Thanks for the reply.

Naive question probably - which of these platforms would get a new creator the biggest audience?

The new US administration has made the world more dangerous. The ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians and war with Iran both threaten to escalate to a wider Middle East war.

At present, the only available treatments for snakebites consist of polyclonal antibodies derived from the plasma of immunized animals, which have high cost and limited efficacy against 3FTxs5

Huge swathes of the world, especially India and countries in Africa, don't have access to high cost medical treatments.

At least this should finally put the 'Chinese can't innovate, they can only copy' meme into retirement.

Yes, & their embrace of the orange failed businessman will come back to bite them on the backside.

He's already handed China global leadership in the energy transition, likely the biggest industry in human history, that the Chinese will make trillion from in decades to come.

They are:

I could easily believe its true, though if so, I'm puzzled by their tactics.

Open-sourcing like this seems profoundly decentralizing and democratizing, not tendencies I'd associate with the CCP.

At this point I wonder is the Chinese government executing some strategy in the background. If they are, and its to weaken America's tech lead, it's working.

Then again, why open-source everything and give its power so freely to everyone? Many people would have thought hoarding power to try and be No 1, as the US is doing, is better game play.

I'm glad this means AI's power will become more decentralized internationally. Who would have thought it was China responsible for that?

Just a few months ago many American commenters thought their country was 'years ahead' of China when it came to AI dominance. That narrative has been blown out of the water.

"For example, if you were to replace components made of titanium on a plane with this material, you would be looking at fuel savings of 80 liters per year for every kilogram of material you replace," adds Serles.

I'm impressed by two things here. That something so light could replace titanium, and that it was discovered by AI.

Zero / zero is mathematically undefined.

I should have been more accurate. What I meant was the economics term - zero marginal cost.

There's an excellent book by Jeremy Rifkin speculating on what an AI/robotics automation zero marginal cost society might be like.
