A Eye on AI - 12:30 PM
This episode covers China's aggressive AI expansion, with over 70 operational embodied-AI training grounds and a diplomatic push to win over Southeast Asian nations, as Beijing contrasts its inclusive AI organization with the US-led Pax Silica. We break down Alibaba's latest earnings, revealing a 45% surge in AI cloud revenue to RMB48.44 billion alongside a 76% plunge in net income, highlighting the massive $56 billion infrastructure bet. Plus, we look at how San Francisco startup Harvey adopted China's open-weight Kimi K3 model, and the backlash against top YouTubers for undisclosed AI promotions.
