China definitely is. I don't really get how you people don't see this. You're on a pretty heavy CCP influenced social media site. This was one of the generators of anti AI. I bet if you used way back machine you'd see a lot of the anti AI meme's and opinions were originating here. Articles and opinions were heavily astro turfed and I even called this out at the time. It was a barrage of articles and posts that were all eerily similar to right wing content that is aimed at immigrants. It was all the same appeals. Articles about the evil horde of AI coming to attack your daughters and wives and take your jobs and steal your culture. It was a threat and you needed to fear it.
100% China wants their competitors to reject any new tech. Especially if that tech is potentially going to be disruptive. They don't want the average westerner playing around with it and innovating. This isn't an endorsement of AI. But you're blind if you don't realize that much of our anti AI content is driven by AstroTurfing in order to shoot ourselves in our own foot. This technology is here. It sucks. But if you're not using it and learning it and innovating, it's going to be a lot worse for you.
You grew up watching commercials
Who needs evidence when you have an overwhelming sense of paranoid xenophobia.
You're the biggest boot licker. I remember you. You pop up often to defend them. Fucking surprise
Bootlicking is when you don't mindlessly indulge in vast paranoid conspiracy theories to blame all of your countries problems on it's foreign enemies.
You can tell you're full of shit because you choose to misrepresent the entire premise. Boot licking at its finest

Ironic how you call out anti-immigrant fear mongering, then write an entire Sinophobic conspiracy post.
Weird. Humanity it's weirdly complex. Imagine a world of complexity outside the internet
So you're pro ai datacenter?? You think llms are a disruptive technology, and not a way for the billionaires to become trillionaires?
I'm anti having my economy continue to decline. I can't eat your moral superiority
If I were you, I'd look up what a bubble is in economic terms. You sure as fuck can't eat anything in a data center, and when people realize how stupid this push has been to put llms in everything, you're gonna wish you put up more of a fight against them.
Holy shit. Remember the dotcom bubble. Being a bubble isn't the argument you think it is.
The.. Dotcom bubble where investors ignored revenue and profibility which resulted in a market crash and huge economic downturn? The dotcom bubble that this new ai bubble is 100x bigger than?
Tell me about some good bubbles lol.
And what are the biggest companies since then? All tech companies. Fuck this is such waste of time
Lol, good luck in the upcoming recession, pal.
The recession is caused by lack of innovation and the economy moving out of the country are decades of Chinese influence using people like you to stifle innovation
buzzword salad
"innovation" is the crazy glue in this person's head holding a completely incoherent ideology together. Yelling at people for not being on board and invoking this magic word like they're angering the gods. You mentioning the dotcom bubble is going to make innovation angry! Ooooo!
.ml hates words like Innovation. Good example of what I'm talking about. For the non .ml users, they can see my point in action with you Chinese boot lickers.
um actually you effectively making me look like a doofus was my trap and you fell into it
no i won't explain why if you're smart you agree with me
I probably smell fine actually
"Its the damn Chinese's fault that our neoliberal catastrophe of an economy is failing!"
Hahahaha, it's China's fault America sucks, got it. Seriously, good luck when the shit hits the fan.
They are making the shitty parts worse
Sure, buddy.
Oh I just saw the .ml it makes sense now 😆 You are the problem

"The West would be great if only everyone hated the Chinese more!"
authoritarian boot licker
"It's authoritarian to not hate foreigners!"
Doing it again here. Unreal how pathetic and obvious this is.

Least racist redditer
Exactly, I'm the reason America sucks 😂.
Oooo scary website users 👻
AI is shaking up everything. My professors are constantly using it for their research to get more accurate simulations, for example. Instead of tweaking parameters for ages an AI tweaks them live while the simulation is running.
Chat bots / LLMs are overhyped and used for lots of things they shouldn't do but AI is here to stay.
One would think someone in uni would be smart enough to realise that, to a layperson, AI = LLMs / generative model.
People have been automating hyerparameter tuning before anyone knew what a GPT is. Maybe don't take that "fuck AI" too personally?
Do you think the majority of new datacenters going up are going to be used for those useful niche cases, or LLM slop that they're going to try to shove down consumers throats?
No, and they're a huge waste of ressources. We just mustnt use this as a reason to reject AI as a whole.
Maybe the people trying to cram LLMs into every single aspect of our lives should have thought of that before they labelled it AI.
If China wants to be the sole victim of AI, let them. No faster way to their destruction exists.
Except they won't. All these people using it are a lot more intelligent than you and have access to numbers and data showing benefits. You have astroturfed media you read on a pro CCP website
China doesn't even have to believe that more domestic datacenters is a good bet for the US. Any in fighting and division directly benefits them. I mean they wrote an entire book on this over 1.5 milenia ago.
Russia and China are very well known to use firehose of falsehoods campaigns. it worked so well for them for creating trump, brexit etc - why would they stop now?
The issue here is people being dumb enough to believe there's some intent and try to extrapolate some sort of real reality from that when it's literally just spam.
Most insanely orientalist shit I've seen in my life
"The West is eternally perfect and infallible, anything bad about it is entirely the fault of those evil Chirussians! (All foreigners are part of the same evil horde, after all)
China doing what China does. I'm not playing this game with you. It's dumb in this era, knowing we knew to act like this stuff isn't happening. You're ignorance is your problem.
Ironic that you call me ignorant when my comment mostly agrees with you. Maybe go touch some grass.
Then it's my mistake. I found it vague and assumed you were saying it was part of that
