The Great Race



Trump declares US is going to 'win' AI race as administration unveils action plan

The new blueprint is designed to speed up the building of energy-intensive data centres - which run AI products - by loosening environmental rules, while also vastly expanding the sale of AI technologies overseas.

The plan, which includes 90 recommendations, comes as America attempts to maintain its edge over China, with both superpowers investing heavily in the industry to secure economic and military superiority.



Meanwhile Ursula von der Leyen and Team EU can't be far behind.

I spit on the preposterous claim that everything in economics is a "race". We won the "race" to build a supersonic airliner and much good it did us.

Goodness gracious.

Off topic but I liked it. The great newspaper proprietor, James Gordon Bennett Jr, became a social pariah in NYC and decamped to the Riviera. He did have style, though, unlike our modern megarich men.

"When he arrived at a Monte Carlo restaurant which he prized for their mutton chops and found all tables occupied, he bought the establishment for $40,000. When his favourite waiter, Ciro, arrived with his chops, he gave him the restaurant as a tip."

Two Tier dining out.

dearieme - it's often better to be second or third and learn from the failures.

James - maybe an AI system can predict the winner.

dearieme - interesting, so his life is a possible origin for the phrase "Gordon Bennett."
