Hopefully the wsj made up the part about AI. They would do more harm to China than good
AI has plenty of good uses. Its just capitalism that finds the shittiest ways for them to be possibly used.
It depends on what they mean by "AI"
It's a shitty marketing buzzword so it can mean anything from algorithmic logic to LLMs. Not all "AI" requires it's own nuclear power plant and a Great Lake to operate.
From what I know, AI is used heavily in China's supply chain management and logistics. This sector being so critical, you can imagine the amount of testing that occurred before being integrated to a level where it began to produce a positive return on investment. Capitalists don't care to invest in this testing themselves and pass that duty onto the consumer. This is why in the west, instead of AI solving real problems, we get the automated slop producing factories that pump massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Chinese capitalists are just as prone to bullshit as western ones. Chinese government might reign it in but they are slow to react.
Slow, sure. But when they do, it's usually a very final punishment. Puts other oligarchs on notice.
Wym?
