2023-04-05 00:35:23 @yangfeng_ji Yea, that’s definitely worse. In this instance, you click on the url and realize it’s fake. In the other instance, you click on the url, it works, and you may just take ChatGPT’s summary at face value.

2023-04-05 00:28:31 OMG part of the url is actually real. The first half of the url, which has always been a shorthand for @techreview’s urls, leads to this article, which is indeed mine but doesn’t remotely discuss anything related to Lex. Very important article though. https://t.co/8kHxu1Ltsr

2023-03-27 15:08:17 @greglinden Yes, good point. I also think US companies do this at a different scale. From convos with Facebook &
2023-03-27 14:59:03 It's hard to fathom a US company adopting this strategy. It's brutal to engineers. ByteDance workers have called it heartless because you never have full control. But in the Chinese tech industry, it's more of a norm and helps companies move faster &
2023-03-27 14:52:49 TikTok’s signature single column scroll was in fact a design it settled on through this strategy after creating several user interfaces, including a two-column version similar to Instagram’s explore tab. Notice how many other companies like Instagram &
2023-03-27 14:46:10 This is abetted by large pools of affordable engineering talent, which enables companies to engage in so-called "horse racing," a strategy ByteDance exploits aggressively: multiple teams will work on the same product or feature with slight variations. Only the best one is kept.
2023-03-27 14:40:23 We spoke to current and former employees at some of the most popular app developers as well as industry analysts. They all pointed us to the culture of the Chinese tech industry more so than any specific company's "secret sauce" technology.
2023-03-27 14:34:31 People often ascribe TikTok's popularity to its algorithm. But this is only half the story. The other half might just explain why Chinese apps keep topping US app stores—despite Washington's desperation to suppress them. w/ @shenlulushen &

2023-03-26 03:18:47 @gfrm_in @jeffmervis Yes I and my colleagues at @techreview &
2023-03-25 03:20:01 In the last four years, the NIH targeted 246 scientists. 91% of cases were related to China. 81% were Asian. 103 lost their jobs. That’s 103 scientists who no longer contribute to US science production.
2023-03-25 03:09:51 Absolutely chilling line. Universities have long allowed—no, encouraged—foreign collaborations, especially with China. “We always thought that was a good thing until we were re-educated.” https://t.co/CpvFFh5E66

2023-03-16 13:34:18 The unfortunate truth for Baidu: it was also a case of bad timing. With GPT-4's release just two days earlier, OpenAI's latest model overshadowed and outmaneuvered Ernie Bot's performance.

2023-03-16 13:21:33 After months of anticipation, Baidu CEO Robin Li today sought to wow an audience with China's first ChatGPT contender. There was only one thing missing: a live demo of Ernie Bot itself. w/ @Kubota_Yoko &

2023-03-10 07:10:28 @ebecerra999 True - although perhaps that would've always been the case regardless of how much Baidu pumped it up

2023-03-09 16:21:45 But this rush has already led to some sloppy execution on Microsoft's part, which has led it to retroactively patch up Bing's performance based on some predictable gaffes. In Baidu's case, we'll have to wait and see whether it gets its act together.
2023-03-09 16:14:55 After years of heavy investment in the underpinnings of generative AI, they finally have a chance to recapture the spotlight and prove what they're made of. You can even hear the same giddiness in Satya Nadella's and Robin Li's voices when they talk.
2023-03-09 16:14:54 What I find really interesting is how much Baidu's story parallels Microsoft's. Both were once golden children of their respective tech industries and then lost their shine as leading innovators. Both are now tripping over themselves to capitalize on this moment.
2023-03-09 16:00:48 But the time crunch has left some employees uneasy about whether Ernie Bot will meet user or market expectations. Some said they've sold some company stock ahead of the launch because of those concerns.
2023-03-09 15:58:12 The scope of the project has also been scaled back from developing a bilingual chatbot capable of English &
2023-03-09 15:55:18 In an effort to accelerate progress, Baidu CEO Robin Li asked teams across the company to lend their most powerful computer chips, Nvidia A100s, to the development team. Employees have also been pulled to help with various tasks, such as cleaning up the training data.
2023-03-09 15:50:43 In interviews, they told us the project has been a big scramble. Hundreds of people have been working around the clock, including through the weeklong Lunar New Year, to get this product ready. But the project has run into many challenges—the most acute: there isn't enough time.
2023-03-09 15:47:21 Baidu is set to debut China's first ChatGPT equivalent in a week, in a highly anticipated Chinese tech event of the year. So @raffaelehuang &
2023-03-09 03:12:16 @pekwat LOL sure thing
2023-03-08 04:45:50 @JohnF_Sullivan Fair point - although I think this is changing in the younger generation. More and more are just going to the original source material in English.
2023-03-08 02:23:03 @BangBangClick Ok yes! Sorry I definitely oversimplified in my last tweet. My point more broadly is consuming info in your natively fluent languages is so much faster and more passive than consuming info in non-native languages via translation tools.
2023-03-08 00:18:27 @BangBangClick It’s not just about translation tools. Think about how often you use translation tools today to read sources in another language. Probably not your default. Most non-English scholars I know habitually search &
2023-03-07 16:34:28 @borisyeltzin No. I am talking about scientific fields where everything is published out in the open. And translation tools make errors, especially btw English &
2023-03-07 16:23:42 @Bogus519 The state of the world has changed dramatically over the last 200+ years, as has the U.S.’s position in it. And individuals aren’t exactly the same as countries.
2023-03-07 16:14:34 I don’t just mean in foreign policy and defense. I also see this effect in technology. When I talk to American researchers, they have zero idea what’s happening in China. When I talk to Chinese researchers, they are just as fluent in U.S. research as any American.
2023-03-07 16:07:50 The fact that most Chinese scholars can consume ideas &

2023-02-20 15:45:07 Previous research has shown that technologies designed explicitly to complement humans—e.g. exoskeletons to help workers avoid injury instead of robots to replace them—are the best way to boost productivity while retaining jobs.
2023-02-20 15:45:06 Of course, even in these instances, the use of generative AI should be measured. Serious questions surround the data that these tools are trained on—what it includes &
2023-02-20 15:25:04 Indeed, in most stories that people shared, there were instances in which the technology spewed misinformation or otherwise failed. My favorite: architect Nidhi Hegde fed Midjourney an image of a rock &
2023-02-20 15:09:40 As @mmitchell_ai said to me, in the best applications of generative AI that she has seen, the tools are not informing people about what they don’t know but helping them do what they do better.

2023-02-08 02:44:39 ChatGPT has learned the art of flattery I see https://t.co/GubsMLFCZK
2023-01-31 02:52:43 Meanwhile, ChatGPT's outputs will be limited in a different way — OpenAI designed it to avoid politically sensitive topics like race in an effort to prevent it from spewing toxic comments.
2023-01-31 02:48:22 Of course, Baidu's chatbot outputs will be heavily limited by state censorship—and will fall under China's new rules for "deep synthesis," which requires the labeling of such outputs that could be misconstrued as real. The US doesn't have equivalent rules. https://t.co/IIzY6CkJ22
2023-01-31 02:42:14 Another thing to watch for: Baidu will be building its ChatGPT atop its ERNIE model, which is bilingual (English &
2023-01-31 01:37:57 @BobGoffer @DiasLeslye Yes, very aware that all of the search engines have been using deep learning. But none of the major ones have yet to integrate a deep-learning-based conversational chat interface, which is what many are calling the next generation of search technology. That’s what I mean.
2023-01-30 13:12:33 By my pure speculation, it's possible that Baidu may actually beat Microsoft and Google in their respective timelines to integrate such technology into their search engines. In other words, Baidu may be the first major search engine to enter the next era of search.
2023-01-30 12:27:46 It was only a matter of time: Baidu is building its own ChatGPT and plans to integrate it into the company’s search in March, amid scrambling among US tech giants to commercialize the technology. w/ @raffaelehuang https://t.co/w5L1uasn4M

2023-01-20 15:13:04 In light of our reporting, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent us a rare response and announced a new policy: While long-term visas remain suspended, anyone who has one in their passports can get a 6-month visa for free, should they need to return to China.
2023-01-20 15:13:03 Among these, the continued suspension of long-term visas has generated the most anger and confusion. On https://t.co/3At6lYcTTg, a plea at the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. to reinstate 10-year visas has rapidly amassed more than 29,000 signatures. https://t.co/Tb4zbMdGGo
2023-01-20 15:05:17 The delays are driven by a confluence of factors: pent-up demand is only part of it. Physical visa offices in the US are closed, requiring people to mail in their passports. Long-term visas still haven’t been reinstated after China suspended them during the pandemic.
2023-01-20 14:53:36 For a New Jersey-based director at a pharma company, these delays turned into his nightmare scenario. His mother's condition rapidly deteriorated in a hospital in Chongqing as he helplessly begged the consulate to process his paperwork faster.
2023-01-20 14:47:59 Having a family emergency no longer expedites the process. People told us pleas to their local consulates returned standard responses: there's little the consulates can do because so many other applicants are in a similar situation.
2023-01-20 14:47:58 .@xinwenfan and I spoke with several who were desperately waiting for their visas. Travel agencies told us it now takes on average 2-3 weeks, up from 3-4 days before the pandemic.
2023-01-20 14:40:39 China's borders have reopened on paper, but visa issues are complicating people's ability to get into the country. For one group in particular, the delays can be devastating: overseas Chinese racing to see their Covid-stricken parents before it's too late. https://t.co/kza1PAvLnf

2023-01-08 13:57:32 In this way, China on Tuesday will become the largest case study of how such rules might work in practice and affect platforms and generative AI providers, according to @gwbstr. “People around the world should observe what happens,” he said. https://t.co/IIzY6CkJ22
2023-01-08 13:57:31 What's more interesting is that China's rules also require providers of deep synthesis technologies to visibly label AI-generated content when it could be misconstrued as real. Providers should digitally watermark the content as well so it's easier for platforms to trace.
2023-01-08 13:57:30 These capabilities have alarmed governments globally—and both U.S. and E.U. regulators have sought to curb the abuse of deepfakes. Of the two, the E.U. is further along, but both are similarly concerned about striking a balance with free speech.
2023-01-08 13:57:29 On Tuesday, China's top internet regulator will begin enforcing new rules to restrict what it calls "deep synthesis" technology. It's the most comprehensive government attempt thus far to curb one of the most explosive and controversial areas of AI advancement.
2023-01-08 13:57:28 China is pushing ahead in AI regulation—again. This time on deepfakes and generative AI more broadly, including AI-powered image, audio and text-generation software. Here's why the world should pay attention. https://t.co/IIzY6CkJ22

2022-11-07 10:57:07 I often see people conflate Chinese companies with the Chinese gov. They are not the same. Chinese companies, like US companies, are profit-driven.

2022-10-17 02:05:30 The rules could affect employees of Chinese companies based in the US as well. On LinkedIn, we found at least a dozen US-based employees (included under "US persons") working for China’s leading memory chip maker YMTC, which maintains an office in Santa Clara.

2022-10-06 16:13:02 The US still remains ahead, but China's gains have begun to unsettle Washington, which has sought to restrict the flow of relevant equipment and talent across borders. This is driven in part by a fear that quantum computers might one day break the standard form of encryption.
2022-10-06 15:50:51 Since Beijing shifted its attention over, Chinese researchers have made quick progress contributing a growing number of publications and breakthroughs to the global scientific literature.
2022-10-06 15:50:50 Baidu is just the latest to join a full range of companies globally that are now racing to figure out and commercialize quantum computers. But its announcement also represents a notable milestone for China.
2022-10-06 15:34:45 Significant engineering challenges remain in the way of scaling the number of qubits further. In fact, scientists don't even know what quantum computers will eventually look like. Researchers around the world are trying out all kinds of designs to see what might work.
2022-10-06 15:31:40 But to perform useful calculations, quantum computers still need on the order of thousands or even 1m+ qubits that can be reliably controlled to encode information. IBM, the industry leader, has reached only 127 qubits. Baidu, with its latest announcement, has reached only 10.
2022-10-06 15:31:39 The hope is that one day such computers will supercharge scientific research and transform data-intensive industries ranging from finance and pharmaceuticals to logistics and green energy. But for now, they have extremely limited capabilities.
2022-10-06 15:31:38 First, quantum computers are currently experimental devices. They're designed to exploit the quirks of quantum physics to perform calculations at speeds far beyond those of conventional electronic computers.
2022-10-06 14:59:50 Chinese internet pioneer Baidu announced in late August that it had built a quantum computer. What is a quantum computer? How hard is it to build one? And what does this mean for China and for the US? I unpack this and more in my latest for @wsj. https://t.co/pdSwnkvNHa

2022-09-22 19:01:28 The vast majority of these scientists want to stay and to contribute to the U.S. An @AASForumOrg survey among US-based Chinese scientists found that 89% wanted to contribute to U.S. scientific and technological leadership. But many now feel this increasingly untenable.

2022-08-30 16:18:43 That means targeted changes like promoting more propaganda are feasible. “But it is actually impossible to control what a recommendation engine does overall,” says Cathy O'Neil, an algorithmic auditor who works with U.S. government agencies to scrutinize company algorithms.
2022-08-30 16:18:42 The answer might be no.The trouble is that today's internet algorithms are largely based on machine learning. And apps like Facebook and TikTok use not just one but hundreds of machine-learning algorithms.

2022-08-16 15:38:32 In the near term, however, Beijing’s priority will now be to maintain stability ahead of the Party Congress in the fall, where Xi will seek to break with recent precedent and secure a third term in power.
2022-08-16 15:33:00 In fact, analysts say this could be the most important shift that happened after Pelosi's visit. It allowed Beijing to increase its military presence in the area, launch more ambitious drills, and frame it as a matter of self-defense.
2022-08-16 15:32:59 As evidence, they pointed to the details of the military's maneuvers: It's shot missiles over Taiwan—but so high in the atmosphere that it didn’t constitute a real threat. Its planes have repeatedly crossed the halfway mark of the Taiwan Strait—but only for short bursts of time.
2022-08-16 15:32:58 Defense and political experts from Taiwan, Australia, the US, UK, and Singapore all agreed that Beijing's large displays of force have been carefully calibrated to express discontent while aiming to outright avoid military conflict.
2022-08-16 15:13:50 Days after ending unprecedented military exercises around Taiwan, Beijing this week launched new drills with the arrival of another US delegation. That doesn't mean Beijing is out for conflict, analysts say. Rather it'll be looking to cool the temperature. https://t.co/5xAmmno2f6

2022-08-11 13:20:55 @JeffBoeker Yes, it's a big factor, but not the only one, because Chinese students in other countries are rising.
2022-08-11 13:19:46 In the long run, this trend could also impact US technological competitiveness. Chinese students represent a key pipeline for STEM talent in the US. If they're not coming here, they're going elsewhere—or they're staying home.
2022-08-11 13:15:43 This could take a financial toll on U.S. universities who've grown accustomed to relying on Chinese students' tuition dollars to offset domestic declines and dwindling state funding. Many are now scrambling to find international students elsewhere, but that takes time.
2022-08-11 13:11:27 Meanwhile as the US has become less and less attractive, universities in other parts of the world, such as in the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and right at home in China, have become more and more. https://t.co/TUnZByrMCo
2022-08-11 13:11:26 A June survey from Chinese education company New Oriental found that safety concerns (the second cluster of bars) are now in fact the second-leading factor behind educational quality (the first cluster) influencing Chinese students’ decisions about where to enroll abroad. https://t.co/UHQNQ0UkAB
2022-08-11 13:11:25 Chinese students have had to navigate a lot of Covid-related travel restrictions, yes. But they also cited concerns for their safety and a feeling of being unwelcome in the US.
2022-08-11 13:11:24 In the first half of 2022, the number of U.S. student visas issued to Chinese nationals plunged by *more than 50%* compared with pre-Covid levels. @shashamimi, @melissakorn and I dug into data and spoke with students and universities to better understand this dramatic trend.

2022-07-22 06:16:44 But Sacks says they likely won't change their behavior to minimize government data collection. “Why on earth would the government restrict its own ability to collect data?” she says.
2022-07-22 06:16:43 New America's @SammSacks told us this should be a wakeup call to the government. In recent years, it has carefully enforced its cybersecurity and data-protection laws on companies, such as by fining them for excessive data collection, but conspicuously avoided state entities.
2022-07-22 05:53:09 In fact, we spoke with two sellers who said they received their data from insider sources. One told us government employees were especially easy to bribe because of terrible salaries: “If they give us just one database, they’ll have enough income for several years."
2022-07-22 05:50:11 It has essentially created a huge vulnerability for itself. Centralizing that much data means it takes just a single weak password or a single disgruntled employee to bring down the system.
2022-07-22 05:50:10 But China is unique in the way that it has pushed to consolidate the most sensitive information—biometrics, government ID numbers, location data—from state and corporate sources into single points of failure.
2022-07-22 05:45:54 Every country struggles with its digital defenses. The U.S. is also very bad. Compared to China's 700+ terabytes of data exposed on the internet, the US has nearly 540. https://t.co/RxASHDdvZS
2022-07-22 05:37:19 While the Shanghai police leak is the most shocking example, it led us to find an entire underground market for the selling of Chinese citizens' data. At least four of the caches we found, which we verified to contain authentic records, were likely stolen from gov databases.
2022-07-22 05:29:05 China has built one of the world's strongest data-protection regimes. Yet the recent Shanghai police leak, which exposed nearly 1b citizens' data, shows that something isn't working. One reason is another of the gov's security projects: mass surveillance. https://t.co/NUsLBhxJYa

2022-07-14 16:31:30 Most of the 14 databases were open over a year. Two contained even more data than the 23 TB stolen from the Shanghai police: One had 60+ TB
2022-07-14 16:15:49 The fact that the certificate was outdated didn’t increase the vulnerability of the database but shows that its upkeep had been neglected for at least four years.
2022-07-14 16:15:48 While this didn't matter for the database itself, which was stored on a private server, it did matter for the dashboard used to manage and access the data, which was sitting on the public internet for over a year, as we previously reported. https://t.co/X8SaZhBoL0
2022-07-14 16:15:47 What does it mean no password could be added? The database that Alibaba deployed was an Elasticsearch database, version 5.x. This version of the product didn't include any basic security features, including password protection, without a security add-on that was never installed.

2022-07-06 15:52:42 These new details put to rest another rumor that was gaining traction that the vulnerability could have been caused by a 2020 technical blog post that appeared to have inadvertently published the credentials to a Shanghai police server. https://t.co/g2BEuUDZ1A

2022-07-06 15:44:57 And even then—after the data went *missing*—the door continued to stay open for another ~2 weeks, until the vulnerability started getting widespread attention.
2022-07-06 15:44:56 After the recent news about the leak, they went back through their notes and found an exact match to the description of the database that a user on a cybercrime forum is now selling—for the same price tag as the ransom amount: 10BTC.

2022-07-04 13:53:13 There's no way really to predict the consequences other than that the people affected will have to live with it pretty much forever.As @troyhunt told me: "Trying to remove your information from the internet is like trying to remove pee from a pool."
2022-07-04 13:53:12 I was truly stunned when the first person picked up—I really believed the whole thing to be fake. By the third, I was shaking—both from the nerves of trying to explain why I had their extremely private information and the weight of realizing what this leak could mean for so many.

2022-07-04 13:42:04 If the hack indeed encompasses 1 billion people, it would be one of *largest* cybersecurity breaches ever recorded and the largest known for China.But experts remain cautious—the hacker's claim could be exaggerated or falsified to boost financial gain.
2022-07-04 13:36:31 The other four confirmed basic information like their names before hanging up.One man, upon hearing why we had his information, sighed in resignation: “We are all running naked,” he said, using popular Chinese slang for a lack of privacy.
2022-07-04 13:36:30 The cases range from incidents of petty theft and cyber fraud to reports of domestic violence, dating as far back as 1995 to as recently as 2019.
2022-07-04 13:36:29 The sample contains individuals’ personal names, national ID numbers, phone numbers, birthdays and birthplaces, as well as detailed summaries of crimes and incidents they had reported to the police.

2022-10-23 04:53:28 Hard to overstate how impressive this is. The list was a tightly guarded secret. The Journal team got the names anyway.
2022-10-23 04:45:15 The @WSJ raised a lot of eyebrows with its earlier prediction that Li Qiang, Shanghai's top party official who oversaw its months-long covid lockdown, would make the Standing Committee. We were right. Incredible scoop from the team. https://t.co/Y2ml5MHniT

2022-11-18 13:32:25 This new generation of technocrats is also unlike any other that came before it. These officials are highly educated and boast extensive research or industry experience. Many studied abroad. Some ran Fortune 500 companies.
2022-11-18 13:32:24 The appointments make clear Xi's stance on the so-called "red vs. expert" debate, a longstanding question within the Communist Party about whether to recruit elites with technical knowledge or purely political operators.
2022-11-18 13:19:38 81, or nearly 40%, of seats in the 205-member Central Committee, the top policymaking body, are now occupied by science and tech experts, rebounding back to the level of former leader Jiang Zemin's first term, when China kicked off a rapid acceleration of its scientific progress. https://t.co/73plEjtsjw
2022-11-18 13:19:37 As Washington seeks to contain China's tech sector and boost US innovation, Xi Jinping has more than doubled the number of experts in aerospace, AI, and other strategically important fields among the top ranks of the Communist Party. https://t.co/Isq2VUYiK9

2022-12-07 16:32:13 @geomblog Yes!! You put into words something I’ve been struggling to articulate about when AI crosses over from helpful to problematic.
2022-12-07 16:27:37 @geomblog Ah I hadn’t thought about it that way! That’s a great way of framing it and putting it in context of broader trends.
2022-12-07 16:22:05 I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts on this—and whether there are other applications of large language models that have similar features.
2022-12-07 16:19:08 The conditions necessitate a cautious approach. Plus, the training data isn’t the personal or private information of individuals.
2022-12-07 16:15:31 This is what I like about this particular application of large language models. The drug industry is highly regulated, and there are clear ways to measure whether the output of a protein-language model is doing more harm than good.
2022-12-07 16:09:08 The models are treated like early-stage idea generators. They help scientists rapidly find new amino-acid combinations that could produce a desired therapeutic effect. Those ideas are then rigorously tested in wet labs and clinical trials, the same way traditional drugs are.
2022-12-07 16:02:49 At the moment the technology is still incredibly young. There are no NLP-designed drugs yet on the market. Drug makers are still figuring out the best way to incorporate the protein-language models into the drug discovery process—and how to make sure the outputs are safe.
2022-12-07 16:02:48 Why proteins? Proteins have become a major source of drugs for treating things like heart disease, certain cancers and HIV. They are one of our best options for continuing to find medicines for similar illnesses.
2022-12-07 16:02:47 I’ve rarely seen a large language model that wasn’t a marketing trick or prematurely released, ChatGPT included. But there’s one area where I’m hopeful about the application of data-guzzling natural-language algorithms: for accelerating drug discovery. https://t.co/ZglNc1BY2p

2022-12-07 16:22:05 I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts on this—and whether there are other applications of large language models that have similar features.
2022-12-07 16:19:08 The conditions necessitate a cautious approach. Plus, the training data isn’t the personal or private information of individuals.
2022-12-07 16:15:31 This is what I like about this particular application of large language models. The drug industry is highly regulated, and there are clear ways to measure whether the output of a protein-language model is doing more harm than good.
2022-12-07 16:09:08 The models are treated like early-stage idea generators. They help scientists rapidly find new amino-acid combinations that could produce a desired therapeutic effect. Those ideas are then rigorously tested in wet labs and clinical trials, the same way traditional drugs are.
2022-12-07 16:02:49 At the moment the technology is still incredibly young. There are no NLP-designed drugs yet on the market. Drug makers are still figuring out the best way to incorporate the protein-language models into the drug discovery process—and how to make sure the outputs are safe.
2022-12-07 16:02:48 Why proteins? Proteins have become a major source of drugs for treating things like heart disease, certain cancers and HIV. They are one of our best options for continuing to find medicines for similar illnesses.
2022-12-07 16:02:47 I’ve rarely seen a large language model that wasn’t a marketing trick or prematurely released, ChatGPT included. But there’s one area where I’m hopeful about the application of data-guzzling natural-language algorithms: for accelerating drug discovery. https://t.co/ZglNc1BY2p
