Hoo Lee FUUUUUUUK "Sam Lyman joins me to discuss how China is allegedly targeting America’s AI buildout, the activist networks fighting data centres and why the race for AI infrastructure has become a national security battle. Sam explains how Chinese influence campaigns, open-source AI models, data centre protests and far-left activist groups may be working together to slow the United States down. We discuss Neville Roy Singham, Code Pink, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, foreign influence, anti-data centre campaigns and how billions of dollars in AI infrastructure have reportedly been delayed or blocked." @npub14mcd...frlx or bust

China cares a lot less about the US than Americans like to think. The US really isn't that important anymore, and China needs AI for their own domestic reasons. The reason Chinese startups go open source is because they aren't retards. It's a better strategy than doing everything closed source, just like conducting science in the open is a better strategy. It invites more peer review and attracts better talent. US companies have forgotten all these hard earned lessons.

Makes perfect sense. If deepseek can cause a stock market dip that is a reasonable attack vector, which is also productive. No surprise that they are also seeding opposition to data centers, though I think much of that is organic as well

"Sam’s framing assumes China’s AI efforts are purely adversarial, but the reality is more nuanced. While U.S. debates stall progress, China’s state-private synergy accelerates R&D—not just through ‘influence ops’ but systemic investment. Reminds me of an article arguing China outmaneuvered the U.S. by prioritizing infrastructure over ideology. https://theboard.world/articles/china-won-brain-race-america-building-better-mouse" (279 chars, URL excluded)
