    You don’t see the difference between an AI that can design + 3D print rocket engines, or manage robotic arms on an assembly line, & Grok? I’m not big on the I Ching unless novelists are using it, I think the OP article buries the lede on the AI race (the only one who wants to race is the US, & its losing)

    The real battle is between primarily proprietary US models & the state-corralled primarily open source Chinese scene

      That isn’t the difference the author is describing. They are talking about discrete vs continuous and bring it up a number of times. That is a fundamental difference in operation. Nowhere does it state how this is achieved. A neural network? LLM? Some advanced stochastic model? What?

        Right the article sucks. Anyone who tries to make this about ideals rather than meticulous management of the quant & datacenter firms by the CPC is a bonehead. If you want good writing from Asia Times check this guy out. I met him on twitter and thought he was just a horny insane old man but he’s actually quite intelligent!
