Thank you for posting, the insight and having personal reference point. I almost glazed past this article and came to see the replies.

We also know China is not close to catching up. Chinese companies own only an estimated 5 percent of the world’s AI computing capacity — a fraction of what U.S. firms control. Much of Chinese AI firm innovation has come from “distillation” of more powerful U.S. models, meaning they advance primarily at the pace of U.S. companies. If we slow down, they are likely to slow down.

This is super relevant and TIL, the whole not slowing down because China will surpass or catch up is a massive red herring, if this is true.

Fuck all the oligarchs and techbros. None of this is good news for humanity.
