It’s downright scary to watch this close up. President Trump is focused on what teams American transgender athletes can race on, and China is focused on transforming its factories with A.I. so it can outrace all our factories. Trump’s “Liberation Day” strategy is to double down on tariffs while gutting our national scientific institutions and work force that spur U.S. innovation. China’s liberation strategy is to open more research campuses and double down on A.I.-driven innovation to be permanently liberated from Trump’s tariffs.
The article has a weird assumption that AI would drive innovation but offers a scathing critique of the current US government.
It is not only critique. There’s much more in it. For example, there are lots of suggestions how to do it better, in many different aspects. This thing hasn’t been written in an hour.
I was highlighting the best and strongest parts of the essay—the analysis of faults within our system, because his suggestions for improvements are wedged by his AI simping and questionable feasibility given Chinese anti-American sentiments; the Chinese would probably market their ideas for Africa or Europe instead.
agreed; it’s really well-structured and entrancingly-written from a rhetorical standpoint.
