It will be interesting to see if Schmidt’s comments about the future of AI being mostly a China-US game will come true, or if less powerful models will ultimately be more useful than single centralized powerful ones.

The analogy here might be between nuclear weapons and drones; the former are controlled entirely by a small number of countries, but the latter probably have more of a direct role to play in the future of warfare - and yet aren’t costly or difficult to make at all. The assumption tends to be that the most powerful well-capitalized tech always wins, but I don’t think that is necessarily the case.

That’s a pretty big PDF - can you point me to the part where he talks about what I’m talking about?
