I find this just keeps happening. People treat capitalism as if it’s a law of nature rather than a social construct, and then just find things to rage at rather than confronting the underlying root cause. Sadly, I already see people double down on the whole China is capitalist trope and using AI being developed there as further proof of that. The idea that this tech can be developed outside capitalism and applied in a socially positive way is a bridge too far it seems.
They won’t be able to ignore when China fully utilizes AI for stuff like space exploration. They’re already doing incredible things in the medical field, and it’s only a matter of time before this technology is going to be widely available to everyone. It’s at least nice to know this is a place where I can not only get positive information on this new tool, but also people who are also using it and discovering how else it can be applied, and not surrendering the technology to the same people who are currently using it for all the same things they’re raging about.
I think so as well, people in the west have a really narrow view of this tech focusing on LLMs and think it’s all just chat bots. But China is applying it far more broadly, as you mention, so we have more and more clear examples of AI being used for social good available to point to.
