@1:08 - The guy said he earns a max of RMB6000 and an average of RMB3000+ a month, but the subtitle states $894 and $447 respectively (I'm assuming USD but its not specified). Just my opinion but this could possibly be misleading for people who don't speak Chinese, are unfamiliar with USD:RMB exchange rates or the average cost of living in that part of China?

AI in India is most advance in the world. It surpassed US and China.

[susanapal]

Actually we Americans are far superior in the world shrn it comes to trchnology. How about our AI in NVIDIA Servers? We are way ahead on everything.

after age 35 the factories send the men back to the farms. they're discarded.

[StrideSteel]

u.s is losing out because most of the immigrants here are the poorest from Mexico only they were from Asia then u.s wouldn't be this far behind

[donwheeler]

AI will be the end of humanity. I’m glad they only make chump change for what they do. His work will eliminate his own job. Chinese are clueless as to what their creating.

Prospect of his job: in a few years, the AI's will be well-trained enough to take over most of the factory jobs, he will be out of work and try to steal something in the streets, and caught by the very AI he helped training. Real dope shit!
