NYT: Protect America’s lead in the A.I. race.

“China is working hard to catch up, and the United States should take steps to keep its advantage. Most important, it should continue to prohibit American companies from selling the most advanced chips and equipment to China.”

— The editorial board

Ridiculous piece from the Times on blaming Trump for China's recent AI breakthroughs and basically saying "China bad, America good". (I abhor Trump and everything he stands for, but it seems the Times is showing their hand as an America-First institution).
They also might be writing this in hopes that OpenAI and Anthropic win so they can squeeze as much money out of them for copyright lawsuits.
