A Dark-Money Campaign Is Paying Influencers to Frame Chinese AI as a Threat

Lots of legitimate reasons to view Chinese AI as a threat. But A16Z and Anthropic and OpenAI are probably mostly worried about competition, especially from open weights models.

Someone can illuminate for me how the Chinese AI systems will be worse for me than the US-based ones. We're monitored for social, political and economic activity already. US sock puppet groups are hust as bad as foreign in stirring up election interference. And US authorities arrest us based on incorrect facial recognition, petty oligarchs throw us out of Madison Square Garden, federal police will have Meta glasses to recognize people on streets.
