Your hope is probably shared by many in the technology world. But trying to find altruistic 'good' guys who can survive today's VC and PE vultures is may be wishing for a lot. The prodigious amounts of money (including Chinese state capital) pursuing these scientific gems is enough to break even the most resolute and lead them to pursue quite different goals.
«The prodigious amounts of money (including Chinese state capital) pursuing these scientific gems is enough to break even the most resolute and lead them to pursue quite different goals.»
"Largest theft in history" seems a good example.
But the money aspect is the least of the problems: the biggest problem is that many elites regard AIs as *weapons* of a strategic importance similar to missiles or nuclear ones and want to develop in their labs the nastiest most powerful AIs as WMDs but totally obedient to themselves.
«If Chinese developers keep building on Nvidia, the American ecosystem retains scale, influence, and visibility. Forcing them away does not stop development. It helps create a second ecosystem that the United States can neither control nor easily observe.»
To me it seems obvious that a really strategic goal of the USA strategists is to create two separate technical (and financial) ecosystems as soon as they can so that nothing produced in the "PRC sphere of influence" can easily compete with what is produced in the "USA ruler based system" :-).
That is well justified if a country shaping an ecosystem helps that country to dominate it economically and politically and it is expected that the PRC will shape most ecosystems because both of its size and policy goals.
