    You don’t see the difference between an AI that can design + 3D print rocket engines, or manage robotic arms on an assembly line, & Grok? I’m not big on the I Ching unless novelists are using it, I think the OP article buries the lede on the AI race (the only one who wants to race is the US, & its losing)

    The real battle is between primarily proprietary US models & the state-corralled primarily open source Chinese scene

      Open source local LLMs will win the day, as the tech becomes more and more compressible. But, now AI data centers are f’ing up the supply that would have accelerated that process.

      Frankly, it says more about the fragile PC supply chain than anything else, especially memory and other specialized electronic manufacturing processes.

      That isn’t the difference the author is describing. They are talking about discrete vs continuous and bring it up a number of times. That is a fundamental difference in operation. Nowhere does it state how this is achieved. A neural network? LLM? Some advanced stochastic model? What?

        Right the article sucks. Anyone who tries to make this about ideals rather than meticulous management of the quant & datacenter firms by the CPC is a bonehead. If you want good writing from Asia Times check this guy out. I met him on twitter and thought he was just a horny insane old man but he’s actually quite intelligent!
