    Everyone’s memeing but it looks grim.

    Having AI turn into an arms race between China and the U.S. will only accelerate its growth. For a while it looked like AI was stagnating, the bubble might burst, and people were tempering their expectations of what we had. That just got thrown out the window. I can’t think of any way you could damage the competitiveness of what China is offering, so U.S. tech now have to improve and there will probably be greater support from the U.S. government to see that improvement.

    People simply don’t win in the long term when these improvements will go towards taking their jobs.

      The US is always in competition with someone else to try and prove how great they are. It’s hard for everyone else to get upset about it at this point, whether the competition is internal or external it really doesn’t matter. It’s just capitalism. It was always going to get pushed to the very limit of what it’s capable of, and it was always going to threaten people’s jobs. This doesn’t change anything.

      If anything this is a positive move because at least when the AI replaces us normal people, we will actually be able to make use of it rather than it just being the sole domain of the mega corporations.
