#2Very interesting. We might make real progress as a species if we can leverage this more generally as a society.
Also, I expect the "machines" to disrupt the film industry in a very similar way.

#3Some really good points. Does anyone have a good explanation for why Chinese startups seem to have mastered build AI-centric apps while American startups (and large companies) lag behind?
Edit: Want to rephrase this to avoid promoting nationalism. Why has ByteDance been so successful? TikTok / Douyin and Toutiao are both really big hits, Facebook hasn't had a comparable ground-up hit despite having top-notch ML engineers.

If I had to take a guess, Asia has always focused more on math in education than the US. Given that AI/machine learning is a lot of math it makes sense (they would have a larger talent pool for building the algorithms), but that's just one guess...

#7TikTok really is next-generation social media. Interesting that this should come out of China and not the west. Maybe we are seeing the effect of monopolies stifling innovation.

ByteDance, the company behind TikTok, pays more for AI developers than most western companies: https://crm.org/articles/3-million-pay-packages-how-a-chines....

A lot of those are employed by US based companies and US still can outpay companies in RoW. The only thing limiting is access to H1B visas, so I doubt talent pool is the cause here.
