What does that even mean, though? It seems they’re basically just committing to safe and reasonable technological development. Yeah, that’s impossible under capitalism because stock line must go up, but it seems like they’re conflating reviving Karl Marx as an AI with just not letting their chatbots spout nonsense.
To be fair, I have no idea how the AI world looks like in China, but elsewhere AI can mean anything from a linear regression to complex logical inference systems. With how shallow the newscorp coverage of their developments is, I’m never even sure if they’re talking about LLMs or just automated logistics tools.
“This is a pretty significant set of responsibilities, and will make it hard for smaller companies without an existing compliance and censorship apparatus to offer services,” said Toner.
As if smaller companies ever had a chance with competing on this area in the first place, with the sheer amount of data and infrastructure required to put something like that online. Even the biggest companies need to do shit like this.
One result could be that in ten years China’s internet will still be… the internet, with all the strengths and shortcomings that entails. Meanwhile the internet in western countries will have devolved into an increasingly unusable and useless mess of AI-generated content. Like Quora, but everywhere and worse.
Can’t wait for AI generated MCU movies rehashing Avengers 2. But yeah, China seems to be on the right track on this one. I just think that a lot of their international reception over AI is very muddled by the stock exchange AI hype train, when we really just need some cool image processing techniques and some great optimization discovery like Soviet Linear Programming. Fancy chatbots and “content generators” should be the last priority, though at least nobody is being made homeless to fuel their ones.
Man, that article on Kantorovich is fascinating – imagine the possibilities. I wonder if this will be remembered as the century in which computing in socialist countries really pulls ahead. (Imagine future historians saying of the American and western European economies that “they failed because they were unable to adequately adapt to the computer revolution”).
I wonder what Yugoslavia would’ve been up to these days. Iskra Delta had some pretty sophisticated designs going on with the Partner and Triglav from what I can tell.
