It is a strange thing. We are not anywhere near “super intelligence” yet the priority is safety. If the Wright brothers had focused on safety, I am not sure they would have flown very far.

I am still struggling to understand “safe”. What is it we need to be kept safe from? What would happen if it is unsafe?

Former Malysia PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad wrote the following on Twitter on the Ukraine war: https://twitter.com/chedetofficial/status/162898188067786342... In particular the follow up (European's love of war) is

So it is autocratic nuclear vs democratic nuclear now? Perhaps we could instead work together to tackle climate change and seek common prosperity ...

If you look at the list of the corporate sponsors for this think tank, it is pretty obvious that tech has awoken to what the state can do to foster "innovation and advance".

Sullivan said that in later speeches - have them freeze at current levels and get a forever growing lead.

Far more Chinese leaders have spent time in the US than vice versa. Many top Chinese communists have degrees from US universities. I don't think you can find a single US politician or top civil servant with a degree from a Chinese univ

We in the west are also extremely good at projection - seeing our own aggression in whatever the Chinese are doing. The interpretation of made in China 2025, that being used as key justification for the tech war, is a good example of this.

The report with 37 out of 44 referred to in the article is from the Australian anti-China think tank ASPI. Which gets most of its money from the US defense industry. The idea of a race, a zero sum game when it comes to development, is an un

The October 7 sanctions seem to be a change to a shock and awe strategy. I am not sure that it worked for the bigger players. Both YMTC and SMIC seem to be making new technological breakthroughs still.

The US is definitely out to kill Huawei.

Oracle is prohibited from selling to Huawei - that is why they have built an alternative. And OpenGauss is based on Postgres: https://gitee.com/opengauss/openGauss-server

It will come from the rest of the world. A 10 mio people city in Africa needs just as many 5G base stations as a 10 mio people city in the US.

The story of the Moonies - anti-communist Korean cult - running the Washington Times. And the story of Falun Gong - anti-communist Chinese cult - running The Epoch Times. Are two great examples of US clandestine operations now propagandizin

The NVDIA stock has had a huge AI-related run over the past year while Apple has barely moved. This basically says that only a tiny bit of the AI will done on NVDIA hardware for the billions of Apple users. The market is not pricing that in

Yeah. It will be interesting the day that Intel starts buying SSMB EUVL from Huawei. :-D

ASML is going to remain a monopoly and whatever Chinese alternative that there may be is going to stay in China for the foreseeable future. However because the Chinese electronics industry is so big and they rely so much on imports, when th

Could if been interesting if the article included price in some manner; as I understand it the total cost pr. transistor is still lower at 28 nm lithography and will be so in the foreseeable future.

There are none in the sense that all high volume production of high-end chips uses ASML. With the possible exception of what Huawei is doing.

No. They just loose their funding and job.

The M2 is a chip designed to be in a laptop (and it is quite powerful given its low power consumption). Presumedly they have a different chip or at least completely different configuration (RAM, network, etc.) in their data centers.

Maybe. It is not really obvious how much you for the AI accellerator part of their offerings. For example the chips in iPhones are quite powerful even adjusted for price. However for some cases - like the max chip in the macbooks or the ext

I think NVIDIA has the highest hardware markup at the moment.

I thought the news of them using Apple Silicon rather than NVIDIA in their data centers was significant. Perhaps there is still hope of a relaunch of xserve; with the widespread use of Apple computers amongst developers Apple has a real cha
