Trump is seen as more business and tech friendly. The Biden administration has strained relations with Silicon Valley since 2020 with regulatory crackdowns on AI and cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I believe there is another threat helping to drive this switch in big tech allegiance from Democrats to Republicans,&nbsp;<strong>a concern we may be heading towards a new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sputnik_crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sputnik crisis<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 a foreign scientific breakthrough which threatens the tech dominance of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Except this time the Sputnik moment could be&nbsp;<strong>China building the world\u2019s first&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Artificial_general_intelligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">superhuman AI<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t have proof China is on the verge of a major breakthrough, though there is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/RegData\/etudes\/ATAG\/2021\/696206\/EPRS_ATA(2021)696206_EN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plenty of evidence China is trying hard to develop advanced AI<\/a>. But right now, China is the only nation which has the energy surplus required to attempt to create an AI which has more than human capabilities using today\u2019s technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine trying to build a modern desktop computer using primitive 1930s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vacuum_tube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vacuum tube<\/a>&nbsp;technology. Such an effort would require a vast acreage of machinery, big teams of scientists and engineers, and gigawatts of energy to power and air condition billions of vacuum tubes, along with a crazy amount of funding to pay for everything. When completed the vacuum tube system wouldn\u2019t be exactly the same as a modern computer. But with sufficient political will and investment of effort it would have been possible to build a machine which rivalled the capability of modern desktop computers, a computer with capabilities decades more advanced than anything which was actually built back in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right now, today, we are in a similar position to that hypothetical 1930s supercomputer project when it comes to possible paths towards rapid development of an AI superintelligence \u2013 but only China currently has the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2024\/01\/18\/chinas-2023-coal-output-hits-record-high\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">surplus energy<\/a>&nbsp;and manufacturing capacity to attempt such a brute force approach to building a superhuman AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The USA is not currently in a position to attempt such a project, because green energy policies have robbed the USA of its once bountiful energy surplus, by driving chronic underinvestment in new dispatchable grid capacity.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2024\/04\/19\/connecticut-nuclear-data-center-controversy-exposes-tech-giant-renewable-hypocricy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Biden\u2019s energy starved USA is a hostile environment for energy hungry tech entrepreneurs, there are major political upheavals whenever a tech giant tries to draw more power from the grid<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If China succeeds in creating a machine which can outthink humans, or worse has already succeeded, the USA will only have a narrow window of opportunity to catch up before it is all over \u2013 like maybe four years with a president in charge who understands the issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The longer China preserves its advantage, the worse things would become for the USA and anyone else who tries to compete. If China is able to iterate enough improvements into their artificial intelligence system, without anyone else being in a position to play catchup, very quickly the AI itself would start playing a major role in its own improvement, and we could face an exponential surge in intelligence capability, with each 6-12 month upgrade cycle doubling the capability of the previous system, which then harnessed that greater capability to design the next upgrade. In less than a decade China\u2019s AI advantage could become insurmountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Trying to beat China in business or geopolitics would become like trying to beat that chess app on your PC which always kicks your butt.&nbsp;<\/strong>Whoever had access to that super intelligent AI would always make smarter moves than the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Am I right about an approaching Chinese AI Sputnik moment? I just don\u2019t know. But one thing for sure, something has spooked US big tech. It might just be concerns over Biden\u2019s regulatory crackdown and looming energy shortages putting them at a competitive disadvantage. Or maybe I\u2019m right about the risk of a Chinese breakthrough. Even without a Sputnik level breakthrough, China\u2019s energy surplus, electronics industry, and political will to prioritise realising China\u2019s potential as a global superpower has put the USA\u2019s commanding position in this space at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Biden is not in a position to deliver the 10s of gigawatts of affordable new generation capacity US tech giants desperately need to challenge China\u2019s credible bid for global tech dominance. Biden\u2019s renewable energy obsession and heavy handed approach to tech regulation are hobbling the US tech industry, just when they need every resource they can muster to compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My prediction \u2013 President Trump is about to reap the reward, for being the right man in the right place at the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Update (EW): Updated the \u201csurplus energy\u201d link from a link about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/economy\/china-economy\/article\/3257242\/chinas-excess-clean-energy-production-likely-only-temporary-former-central-bank-chief-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">excess renewable energy<\/a>&nbsp;to a link about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2024\/01\/18\/chinas-2023-coal-output-hits-record-high\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">China\u2019s coal boom<\/a>.
