So, one thing I'm wondering is why is China hopping in on the "AI" bullshit train anyway?
Are they just that prone to falling for grifts?
@LisPi they have the most advanced human surveillance technology in the world. And this is just the next phase of that technology. Putting this on people's phones and in their houses is like the ultimate in surveillance and control.
Venture capitalists love to talk about the single person billion dollar company. The Chinese Communist Party has 100 million members. If a technology like this can get rid of even a percentage of those, it allows you to tighten your grip as an Autocracy.
The companies building this technology today are all basically State assets. So they get direct access and control without any of the public fights like Anthropic.
So I'll flip this around, why do you think they shouldn't be doing this? What grift do you think they are being subjected to?
