Ankit Gupta(@agupta):in china, there are ~10 frontier AI labs, about half of them the offshoot of a money printer (Tencent, Bytedence, Alibaba, etc) and the other half of them new startups. America has the startups, but has very few money-printer-attached labs. It's really just Meta, Google, and sort of nvidia. why is an IBM or Cisco or Netflix or amazon frontier AI lab not a thing (w/ actually shipped products not just a research team).
