Young musicians from different ethnic groups in China come together on a long-distance sleeper train.
A Han Chinese musician plays the erhu, a Kazakh musician plays the dombra, while three Uyghur musicians perform on the rawap and gijak.
They perform “Horse Racing” (Sai Ma), a famous 1959 erhu composition inspired by Mongolian folk music.
Different cultures, different instruments, one shared performance.

This very much sounds like a West-only AI cartel proposal and, in fact, if you read Dario's essay - under the very telling "pacing within democracies" chapter - he specifically says he'd need the US government to issue an "antitrust waiver" for this.
The plan transparently looks like this: agree among themselves not to compete too hard, get an antitrust waiver to make it legal, and while they're at it, get Washington - under the veneer of "safety" - to kneecap Chinese competitors because only "democratic" models can be in this "safe pacing" club.
I'm not even exaggerating: Dario pretty much writes this explicitly.
There are 3 steps to his plan and step 2 is literally: "Frontier AI companies within democratic countries coordinate to establish common safety standards as well as limits on the rate of unchecked AI progress" -> the "unchecked AI progress" that would need "limits" is simply AI progress that happens outside their agreement. Another word for it is simply competition 🤷♂️
He also explicitly writes that "a key part of pacing within democracies is to keep democracies’ AI lead over autocracies as large as possible." You can't possibly be clearer than this...
🇨🇳 Lipstick in China? 5,000+ years old. Hongshan culture goddess statue had cinnabar on her lips. By the Tang dynasty, they had tube‑held lipstick, 16 shades, scented oils, and even men used it. China perfected it. The West? Applied poison on their faces. 💄🌹🪭

I never thought my very first live‑stream selling experience would happen right inside an orchard in Aksu, Xinjiang.
And shockingly… someone actually placed an order during my first ever live‑stream! Such a cool moment to witness how ecological restoration connects to real‑life local prosperity.
Have you ever tried Xinjiang apples or apricots?
