When I was talking to my aunt who works at a state-owned enterprise in China, she mentioned like, yeah, I use Doubao, which is their chatbot, and it can probably do the job of two employees, but they're not going to lay us off because there's sort of been a promise to at least the state-owned enterprise workers that we will not lay you off because of AI.
That's not a good enough reason.
And so for some people, there is also a slight sense of security that the government, by being much, much more active than the US in attempting to regulate AI uses, is going to protect people from the worst downsides.
But overall, I think the main thing I would say is just that China has seen a lot of
a lot of both tumult in the last 50 years, but also a lot of progress where, you know, like if you ask a middle-aged or an older Chinese person, they've seen revolutions in their lifetime and they've also seen their standard of living just like increase dramatically year on year on year on year.
And so, yes, they may not like this or that about AI, but fundamentally there's a sense that this is the way that progress moves and you better get on board or you're going to fall behind.
Yeah, it's really interesting.
I think that journalists are still trying to figure out how to cover AI because there is this competing skepticism of any large institution and particularly one where they have marketing goals to talk about how powerful and capable their technologies are.
while also being serious about potential future possibilities.
I mean, one is like, I do think there's a pretty prominent bias I've observed in the mainstream media to avoid giving, almost ever taking the AI companies at their word or taking any claim even about the technology itself.
at their word.
I think a lot of this comes from almost PTSD from the crypto era, where a lot of folks made a lot of promises about how crypto was going to change the world and replace the global financial system.
And none of this really materialized.
And there was a lot of scam and fraud.
And so journalists felt burned and frustrated by that, such that now, even when I'm writing about AI capabilities, I almost always get a question from my editors that says,
But isn't it just marketing?
Can they really do that?
I'm pretty sure it's just marketing.
You should include a caveat about that.
Right.
