It seems a bit strange. This isn’t like nuclear weapons researchers in the 1940s, where only a small group had the knowledge to build the bomb. There are a LOT of AI researchers out there, and it’s more a battle of resources rather than rare knowledge at this point, it seems.

In the European countries that I've bothered to look, crime statistics are actually down. It's just the perception of crime that is up. Think about who might benefit from creating this kind of misleading perception.
It can be misleading in other ways For instance it is trivial for a country to reduce crime statistics simply by making things that used to be crimes legal
It can be, but it's easy to check wheter it's true or another fascist dream, right

Does anybody doubt that this is a reasonable concern? The Feds would probably throw the book at those guys for every form of IP theft, "conspiracy to commit economic espionage," "theft o…

Im pretty anti-CCP, and pro-USA, but I wouldn't put anything past the Trump admin at this point. Honestly don't see how news worthy this whole thing is, as it just seems like common sense from the Chinese side imo.

#27The interesting thing in this article isn’t that China is telling people to avoid the US for national security reasons. Many states, including the US have similar guidance to people who work in jobs sensitive to national security.
