I hope this makes you smile as much as it did for me.
The image shows a round, fluffy black cat with large, striking yellow eyes looking up at the camera. The cat is seated on a light-colored tiled floor and against a white wall. The cat’s fur is smooth and glossy, creating a stark contrast with its bright eyes. There are two beige letters, "F" and "D," superimposed on the image. The "F" is placed near the cat's left eye, and the "D" near its right eye.

China just made huge strides in Generative AI. Weekend long read on what all that means, politically & technically.

• What does this mean for OpenAI, StarGate & Nvidia?
• How did China manage to catch up so quickly?
• Is this race a good thing?
• Any hope for the US to regain a clear lead?
The race for "AI Supremacy" is over — at least for now.
Decades of government kowtowing to Big Tech has thus far failed to produce a decisive victory
