I don't love this explanation, mostly because the thing that I heard was not exactly optimism.
It was not exactly, yeah, we're going to get the cancer cures and the super abundance.
It was something a lot closer to optimism.
technology is a force that cannot be stopped.
Actually, in some ways, reminded me more of some of these Silicon Valley beliefs that the future is predetermined, that when the state decides that something like AI is a national priority, that is going to march forward.
And as an individual, there's not much you can do to resist, especially in a
one party state in an authoritarian society, there is no culture of resistance, really.
And so rather than thinking about how do I prevent AI in my workplace or in the world, that's not really a thing that a lot of people are trying to think about.
It's how can I use AI to make sure I don't fall behind in an environment that already has crazy levels of white collar competition and white collar unemployment?
If you're if you're not upskilling yourself with, you know, open claw or whatever, there's a million people in line behind you who are going to get on the bus.
At the same time, I think that the Chinese state takes a pretty different approach to the U.S.
when it comes to AI regulation and also to technology regulation in general.
And so China has passed laws sort of banning a lot of kinds of companion chatbots because they're worried about relationships, they're worried about fertility rates, they're worried about addiction.
China has made court rulings that say that
AI replaced this worker's job.
AI can do this worker's job is not a good enough reason to lay off a worker.
You have regulations that require all AI generated images to be labeled and you'll see the made with AI sort of language on all of the AI made ads in China.
And so there's also a sense that some people, some Chinese have that their government is
is more likely to look out for sort of the social downsides and the labor downsides relative to the U.S.
government, which has thus far been pretty laissez-faire, especially at the national level, right?
