   Advisory groups, especially ones stacked with prominent individuals, are where concepts go to die. They’re taken straight from the financial services playbook. Anyone remember all those climate/finance advisory groups from 2020/21? They’re all defunct now, having achieved nothing.

      I don’t think Chinese models care one iota about any of these advisory groups. Even if they’re one year behind the curve, a year or two is a piss drop in the grand scheme of things.

         Who knows if they are behind or not?! Things like advanced math and advanced hacking require you to put a ton of effort into specifically training for those skills, and I've not seen any indication that the Chinese AI companies are interested in doing that - they seem more business focused.

      And the IAS in particular is an interesting choice given a community understanding that it prefers contemplation over problem-solving (e.g., paragraph 2 of this excerpt from Surely You&#x27;re Joking -- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;calteches.library.caltech.edu&#x2F;52&#x2F;2&#x2F;dignified.htm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;calteches.library.caltech.edu&#x2F;52&#x2F;2&#x2F;dignified.htm)
