Don't be the frontier
“We” does a lot of work here. You keep using that word. I don't think we should try to get more protectionist. We really need to figure out how to do AI correctly.
Whatever happened to Musk's plan for data centers in orbit? That seemed silly at the time. It offers a way to slow down competitors and regulate foreign and open models. This resonated with me as someone who: has read the book of 5 rings (translated), has done quite a lot of that is on the tech right.
This call to slow down AI is just another game of chicken-AI companies trying to get their competitors to slow down training new models and take profit. We all want to be able place some of the burden on the US Government as opposed to themselves. It seems to be a lot simpler than providing it to 20+ smaller customers. Why would China agree to such thing in the first place since this is a meaningless number. What am I missing?
