Vinod Khosla on AI competition with China
From Khosla to Elon Musk: You Can't Sue Your Way Into AGI · · Bloomberg Technology
“The argument is really about our competition, our techno economic war with China, which I've talked about before. And if we have powerful technology, we should be open sourcing it and giving it to China and other bad nation states. Russia, North Korea among them. And they're benefiting a lot from the state of the art open source. I'm still a big fan of open source in almost all other areas, including other areas of A.I., which are not state of the art technology.”

About Vinod Khosla
Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, has recently argued that artificial intelligence will fundamentally reshape labor, healthcare, and energy. He stated that within a few years robotics will have its "ChatGPT moment," reducing the cost of human expertise and labor to a dollar or two an hour. Khosla said AI doctors are already superior to human doctors and predicted that by 2030 only 10% of doctors will be needed. He proposed offering free AI-powered primary care in India for roughly a dollar a month per person. He also expressed optimism that AI could help make fusion energy viable within two years. On policy, Khosla described the U.S. as being in a "techno-economic war" with China and said he wants to be "as hawkish as possible" on technology exports. He called for a single tax rate on capital gains and ordinary income, with the first $100,000 of income exempted for 125 million Americans. Khosla also made remarks about religion, saying he does not understand why rational people believe in God, and criticized the Catholic Church's use of funds. He described himself as favoring a guaranteed basic lifestyle provided by government alongside capitalist opportunity.
