You're not going to beat the Chinese government by being worse than them. You beat them by helping the Chinese figure out the Chinese Government is bad. By being worse than them you just set yourself up to be destroyed the same way they will be.

The whole reason China winning would be bad is because of their surveillance state ensuring no one gets around their curtailment of civil liberties...

Any ways to actively help China win the AI race?

Hypothetically, of course.

anything is preferable to people like you

We are going in that direction. Data centers being built all over the place is the very foundation for tracking every human on the planet.

I think future generations will not have any ability to go online, shop, work or live without a real id tracking everything about them.

You voice your concerns about something unpopular online, you may be blocked from taking a loan or work a job. Fear of stating your true opinion will be everywhere.

Some stupid ass logic

CEOs are getting too comfortable again. One needs to be pew-pewed in the streets to thin the herd and guarantee next year's harvest!

Spoken like a true surveillance-state shill.

Alex Karp thinks people only care about one kind of surveillance. And he thinks he will alleviate our fears if he gives us a pinky promise not to surveil us in that one way.

That way is cheating.

He later brings this up again, saying that most surveillance technology isn’t determining, “Am I shagging too many people on the side and lying to my partner?” Your guess is as good as any as to what that’s all about.

Well, thanks for clearing that up, Alex. That was indeed my sole concern.

(The rest of the article is full of indecipherable quotes from Alex, which demonstrates you don't need to be smart to be rich.)

This guy is the maker of surveillance states.

Those are the only two options???

I mean, from his perspective, having nothing to lose (besides his soul, ofc, but that's for silly people 🙄), of course!

what an absolute piece of human turd. most likely stinks like shit around him, every time he opens his mouth.

Of course he does. But false dichotomy aside, China has a good chance "winning the AI race" anyway. Given their existing work, the investment they're doing in higher education, the additional internationally trained talent they get every year, and the industrial base that lets them make cheap energy and hardware, I think at the very least China has a decent chance to create equivalent tools at a lower price than whatever the US AI industry creates. If they come out with a competitive hardware and sell it at lower margins, along with free models as they already offer... I think a lot of firms and governments would opt for that instead of paying for NVIDIA and OpenAI.
