Not much of a monopoly when they are being outcompeted by open source models done by companies with a fraction of OpenAIs resources. Sure - a government sanctioned monopoly might have been their fantasy but now it is getting obvious it is n

OpenAi toppled as LLM leader by an open source / open weight company? OpenAi has much more capital and compute than any of its competitors (especially deepseek); if that was to happen it would demonstrate that capital and compute doesn

If that is the case then this paper should be redacted.

Rational in terms of money risk/reward. What can be sold of is TikTok international - not just the US part - in a fair market - say sold via an IPO - that would be worth hundreds of billions. It is simply a better deal to exit the US m

My guess is that TikTok is about to get the Huawei treatment. Like it happened to Huawei, the US State Department will campaign against it in various foreign countries and seek a similar ban. And like it happened to Meng Wanzhou, the US wil

That is a very naive take. Banning TikTok will make US big tech (Google and Meta) much more powerful and much harder for politicians to regulate.

Yes. Plenty of Teslas on the street in China but no Chinese cars on the street in the US. Lets see what the next chapter is; as you said reciprocity is key ...

No. As the law is, tiktok will become inaccessible in the US both as an app and as a web app.

The potential buyers mentioned in this article are not serious players. None of them are capable of raising the sums required to buy TikTok even in a distressed situation. As it is now the most rational thing for bytedance is to leave the U

Isn’t the chips act $250B? I suppose it the depends on how you count and compensate for price level.

Keeping in the war theme; you see "war rhetorics" from US policy makers - in particular on the republican side (for extreme examples see Tom Cotton or Peter Navarro) but also in key figures from the Biden admin - for example Jake

They get subsidies, maybe not at the Chips act scale, but sizeable. Possibly indirectly via subsidies to Huawei who then can pay top dollar for SMICs 7nm. Besides their core business is profitable and they are publicly traded in Hong Kong.

I am surely not the only one calling it a "war". I mean there is very popular and influential book out there called "Chip War" for starters ...

It is part industrial policy and it is part economic war. The US hurts Chinese companies, whether it be Huawei or some crane manufacturer, with their export controls and national security "concerns". At the end of this, decades fr

It would be interesting to see what "standard benchmark computation" was used and what its implementation would like in a traditional computer language. Does anyone know?

As phones look today and as how they are used, I think we have reached peak usability at around iPhone X. Afterwards - the additional computing, camera, network, form factor that have come with iPhone up to 16 - have provided very little ad

Oh dear. The writer of this article really wants "AI" to be the new nuclear bomb and have the whole world locked in a state of cold war 2.0 with China in the role of a more technological advanced and slightly mysterious soviet uni

It is strategically important for the US to be ahead in technology; however Intel is no longer ahead and is not really the strategic asset it used to be.

Gelsinger seemed well connected to Washington / the democratic administration in particular and the CHIPS act seemed to be designed to save/bail out Intel. Perhaps this is a fall out from the election.

Why single TikTok out? Was there more campaigning that EU doesn't like on TikTok compared to Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Twitter? Does Facebook et all promote / filter political contents different from TikTok?

Other governments have other subjects they consider sensitive. For example questions about holocaust / holocaust denying. I get the free speech argument and I think prohibiting certain subjects makes a LLM more stupid - but for most ap

If there is a strategy laid down by the Chinese government, it is to turn LLMs into commodities (rather than having them monopolized by a few (US) firms) and have the value add sitting somewhere in the application of LLMs (say LLMs integrat
