But across the globe, China works in parallel, under different politics, with different intentions. Today, I&#39;m speaking with Steve Hsu about this mysterious counterpart in the AI race.

As Western researchers obsess over the AGI apocalypse, are their Chinese counterparts free from such existential handwringing?</p><p><a href="https://open.substack.com/users/87294167-steve-hsu?utm_source=mentions">Steve Hsu</a> is a physicist, an academic serial deep tech founder - Genomic Prediction, Othram, and SuperFocus - and a 21st-century Rennaisance man.
