They need to make sure it is really obvious first, to maximize the outrage. Then we will have a truly "vibrant" democracy.

On the software side, China's strategy could involve leveraging advanced AI models like KLING. The KLING model has already made headlines for outperforming other leading models, and it could serve as a critical asset in China's AI arsenal. By training and developing state-of-the-art AI models, such as those utilizing dual architectures like diffusion and transformer combined, China can stay ahead of the curve. The key to this strategy would be the open release of these neural network weights, allowing global access and usage. By doing so, China could effectively democratize advanced AI technology, making it accessible to researchers and developers worldwide, and undermining the exclusivity of platforms like OpenAI.
This software strategy would require substantial investment in research and development, ensuring that Chinese AI models remain at the forefront of innovation. By prioritizing the development of multi-modal AI models and releasing them to the public, China could foster a global community of AI developers who rely on Chinese technology, thus increasing its influence and reach in the AI domain.
On the hardware side, China could focus on maintaining parity with U.S. technology by employing DUV (deep ultraviolet) multi-patterning techniques. Even if this approach is not immediately profitable, it could serve as a critical stopgap to ensure that Chinese manufacturing capabilities keep pace with global standards. This strategy would help bridge any technological gaps and sustain China's competitive edge during this crucial phase.
Furthermore, China could offer its cloud services to its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) partners and the Global South at heavily subsidized rates. By providing affordable cloud infrastructure, China can ensure that developing nations and BRI members have access to cutting-edge AI technologies. This would prevent these regions from becoming reliant on U.S.-based services like Microsoft Azure and OpenAI, instead fostering a dependency on Chinese cloud solutions.
By executing this dual-pronged strategy—leading in AI model development and ensuring widespread adoption through affordable cloud services—China could effectively counter the U.S. AI strategy. This approach would not only mitigate the risks posed by potential supply chain disruptions but also establish China as a formidable leader in the global AI race.
If all else fails, there is always the TW AR rug pull
While large language models (LLMs) like those developed by OpenAI are not sentient and do not emulate the biology of a human brain, they are nonetheless extremely useful from a functional and utility standpoint. It is reductive to dismiss them merely as "next word prediction." The transformer architecture, especially with its attention mechanisms, allows LLMs to achieve a level of complexity that makes them generatively applicable to everyday tasks, significantly enhancing productivity.
These models act as intellectual multipliers. Even though they don't experience qualia or solve the hard problem of consciousness, their economic impact is undeniable. LLMs are capable of performing tasks that were once solely within the realm of human creativity and intellectual labor. Their emergent properties allow them to generate content, analyze data, and automate complex processes, effectively displacing a wide range of tasks previously thought to be exclusive to human expertise.
From a technical performance standpoint, these models are incredibly powerful tools. They can automate and enhance numerous workflows, saving time and resources, and pushing the boundaries of what technology can achieve. This utility is significant and transformative, contributing to advancements across various industries and sectors.
In conclusion, dismissing OpenAI's technology as a glorified search engine overlooks its profound utility and impact. While not sentient, these models provide substantial benefits, driving efficiency and innovation in ways that were previously unimaginable.
Is Russia supplying Iran with nuclear weapons??

Premier Li Qiang will visit Australia for three days from 15th June.
I wonder if there are specific commercial reasons why visits to Perth and Adelaide are part of the agenda, as these are only Australia's 4th- and 5th-largest cities respectively. Canberra is smaller again, but as the national capital there is no mystery there.

U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns on U.S.-China Relations
NEW YORK, June 6, 2024 — Ambassador Nicholas Burns delivers remarks on the state of U.S.-China relations and discusses related issues with Orville Schell, vice president and Arthur Ross director of the Asia Society Center’s on U.S.-China Relations. (58 min., 56 sec.)
- Asia Society
Disclaimer: Nicholas is a far-right (i.e. neocon) Anglo-supremacist US politician.
Personal Opinions:
As one might have guessed, during the speech , Burns lies constantly about China (and Russia). Saying that they both have changed for the worse and that they are responsible for the deteriorating relations. At no point in the speech does this neocon thug take any responsibility. just like the rest of his neo-fascist ilk, he acts like an US imperial overlord over the world.
How is it that the US sends these kind of people to sovereign nations and then pretends that they will be seen as "diplomats".
Nicholas Burns, who might or may not be a sinophobe but who definitely is an Anglo-Supremacist/US Imperialist, is being send to China to do diplomacy. Who in their right mind would send a guy like that to China!!??? (serious question)
It is like a similar stunt the US pulled in 2013 when they send Michael McFaul , a certified Russobhobe, to Russia as ambassador. Have these "fine people" in the US state department lost their minds ?
Under Trump, Richard Grenell was another diplomatic "gem" that acted in a similar way when he got posted to Germany (a US vassal state).
To summarize: US neocon-neolib thugs/professional liars like Nicholas Burns or Michael McFaul are NOT friends of China, Russia or any other sovereign nation on earth. These thugs act like military governors ready to dictate US terms to the governments of the countries they are sent to.
IMHO, Nicholas burns should have been kicked out of China a while ago. He is no friend of China's or any other sovereign nation.
One comment. The article does not even mention the US in it very much.
Maybe that is the plan.
1. To bait the Americans.
2. To attack the Americans if they show up inside the first chain to fight China. So far, they are a no show.
