If i can risk sounding uniformed...race to what?
For fusion technology there is a race to a goal, a sustainable reaction that outputs more energy than put in.
For the space race it's had a definite goal of the moon (although that didn't mean anything scientifically)
For atomic elements, if you had enough evidence to say you had it then you had it.
Ai? What's the finish line?
It's the race to build artificial general intelligence that all of the US capitalists can pay for to replace all workers, hack and destroy all other anti-imperialist countries, and then have it kill and oppress all of the poors in the world forever.
I made a previous post on this topic:
There's also the AI 2027 paper, which theorizes a world in which OpenAI and associates are able to create a self-improving AI for the USA by the year 2027. At that point, the AI will be able to improve its own intelligence ad infinitum until it becomes a god and can immediately defeat any and all other countries by hacking their infrastructure instantly or planning amazing color revolutions, thereby guaranteeing U.S. world domination forever.
US capitalists fear that if China can get to a comparable level of AI at the same time, then they won't be able to delete China with their own AI.
The only race I can think of is the race to AI being profitable. Right now it's just a money and energy pit.
