From labs to listings: US-China AI race makes capital markets the new battleground (SCMP)
|
|
|
The US-China tech rivalry is no longer confined to the laboratories, fabs and boardrooms of the industry's biggest names – the artificial intelligence battlefield has now expanded into the capital markets, where ambition is priced in real time.
As Washington and Beijing push rival technology ecosystems, initial public offerings and listings are becoming a high-stakes referendum on who gets funding, credibility and, most of all, the runway to scale.
Across the Pacific, the contest has been......

New Gig Economy Job: Train AI That Replaces You
A Bay Area startup called Mercor has hired tens of thousands of white-collar contractors for temporary work, training artificial intelligence to perform the very jobs many of them once held, according to a new Wall Street Journal report.
In effect, these white-collar workers are being paid to accelerate their own obsolescence by feeding and perfecting models for chatbot makers, such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
What is marketed as short-term income increasingly looks like participation in a system that is not on "team humanity," but instead is perfecting AI's ability to hollow out even more white-collar work.
"Welcome to the next gig economy. Instead of driving for Uber or delivering Postmates, a new wave of workers is signing up to school AI. These white-collar contractors review and critique the output of the large language models that power chatbots and other AI tools," the WSJ story read.
Mercor recruits experts across fields...

Beijing Tells Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance To Prepare Nvidia AI Chip Orders
Chinese regulators are nearing approval for Nvidia's H200 AI chips for top domestic tech firms, including Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance, signaling Beijing is moving closer to formally green-lighting imports of last-generation AI accelerators, according to a Bloomberg report.
Approval would represent a material bull catalyst for Nvidia stock and a major win for CEO Jensen Huang, who has stated that the China AI chip opportunity alone could generate up to $50 billion in revenue over the coming years.
This report is notable given Nvidia shares have recently stalled below the $200 level. Any resumption of H200 shipments to China would potentially reignite upside momentum.
The Bloomberg report noted:
The companies are now cleared to discuss specifics such as the amounts they would require, the people said, asking to remain unidentified discussing private talks.
The report did reveal one caveat:
Beijing will encourage comp...
