Marcus Warns Trump's Policies Undermine US AI Lead, Boost Sovereign AI

@GaryMarcus Imagine his surprise when, having beaten the living shit out of Anthropic, he turns around and sees OpenAI floating face down in a puddle of its own making.

What is a bigger worry for America is the fact that more and more citizens are becoming politically illiterate and economically illogical.

That's the megatrend no one from America wants to talk about.

It started with social media but has grown exponentially when the smart phone and social media were combined in the last decade.

@WIRED AI isn’t a toy, and America can’t leave it to incompetents. Instead of regulating frontier AI seriouslyas Dario warned early and credibly, the Trump admin mocks him, scares off foreign capital, and treats policy like roulette. Miss this train, and America loses the century.

@GaryMarcus the timing of that quote aged like milk left in the sun

sovereign AI the real winner here

@GaryMarcus I don't want to find out Anthropic agreed to surveil US citizens with their AI in order to release new models.

@GaryMarcus There is no reason to think that USA has the best models. All we can compare is proprietary models in wrappers to open model weights.
