If you want to cede power to China, that's a great way to do it.

There's a reason why Bernie was joined by a bunch of Chinese cutouts

at the Beijing Institute of AI Safety and Governance in order to talk about AI.

Here is Bernie Sanders standing with the Chinese.

Do you really believe that the Chinese give two dams about safety and AI?

This is a country that keeps millions of people in concentration camps.

You think that they care deeply about human rights with regard to AI?

Totally not.

And China, by the way, is stealing our tech.

Like at scale, according to the American Spectator, last month, the White House accused Beijing of industrial scale theft of know-how from American AI labs.

Meanwhile, U.S.

prosecutors claim to have busted an international smuggling ring that funneled advanced chips worth billions of dollars to China in defiance of sanctions.

The CCP is also stepping up efforts to protect China's own AI innovation, blocking a $2 billion takeover by Meta of a Chinese AI startup called Manus.

For good measure, the authorities then banned the founders of Manus from leaving the country.

They're also engaging in something called distillation.

Distillation involves the creation of thousands of fake accounts for the targeted AI chatbot or tool with the accounts working together to extract information.

So, for example, Anthropic said it had detected some 24,000 fraudulent accounts, which had generated more than 16 million exchanges with its powerful cloud chatbot.

It accused leading Chinese labs of being behind the campaign in order to acquire powerful capabilities in a fraction of the time at a fraction of the cost.

Again, they are stealing tech.

That is what they are doing, which is why even Jensen Huang over at NVIDIA, who wants to be able to sell sort of lower level chips to the Chinese, says that NVIDIA is not going to be selling top of the line.
