diplomacy and guns, that&#x2

Nothing I said has any bearing on morality or correctness. It's also not my logic anymore than the wind stoking a forest fire is my logic. It's just shitty thing that is true. On the global stage, where there is no higher power to

Yes, that is correct. Land ownership is determined by your ability to defend it. If you can get a coalition to take down Israel, the land is yours to do whatever you want with it. That is how it works, if you want land, have big guns or big
