US Leads Short AGI Timelines as China Builds Long-Term AI Edge

--0--

Original post

@zephyr_z9 yes but you can argue general industrial/engineering capacity + a will to win and public+govt support are what achieves parity in the long run

head-to-head rn the US wins, but between 2 civilisations, the one that wants to win harder will win eventually

IMO, the US wins on shorter AGI timelines. If timelines are long, China wins 1. 80% of Chinese are optimistic about AI, vs 35% for USA 2. Chinese researchers are winning larger shares of top publications 3. Chinese unis are investing in AI much more than US unis 4. Infrastructure

@zephyr_z9 it's not clear to me that the US government (either party) wants to win AI, rather than manage the negative effects. The CCP wants to win AI.

Thinking about how elections affect American AI. Kinda funny: Republican win: Get foreign researchers banned, monitor Trump's Truth Social to see if your company gets banned. Democrat win: Get datacenters banned+bunch of taxes.
