Good thing I've just accepted a faculty position outside the US.
I'll get to move to a country that doesn't persecute academics and I think I'm just beating the crowds on the way out.
Where are you going? I'm currently on last yr of PhD and thinking of leaving, but I don't know if I should abandon the PhD to leave or not. I'd like to finish it, at least do it remotely, but chances of finding work immediately after PhD are slim.

Outlawing Chinese AI in the USA might seem like a "straightforward solution", but it could have unintended consequences: escalation, underground development, and missed opportunities. At the end of the day, the goal should be to protect human rights and promote transparency, not just in the US or China, but around the world.

On a side note, wasn't this the guy that Sean O'Brien praised for being pro-worker?
