Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

And that's how I expect it to happen.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

And I think the best example to think about is AI agents and workers.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

People claim there will be in the future this drop in remote workers and AI is literally going to do my job because I'm just sitting in front of a computer all day.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

I mean, sometimes I do talks at whatever, I guess maybe that's my future.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

These things, if that's true, it just depends on how much computer you have.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

Indeed.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

I mean, and this is nothing new, right?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

Like, I'm talking to you via an iPhone.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

There's a lot of thinking which went into this iPhone, lots of tokens, if you want to put it this way.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

And at the end of it, I get like one product.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

This is just how things are being produced and they're being like hidden behind layers.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

And this is what we just see more and more with models.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

And again, every token that's being produced requires computing power.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

And then if you have less compute, you have less of this.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

If you have less compute, you've got less AI workers.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

And population size is pretty important for economic growth, right?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

I'm not sure what sufficient means.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

I'm just saying, like, if, like, one country has more, this definitely helps it to accelerate faster.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
China’s catching up to US AI… Here’s why it won’t matter

So the argument which I'm putting forward there is just like, look, guys, it's more complex.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

Like, what do export controls do and what they don't do?
