China′s AI ′hundred model′ war shifts to enterprise value, JPMorgan says (SCMP)
|
|
|
The drive for AI monetisation among Chinese tech companies has become a battle over “delivering measurable business value” rather than raw technical performance, according to Alex Yao, head of China equity research at JPMorgan.
China's AI landscape was rapidly consolidating from a fragmented “hundred-model” battle down to a smaller group of globally competitive leading players, particularly those that could transform consumer-facing features into reliable enterprise-grade infrastructure, Yao......

China's New AI Agent Risks Trapping Western Tech In Rights Abuses: Analysts
Authored by Jarvis Lim via The Epoch Times,
China's new state-backed artificial intelligence (AI) platform threatens to stifle domestic tech innovation through forced ideological compliance, and in the West, it could also be used to cover up the regime's human rights abuses, analysts warn.

Xinhua, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), will spend more than 1.1 billion yuan ($162.38 million) to launch an AI agent to propagate Chinese leader Xi Jinping's thinking, according to a feasibility study published on its website on June 5.
Dubbed "Xinhua Yudian," the platform positions itself as an indispensable tool for journalists, a practical asset for party cadres, and a trusted information source for the general public, the study showed.
"Through 'Q&A on Xi's ...

"Tell Him He's A Piece Of Shit": Employee Hijacks Meta Meeting In AI Revolt
Earlier this week, a routine livestreamed Meta meeting descended into open revolt.
During a presentation open to thousands of employees, one participant suddenly interrupted the speakers with a profanity-laced outburst, according to WIRED. The employee declared they felt like "the company's bitch" and demanded that the people leading the call write to a specific Meta AI executive and "tell him that he's a piece of shit."
One presenter reportedly covered their face with their hands. Moderators asked everyone to mute. The technical discussion eventually continued, but the moment - which employees in the chat described as "spicy" - revealed something much deeper: widespread anger and disillusionment inside Meta's newly formed Applied AI unit.
"It's literally the gulag. You have zero purpose in life all of a sudden, you barely interact with anyone, you just have these task...

AI's Core Flaw: "Mass Regurgitation Of Misinformation"
Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog,
These immense hidden costs will not show up in GDP until they collapse the entire house of speculative gambling cards propping up the global economy.
I approach all AI topics with several things in mind. One is the nature of problems, which implicitly define what qualifies as solutions, and the resulting incentive to define the "problem" such that the "solution" happens to be the one we own and control.
So the "problem" AI solves is "corporate profits are too low," and so the "solution" is to replace costly human labor (made costlier by SickCare insurance and taxes on labor) with "cheaper" AI (cheaper because the full costs are hidden or subsidized).
My other lens: the economic, social and cultural consequences of AI as it is and AI hype, a topic I've explored most recently in Is AI Reversing Anti-Progress or I...
