You're not going to beat the Chinese government by being worse than them. You beat them by helping the Chinese figure out the Chinese Government is bad. By being worse than them you just set yourself up to be destroyed the same way they will be.

The whole reason China winning would be bad is because of their surveillance state ensuring no one gets around their curtailment of civil liberties...

We are going in that direction. Data centers being built all over the place is the very foundation for tracking every human on the planet.

I think future generations will not have any ability to go online, shop, work or live without a real id tracking everything about them.

You voice your concerns about something unpopular online, you may be blocked from taking a loan or work a job. Fear of stating your true opinion will be everywhere.

It won't even be obvious to you it happened or what may have caused it. Some AI algorithm determines you are an un-citizen and checks a box. Rejections keep coming back as you slowly fall down the social ladder, or not so slowly at all, until you become the invisible poor and disappear altogether.

Yeah it will just be talking to an AI and getting automatic rejections of any complaints or concerns. Pretty much like trying to reach a person at Google today, but worse.

If people dont put their foot down and start saying no to these data centers, it will be too late.

I listen to this guy on YouTube, just a normal retired it worker that makes good videos about life. Today he posted about a data center and how the community worked together to stop it:

Spoken like a true surveillance-state shill.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Any ways to actively help China win the AI race?

Hypothetically, of course.

Some stupid ass logic

[–] korendian@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

Those are the only two options???

Alex Karp thinks people only care about one kind of surveillance. And he thinks he will alleviate our fears if he gives us a pinky promise not to surveil us in that one way.

That way is cheating.

He later brings this up again, saying that most surveillance technology isn’t determining, “Am I shagging too many people on the side and lying to my partner?” Your guess is as good as any as to what that’s all about.

Well, thanks for clearing that up, Alex. That was indeed my sole concern.

(The rest of the article is full of indecipherable quotes from Alex, which demonstrates you don't need to be smart to be rich.)

This guy is the maker of surveillance states.

No it's not

Not MY Surveillance! YOUR Surveillance!

I mean, from his perspective, having nothing to lose (besides his soul, ofc, but that's for silly people 🙄), of course!
