Why does the linked article merit our attention?

  • It does not contain anything to justify the quote, which is the article's sub-headline. Journalists typically do not write their own headlines, but there is a near quote of the sub-headline in the body of the article. It is not elaborated on by the text around it.

  • It is written by a Chinese former politician in a Chinese-owned newspaper.

  • Whether or not LLMs contributed to the content, it is just as foggy and platitudinous as if one had written the entire thing. It expresses nothing but warm, content-free fuzziness towards the Chinese government in the context of AI.

So that answer your question "Why does the linked article merit our attention?" right?

No. Nothing but soft CCP-approved platitudes can be expected from such a person writing in such a venue. That is her job. China matters, but not everything that it says matters, unless to Pekingologists minutely examining the tea-leaves for insight into whatever is really going on in China.

What about my other two points?

... I don't agree, but would it at least be relevant that the "soft CCP-approved platitudes" are now AI-safetyist?
