China's AI Competitiveness and Global Impact

What I like about this is that we have real competitors.

What I don't like about it is China is very focused in broad diffusion of this technology globally, and it's all open source, which means it's largely uncontrolled and not controlled in any way by us.

So I think a fair statement is a year ago, I said I thought that they were one to two years behind.

And it looks like they've caught up enough that the most recent analysis is China's within six months, which is a nanosecond, right, in our world.

So it gives you a sense of how committed China is to the AI leadership position, and they're not going to stop.

If it makes you feel any better, in order to do this, you have to have a whole country of, you know, engineers, scientists, nerds, money, hardware, and so forth.

There are not going to be many countries that can do this on their own.

But China's clearly one.

America's another one with our allies, of course.

Maybe there'll be a third or fourth.
