@Bladtophateater @cremieuxrecueil What if the Americans make up 51% of the electorate? Isn’t that democracy?

@thomasoncrypto @TheStalwart “Hey Anthropic/OpenAI/Google. We’re looking to start a lab in London with ICL, wanna partner with them?”

“Hey DeepSeek/Moonshot. We’re looking to start a lab in Oxfordshire with Oxford University, wanna partner with them?”

@thomasoncrypto @TheStalwart The UK is in such an enviable position with respect to AI but we are governed by career politicians, lawyers, and economists.

The Chinese love us. The Americans love us. We have several world class universities. These three things could make us an easy 3rd place.

@iamgingertrash In hindsight, the firewall was actually one of the best Chinese policies.

The cultural export of the American internet is now tearing Europe apart. We should’ve done the same.

@nicochristie They’re pumping out papers at the forefront of applied maths and stats like crazy, and they’re generally good papers. There is no coming back from this. This is endemic for the United States. The only response is to ban/regulate and slowly shrink away. Incredible work from China.

@nicochristie My dissertation was about the application of probability theory on large real world systems, and 90% of the papers I read were Chinese. All very high quality.

I kept telling people how insane the Chinese were now and I was laughed at.

@BlancheMinerva Creating open source code is a revolutionary act, unironically.

@quantian1 Huawei tau scaling is a modern example.

>Chinese don’t have access to Western tech.
>start thinking about the problem differently.
>come up with heuristic solutions that mimics the Western tech instead of just throwing money at it.

Very “superpower” of them.

@quantian1 They have lived in denial for decades. Now that there is explicit evidence they’re saying it’s stolen or they’re lying.

I told people years ago that the little advancements they made were existential, because they show genuine innovation, not just “more money = better”.

@signulll Many are not ready for this conversation, but China is the result of true democracy, America the result of universal suffrage.

@el_palpitero @codejake @signulll @grok This is a really good comment. Came here to say the same thing but couldn’t word it better. Wanted to add that AI capex would’ve wiped Apple’s cash reserves and that this post in particular is because China released Kimi3, near parity with leading US models but open source.

@isitallart @souljagoyteller No doubt brexit had a massive negative effect, but we’ve seen over 2 million net migrants since the end of covid. Where are the benefits? Why has my housing got more expensive? Houses didn’t disappear because we left the EU.

(Hint: it’s because market economics holds)

@313Greengiant @IsabellaMWeber The Chinese aren’t competing on data centres, yet more people use their AI.

They’re either just magnitudes better at this than us or data centres are irrelevant.

The data centres are a techbro psy op to track everything you do. Like Palantir, like Flock, like Intel ME.

@RockBoat4 @leevalueroach Even bigger problem: even if you tariff’ed them, every single industry would take a massive hit

This isn’t to even mention the lawsuits…
