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.
So you're pro ai datacenter?? You think llms are a disruptive technology, and not a way for the billionaires to become trillionaires?
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.
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.
