ChatGPT came out in 2022, and the Chinese government declared AI infrastructure a national priority. Over 500 new data centres were announced in 2023 and 2024. Private investors went all-in. Demand…

    If that’s true, is there any cheap compute provider leveraging the low cost and providing service to customers abroad?

      If you can hack these data centers you can even get the compute for free. How good are these Chinese centers at cyber-security?

        Probably not entirely secure. We had things like this happening: https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/26/leaked-data-exposes-a-chinese-ai-censorship-machine/

        But they’re not stupid. They have scientists, IT experts… And I’d think twice before going head-to-head with the Chinese authorities.

    Pure Propaganda. Not a single source in the original article. Nonsense…

      There are quite literally references through the entire document.

      Here is a notable one:

      Fang, Li, and multiple on-the-ground sources, who asked to speak anonymously for fear of political repercussions.

        Methings someone doesn’t understand what “evidence” and “sources” are.

          It’s an investigative report that has investigative information. Believe it, or don’t. Whatever.

          I am more inclined to believe it because of the rabid tankie response declaring it propaganda. And cummon… the standards for fact verification on ml are super low.

      Large Language Models are perfect to generate propaganda and surveil social media activities globally.
