I went through the history of his posts and all I can tell you is from the very beginning this fella
@tacoburger has been doing just that spilling taco beans on this forum with his/her never ending spiel on why is China behind in this, why is China still using rocket tech that's toxic, why is China not emulating, not producing a Boston Dynamics level company, why is China not investing in GMO etc..This dude is just a pretender and in my opinion a loser trying to create some sort of panic or alarm that China is losing/laggards in many important technological forefronts. The person is a serious drama queen when he's just really being an alarmist troll.
And yet people still can't give me a good reason. Again, this is simple logic here. Let me meme it for you, why I'm so worried.
GTP-2, GTP 3, PaLM, LaMDA, flamingo, openAI codex, Megatron, Github copilot: I sleep
ChatGTP: Real shit, entire A.I sector on fire within a month, dozens of ChatGTP clones coming right up, dozens of companies and startups created just to create LLMs, tens of thousands of business are looking to interagte LLMs into their products and business models
It's not even an issue of why China couldn't come up with their own LLM in the first place, it's that they couldn't even recognize the potential of LLM until it was so mainstream that it couldn't be ignored. This are supposed to be A.I researchers on the forefront. There's clearly something very wrong going in the industry if they could ignore PaLM or flamingo, two very impressive LLM that were on my radar when they came out even though I don't work in the A.I sector. PaLM was impressive in the way it could understand meta-reasoning behind jokes and memes, probably the closest to ChatGTP before ChatGTP came out.
I though that China was already making great progress on the LLM front since GTP-3 rocked the boat and with every development of google/deepmind/facebook's new LLM, but I just never heard about it. But it turns out that most of the major A.I players just didn't care?
It's not like they're doing well on other A.I fronts.
Sure LLM may not lead to AGI. But given their failure to even do recognize the potential of LLM, what hope do they have of actually innovating or even recognizing whatever revolutionary new A.I model that comes out of America before it's too late. Unless something changes, China is going to lose the A.I race for sure. And that's the most important technology race ever.
Sounds like a hater who wants to convince pro-Chinese to give up and embrace monkey see monkey do with the West as the model.
I would love it if China can actually can innovate instead of outright saying that they need to copy ChatGTP, as have many chinese A.I companies have.
The issue is that China had a much later start. Acknowledging the wrong issue like you are is no part of fixing anything.
And A.I was supposed to be the field where China and America were neck and neck. After all, the A.I winter stalled a lot of progress on this field. Deep learning was a pretty new development. It's a pretty even playing field I thought.
You think making a good guess makes you smart but the people who you are criticizing think that inventing the tech to defeat your rivals is what makes one smart. You're not even in their ball park.
I'm just saying how it is. I knew from 2020, that GTP-3 and it's successors were going to be a BIG deal. Chinese A.I sector didn't get the memo until ChatGTP in 2022. Excuse it however you want.
No no no. The best question is, if you're so smart, why haven't you invented something that puts China ahead of the Americans?
Probably because I don't have billions of dollars, an team of researchers and my own supercomputing center. The question is, why didn't those who did, start research back in 2020 when GTP-3 was making waves, instead of waiting until 2022 until ChatGTP exploded onto the scene?
Uh, no, Mr. "Smart." A few months is not a few years is not a century. Wild exaggeration is a sign of those who are no smart actually.
When dealing with AGI, a few months can catapult you a century ahead or behind. Nukes are the same.
No, this is actually not like WWII or nukes at all. This is like supercomputers and telecom, where we have the time to make a strategy, follow it through, and eventually overtake without freaking out like you.
Or someone gets AGI first, it upgrades itself over and over in a few days/weeks/months, becoming a ASI and proceeds to do whatever it wants? Not something you want your competitor to get first.
Soft power is fake and useless.
Soft power is very real. Just look at us, typing in English, giving more data for the whatever new AI OpenA.I is doing to dote out next.
