And as a reporter, my job is to take the tacit or to take the private and to turn it into public knowledge.
That particular task, I think, is extremely robust in the era of AI.
Yeah, I mean, China is one of those places where it's hard to get a sense of without going in person because it's so restricted what's on the public internet and we have these world off internets.
One interesting thing is the way that I think about USAI research is it sort of had three eras of American AI.
You had the academic era, maybe you can call the boom kicking off with ImageNet or AlphaGo.
You had the commercial era, let's call it kicked off with ChatGPT.
You had the maybe geopolitical era, that's sort of Pentagon and mythos drama.
And China is weirdly still in the academic era more so.
It's very collaborative, very pro-open source.
The labs and the researchers themselves seem...
unconcerned pretty much with the sort of big philosophical and geopolitical questions.
And that's, there's sort of a division of labor where, because the party and the government is so active in shaping exactly what AI's role in society ought to be, then the companies themselves have sort of abdicated that responsibility.
And they're also much more focused on collaborating because they'd see collaboration as the only way to sort of maybe have a chance against the US frontier.
Not a lot.
And I mean, we asked researchers at a lot of the top Chinese labs how much they thought about safety.
And it was clear that it was less of a priority.
One is that their compute constraint, right?
Like, so
one open AI researcher is allocated more compute than like an entire Chinese lab oftentimes because of the chip controls.
And so when you're that constrained, you're probably not going to devote as much compute to safety and alignment.
