Trump downplays warnings of AI risks, citing rivalry with China
""You have a lot of very negative forces that are bringing it up that shouldn't be bringing it up and they're bringing up things that won't happen," Trump said"
--- Good that the moron ... er ... Trump is at the same time an AI expert and a perfect fortune teller.
"Trump did not directly address the idea, but said: "We're leading China on AI... and, frankly, I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI, wins.""
--- If you win in an extinction event, do you win?
"The Anthropic CEO said any slowdown would have to be limited to avoid allowing China to pull ahead."
--- And there's the actual problem.
Anthropic’s Amodei says China presents ‘toughest dilemma’ for his proposed AI slowdown
"“The more long-term thing would be working together to put a speed limit on the rate of of AI progress,” Amodei told CBS News’ “Sunday Morning.” “I think that’s going to be very difficult because the incentives to pull ahead and the military advantage that you get from that are so large. And honestly, I don’t know if it’s possible, but we should try.”"
--- It is not possible, because even if China would agree to a slowdown, it would never stick to such an agreement. You simply cannot trust China.
"Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday called for a “consensus-based global AI governance framework” at the BRICS bloc summit in India and said China will help establish a BRICS AI open-source community."
--- Translation: 'We will provide you with AI packages with included CCP censorship and which will be directly reporting everything back to China.'
China criticises idea it is in 'malicious competition' over AI
"China has hit out against what it has called "threat narratives" over AI governance and warned against "engaging in confrontation and malicious competition""
--- Yes, exactly. These threat narratives are ridiculous, because China has a perfect record of researching risks and keeping them under control. Cough ... covid ... cough ...
""All parties should work together to advance AI in a manner that is open, inclusive, beneficial to all, and oriented toward the good,""
"But Beijing, including Chinese leader Xi Jinping himself, has also spoken about the risks posed by AI. China must "balance development and security", and introduce and improve relevant laws and ethical guidelines, and strengthen prevention of risks, to "safeguard the interests of the people and national security", state security minister Chen Yixin wrote on Sunday"
--- Yeah, and which AI risks is the CCP really afraid of? Let's see:
China’s intelligence chief just gave a revealing glimpse into what Beijing fears most about AI
"Chen Yixin, China's minister of state security, published an article Sunday morning in China Cyberspace, a journal run by the Cyberspace Administration of China, the country's internet regulator. In it, Chen identified six major risks AI could pose to Beijing. The first was "regime security." He wrote that "various hostile forces and malicious individuals abuse generative AI technologies — such as deepfake audio and video, AI-generated images and text, and intelligent online armies — to produce political rumors at low cost and in large quantities." Those tools can "spread harmful information, incite antagonistic emotions, and wage a war of public opinion and cognitive warfare," posing direct threats to China's political, institutional, and ideological security"
--- AI might be used to criticise a CCP, oh my. The worst danger of them all.
"Chen also said AI should be developed "with the wellbeing of all humanity as its guiding principle." He added, too, that global powers must "resolutely resist hegemonism, technological barriers, and exclusive blocs," and work to set up a "fair and open international AI rules system.""
Beijing bans drone possession in the city after earlier moves to tighten rules
"according to the revised regulations approved this month, which will be effective from Nov. 15, the possession or storage of drones or key components within Beijing's city limits will also be banned. The revised rules were released Sunday by authorities. [...] Drone users can still fly drones outdoors in other parts of the country, but real name registrations are required. Beijing, the Chinese capital, often has more stringent security rules than other parts of China."
--- Because almost all the CCP bigwigs are in Beijing, and you are not supposed to see anything they do.
Trump says he would be OK with China building cars in US
""If China wanted to come in and open a plant to build their cars here, I'd be okay with that," Trump said in an interview on the Fox News program "The Ingraham Angle." "Japan does it, but they hire our people. The big thing is they hire our people,""
--- Moron. Doesn't he understand that the real danger is not for US employment, but the fact that all these cars are connected to the internet, and have loads and loads of cameras?
German firms lift China investment as US outlays fall, IW study shows
"German companies increased investment in China by a third in the first half of 2026 while sharply reducing investment in the United States"
--- De-risking with German characteristics.
""For Germany, this means production and jobs are shifting to China," Matthes said. "The EU should put a stop to this unfair game and impose countervailing tariffs on Chinese imports.""
--- And finally the German government is feeling the pain in German polls. So maybe they will change something in their approach?

Anthropic fordert KI-Bremse: China spricht von einem "Kalten Krieg"
"Ein Sprecher des chinesischen Außenministeriums erklärte, dass Konfrontation und bösartiger Wettbewerb den Prozess der globalen KI-Verwaltung nur stören würden. Das nütze letztlich niemandem. Die staatliche Zeitung Global Times warf den USA vor, mit technologischen Barrieren ein Monopol aufrechterhalten zu wollen."
--- Nanu? Aus China hört man doch immer wieder, dass die dortigen KI-Modelle eigentlich schon besser sind als die amerikanischen. Wie können die USA dann ein Monopol haben?
"Amodei argumentiert hingegen, dass ein chinesischer Vorsprung in der KI-Forschung eine unmittelbare Gefahr für die globale Sicherheit darstellen würde."
--- Davon darf man ausgehen. Und zwar nicht nur in dem Sinne, dass die Chinesen mit der KI spionieren oder angreifen können, sondern dass sie eben auch die Kontrolle verlieren können. Wir haben ja gesehen, was in chinesischen Labors passiert, wenn sie an Risiken forschen, siehe Covid.
Volksrepublik als Fitnesscenter? Deutsche Unternehmen steigern China-Investitionen deutlich
"Deutsche Unternehmen haben ihre Investitionen in China einer Studie zufolge im ersten Halbjahr deutlich hochgefahren. Sie investierten rund 5,6 Milliarden Euro zusätzlich in der Volksrepublik, wie aus einer Auswertung von Bundesbank-Daten durch das arbeitgebernahe Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft in Köln (IW) hervorgeht. Der Betrag liegt rund ein Drittel über dem des Vorjahreszeitraums."
--- Man will einfach nicht lernen.
""Für Deutschland heißt das: Produktion und Arbeitsplätze wandern nach China ab", betonte der IW-Experte. "Die EU sollte diesem unfairen Spiel einen Riegel vorschieben und Ausgleichszölle auf chinesische Importe erheben.""
--- Korrekt.
"Die Bundesregierung will nun Vorschläge erarbeiten, um auf die Handelsungleichgewichte zu reagieren. Die Position Deutschlands dürfte auch die Haltung der gesamten Europäischen Union prägen"
--- Mal sehen, was dabei herauskommt. Bisher hat Deutschland ja eher gebremst.
China fordert mehr Einsatz für Frieden
" Auf dem Treffen der Staats- und Regierungschefs der BRICS-Länder in Neu-Delhi hat Chinas Präsident Xi mehr Einsatz für Frieden im Nahen Osten gefordert. Man müsse "auf der richtigen Seite der Geschichte" stehen, sagte er. Chinas Staatschef Xi Jinping hat beim BRICS-Gipfel die führenden Schwellenländer dazu aufgerufen, beim Krieg in Nahost eine Rolle als Friedensvermittler zu übernehmen. China sei bereit, gemeinsam mit den BRICS-Mitgliedern seinen Teil zur Herstellung von Frieden und Stabilität beizutragen"
--- Man beachte, dass Russland ein Mitglied bei BRICS ist.
