The story of the US-China race, amplified by Silicon Valley, has been overstated. And the specific narrative of a race towards decisive strategic advantage is a “dangerous fiction,” as my co-author Seán Ó hÉigeartaigh writes — dangerous not only because it distorts reality, but also because it carries the potential to serve as a self-fulfilling prophecy. “The world should not be lost on the basis of a fiction.”

Who does the US government think it's fooling when it claims to be the "free world"? I have no idea who would genuinely fall for the narrative of a freedom-loving United States after the last few decades.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
