"If you were to ask, for example, a model trained in China, 'What happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989?' it would respond, 'I cannot answer this.' It will really censor everything that is critical of the Chinese regime." @SamLyman33 demolished mainstream regulatory complacency regarding international artificial intelligence parameters, framing the global tech race as a high-stakes ideological battle between free speech and authoritarian control.

@beffjezos And that was just the tip of the iceberg. See how deep the rabbit hole goes:

Look, CCP-led anti-data center propaganda is a real problem and I'm glad people are raising it. It's not something we should tolerate and we should definitely take stringent action to guard against it. This really is groundbreaking research from @SamLyman33 and @bitcoinpolicy. But we also have to get real that China isn't the reason AI buildouts are unpopular in the United States. Working ourselves into a frenzy about foreign interference isn't going to fix the fact that my generation is vehemently anti-AI. I've had friends distance themselves from me because I run an AI dashboard startup @DgtlEmb. Even my tech-literate students—who attend an elite East Coast university, and are focused on protecting national security—are broadly anti-AI. I don't think the AI doomers are right. And as someone who spends 99% of his time thinking about how to beat China at AI, I'm *really* worried about this narrative. We desperately need more inference compute to serve AI's billions of users, and I only expect local resistance to American data centers to increase—while China builds it directly into a well-fortified electric grid. (This, among other reasons, is why making space compute work is so important to the United States.) Pretending AI anxiety is fake and that China is just astroturfing the biggest political risk of our time is the surest path to failure. Telling the hundreds of millions of Americans who are today anti-AI "Your opinions were paid for by the CCP" is not a winning political message. There are real, viscerally-felt reasons for AI's unpopularity in this country—and unless governments and AI developers take steps to more adequately manage the political economy around the token economy, the doomers are sure to win.
