And with those who responded.

Just one small thing. There is no “race”. Not in terms of winners and losers from an athletic contest standpoint. Sure, the losers will be the people. But if anyone thinks that the PRC getting AI “first” means other countries/companies will throw up their hands in defeat is fooling themselves. AI development will continue. And accelerate.

And the destruction of organized society will also continue.
