Concerned

On Macro Voices, Erik Townsend relayed Matt Barrie’s view that Chinese open-source AI models may be only three to six months behind frontier models and could become a major competitive threat because they can run locally, avoiding cloud providers’ access to corporate data 1. Brent Johnson said the argument was a serious concern but that he neither fully agreed nor fully disagreed, stressing that China is a formidable adversary and that energy capacity could materially support its AI race 1.

Stories it travels in

i

The stories

  • ○ a voice, on the left
  • ◌ a voice raising half of these
  • ● a subject, on the right, under its story
  • ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story

The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
