AI supremacy: The artificial intelligence battle between China, USA and Europe | DW Documentary

The race for supremacy in the age of artificial intelligence has begun. China, the USA and Europe are vying for the top spot. So are individual tech companies and start-ups. Who will determine which technologies will shape the future of humanity?
The documentary follows key figures from the tech industry, science and politics who are working on artificial intelligence around the globe. They are tasked with making far-reaching decisions within a very short space of time. How can the technology’s potential be harnessed, while preventing a science fiction dystopia? The potential benefits of the currently emerging super-infrastructure are as limitless as its existential dangers. The latter include disinformation and election manipulation, as well as new forms of warfare and surveillance.
The film focuses on three entrepreneurs whose start-ups are among the top players in the field of generative AI: Jonas Andrulis from Aleph Alpha (Germany), Thomas Wolf from the open-source platform Hugging Face (France) and Han Xiao from Jina.ai (China). Director Dominik Bretsch follows the three AI pioneers over the course of a year, from the spring of 2023, when the technology first became a mass phenomenon, to the turbulence surrounding OpenAI.
For the three of them, it's all about capital, influence and economic survival in a fast-paced and mercilessly competitive world that’s changing more rapidly than any other. China has set itself the goal of dominating the technology worldwide. The USA wants to prevent exactly that. And Europe - caught between the two competing superpowers - must find its own way: those who lose out now won’t get a second chance. The film provides insights behind the scenes in the tech world and introduces the people behind the technological revolution.

There is a chance that Sam Altman of OpenAI as well as whoever is behind Anthropic realize this as well, and have good ulterior intentions and are trying to be the leaders in AI research to realize it. Unfortunately especially with OpenAI this is likely not the case, but I hold out hope that should they win the AI race it would at least be result in a better world than someone like Google/Meta or a Chinese firm winning. Ultimately, for Google/Meta/Microsoft we can make a very confident guess that their AI efforts are just for profit, for OpenAI it's less certain - but even 90% profit and 10% for the good of humanity would result in a huge improvement in practice due to how marginal economic curves work (to extract that last 10% of extra profit you either miss out on disproportionate good or do disproportionate harm, as you have to do net negative things like price discrimination and anti-competitive practices to milk every drop of money out of your customers).

[@daniel4647]

@@guncolony Problem with that is that OpenAI is basically Microsoft now, they're so deep in bed with Microsoft that they wouldn't be able to pull their themselves out even if they wanted to. Maybe the lawsuit against them could help loosen things up a bit, but with how capitalist the US is I highly doubt their legal system is going to rule in favor of non-profit and open source, the general American mentality is that those things are communism and bad by default, and surely corporate libertarian (for you Americans that have things twisted up, that's the conservative right wing) interests have huge sway in the US court. They're even buying up members of the Supreme Court, like that Clarence Thomas guy. Regular courts, they probably "own" most of them. So I wouldn't bet on that court case going our way, and even if it did the actual real world outcome is hard to predict, it might do nothing to release OpenAI from the chains Microsoft have on them. According to the agreement Microsoft no longer has any rights to the tech after AGI is achieved, but AGI isn't even legally defined so that's a bit of a grey area that this court case will hopefully have to take a stance on.

[@ResidualSelfImage]

However, the statistical analysis of the emotional responses to words and other things can predict how people might feel. Data filters can artificially mimic a "caring" user interface but it won't firmly establish the meta knowledge and self motivation of "caring" without a generative AI being influenced by its own existence and fear/concern/risk of pain or death. Without the fear of death - the sense of immortality - insulates and biases cognitive results that normally biases the human thought processes. .

The biggest problem with Artificial Intelligence is not what it produces or provides to man, but the humanity it takes from man. Human beings have evolved, including and mainly because they communicate, collaborate and achieve together what no one could do alone. Soon humans will predominantly interact with AIs. What does this mean and what will it do to the human psyche? AIs interacting with AIs in the virtual world and producing political and economic reflexes that cannot be understood or controlled by human beings. What does this mean and what will it do to the immense human groups that need to coexist peacefully in geographic spaces? Evolution has pressured us to study and develop theories and techniques to tame nature in order to build homes, towns, cities, nations... Assuming that AIs do not produce hallucinations and that they are capable of thinking better than we think, the incentive to study will cease to exist. In just a few decades the loss of cognitive capacity will be as inevitable as it is immense. If the AIs that control everything suddenly stop working for some reason, how will we be able to carry out complex tasks that require knowledge that no one else will have? Be careful now is necessary, because on the Island of the Waterlily Eaters, what seemed like a good thing to Ulyssee's crew was precisely what kept them numb and voluntary prisoners away from their relatives in an apparently wonderful place, but which was not Ithaca.

AI and its Impact on Society Oct 31, 2023 We must ask ourselves, "What will happen when AI has taken 85% of jobs present today? What will we do? How will we eat and survive without incomes from jobs or other means?" What is disturbing is that while AI is taking these jobs, the gov't and the corporations have not done ANYTHING to prepare us for an AI'ed civilization. They have not said anything about major retraining of an entire economy to something else, and they have not followed up on a discussion of universal basic income. It appears that the US gov't and the corporations intend to kill off the majority of Americans passively, through starvation from lack of income to buy food. (check and see if farming production is declining or will start to decline ahead of the "starvation phase") (also check to see if the "makeup" of robot equipment allocation would change to reflect a trend away from retail and services for the masses, possibly indicating an extinction of the American public - this means taking a robot from Chipotle and repurposing it for some other job not related to the public, or scrapping affected robots to be remade for some other purpose that has nothing to do with the public) This way, there are only enough people alive to get some things done, and the rest is done by AI, and the survivors who planned this can claim the whole country for themselves. Imagine having an estate mansion half the size of a mall on several dozen thousand acres of land, and robots would be used to maintain and clean the estates and do the farming FOR THE ESTATE OWNERS.

Unless Aleph Alpha is being developed completely behind closed doors, they aren't even on the radar of top llm models. Mistral from France is the best from Europe that I know of. And 1x robotics from Norway has potential. But from the brief demo Aleph Alpha's model at 10:43 it seems more like they are doing speech to text with a semantic search, so you'll end up with a better version of Siri not GPT5.

[@rRobertSmith]

Unless your one of their investors or agents it would be almost impossible to tell what they are CURRENTLY doing most of this is at least 2 years ago.

[@13lacle]

​@@rRobertSmith As I said behind closed doors, maybe. But I am also basing this on that I have never heard of them before and I follow AI news. They don't have any old prior models that are public and no public demos. The more concerning thing is some of the very specific wording that they used in the video and on their own channel. These are not the types of things that people with a firm understanding would say about the ground breaking models that all the major companies are building. For instance in their marketing for Luminous on their KZbin channel they say "to find fast, correct answers... you no longer have to browse through gigantic amounts of data manually", that is not something you say about deep neural network based language models. That is what you would say about knowledge graph search, which I would argue is a completely different technology. Also at 11:17 when they said "that wasn't the right answer it can't find anything now", is another tell. That is not how large language models (LLMs) behave. It’s possible they have an LLM interpreter serving as an interface for their graph search algorithm, but this would still represent a significant departure from standard LLM operations. I another key piece of info is that he said he used to work for apple. Other presentations I have heard by prior apple employees (like Luc Julia, co-creator of Siri) do not inspire confidence that they even understand what makes deep neural networks like ChatGPT or Claude different. They adhere to a classical computer science definition of AI, which encompasses a broader spectrum than just deep neural networks-the source of most recent advancements. Ultimately, I suspect this is primarily a marketing strategy to leverage the current AI hype. While not outright falsehoods, their claims are arguably misleading, preying on the public’s lack of understanding of the nuances between categories and specific technologies. It is the equivalent of the mistake between a vehicle and a sports car. All sports cars are vehicles but not all vehicles are sports cars. In this analogy Aleph Alpha is trying to sell you a tractor as a sports car, by saying they have been making vehicles for years just like OpenAI makes vehicles.

Humans will be like sheep or cattle if you take away their ability to be creative and individualistic - these traits are an integral part of human survival and the most valuable driver that the human race possesses - so just what do we aspire to in the future if AI denies us the need to solve problems and make a difference at an individual level?

The ongoing focus continues to be on the technological development of AI, and this is the domain of the companies. They are only part of the change. It is the role of the state to determine the way that policy and society should change as the technology evolves. Together, they represent a more comprehensive model for the future. The profound impacts of AI and robotics will be felt world wide. Governments are very central to the integration of these technologies into society.

What would that be like?” “I don’t know exactly. The first and second ones must have been sort of inconceivable at the time.” “To the people who were going to be replaced by machines, maybe. A third one, eh? In a way, I guess the third one’s been going on for some time, if you mean thinking machines. That would be the third revolution, I guess-machines that devaluate human thinking. Some of the big computers like EPICAC do that all right, in specialized fields.” “Uh-huh,” said Katharine thoughtfully. [...] “First the muscle work, then the routine work, then, maybe, the real brainwork.” “I hope I’m not around long enough to see that final step.”

Tell me what is life in human perspective other than sensors signals all over, we sense life like we sense air into our body to sensing everything and that get simulated as life. That have said, a computer unlike human where we only sense within the body, AI will have the advantage of sensing every aspect on the surface of earth to over the space.
