Kyle Chan(@kyleichan):Trump is not AGI-pilled. He boasts that AI could be “possibly as much as 25% of our Country’s GDP.” That’s all. In some ways, he shares the same view of AI as China’s leaders. They see AI as a powerful technology, like the internet, but don’t expect an AI takeoff. Thus, they both see no need for a slowdown.
