And then he literally, in this very extensive document, looks at the current track record of how AI is being designed, developed, and deployed in the world and comes to the conclusion it is absolutely not doing any of those things.

But it could if we actually change its course of development.

And so it's this very beautiful, deeply considered document that reminds us what the ultimate purpose of all of us, you know, faffing about in the world are trying to achieve.

So this is what's so interesting about what the what about China argument has gotten us, because it's been deployed not just in the AI era, it was also deployed in the social media era.

US Silicon Valley companies loved to use this argument.

And what did that actually give us?

I mean, social media companies were like, don't regulate us because what about China?

We're going to have a, you know, we're going to win the social media era ecosystem.

And we are then going to have a liberalizing effect on the world.

Actually, the most popular platform today,

social media is TikTok, developed by a Chinese company.

And what happened with all the Silicon Valley platforms, it had illiberalizing effects on the world.

And now with the AI era, they're deploying the same argument.

Don't regulate us because we need to dominate the AI space.

And in fact, use export controls, which is a mechanism of the U.S.

government to regulate China extraterritorially.

Don't allow Chinese companies to get access to the most cutting edge AI chips so we can stall their development.

What has actually happened?

Once again, Chinese models are beginning to dominate globally.

Why?
