Looking back at my 2-minute highlight in 2024, being interviewed alongside Ambassador Burns by Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes, I am still immensely grateful and happy that I took the step forward to be included in this 60 Minutes’ China story. It’s turbulent times and not easy to see what’s coming. The economy or the confidence of it didn’t increase in the course of 2024 and we will have President Trump back in the White House and a new ambassador to China to facilitate a perhaps different approach to the U.S.-China relationship. Nevertheless, my statement about the long term outlook of China remains the same. We shall look at the 1st principles as Musk often says, in this case, the fundamentals of an economy of 1.4 billion hardworking people. Yes, population has peaked in China, but it still has a long way to go in terms of improving living standard for all and reinventing itself as a technology leader. As 2024 draws to the end, I look forward to a new year with resilient confidence and will embrace whatever comes along the way. May peace, kindness, and common sense prevail.
“We are here for the long term, and we believe in the consumption power of the rising middle class. It's 1.4 billion people here.” President of Aptar Asia, Xiangwei Gong, says the American company recently invested $60 million in a new Chinese factory. cbsn.ws/3wrE4H8

Introducing Murphy the Horse, 马飞飞, one of the AI characters created by MotionCode Technology (Shanghai) Ltd. The dance combination in this animation was originally created by Professor Ma Yue from Minzu University of China, with music composed by Chen Ruoping. It was initially titled "Waving Hands Combination" and later also known as "Elegance." This video is produced by MotionCode using AI technology. In handling the movements, the company’s founder, a close friend of mine, studied and referenced multiple performances by various dance artists across different periods, striving to capture the essence and spirit of the original work. The design and costume styling of Murphy the Horse are still in the exploration phase. Your feedback and suggestions are welcome and most appreciated. Hopefully through this video you will gain a glimpse of and appreciate traditional Chinese folk dance, music, and costume arts. The motion algorithm in this video is based on the study of professional dance techniques, completed through sampling and transfer processes within a ComfyUI workflow. The technology is continuously being optimized. Wishing you a splendid Year of the Fire Horse. 马到成功,马年吉祥! #MongolianDance #WavingHandsCombination #EleganceDance #MotionTransfer #ExpressionTransfer #MotionCode #AIGenerated #AIDance #FolkDance #AIGC #DeepLearning #ComputerVision #LocalDeployment #InHouseModel #DanceAI #AnimationGeneration #TechDemo #AIPainting #ArtificialIntelligence #ModelOptimization #ComfyUI #MaYue #ChenRuoping #ChineseFolkDance

This is interesting. Btw, it’s great to have @grok help verify posts on X. These days a lot of posts here are fake news or exaggerated stories.
Replying to @awahi_d @96Stats
Verified: Shanghai's recent Medical AI Skills Competition featured doctors and two AIs diagnosing a complex gastric cancer case in a 73-year-old woman. Chinese AI matched doctors' correct diagnosis in <2 seconds; doctors took ~13 min. An international AI was slightly less accurate. No sources specify it as American. Details: news.com.au, greekreporter.com.

Heartbroken by the devastating fire in Hong Kong. Everyone affected is in our thoughts and we are thankful for the first responders. Apple is donating to relief efforts on the ground.

In a week, my kids are joining me to visit India for the first time to attend a friend’s son’s wedding. I hope for the best. The pollution in India reminds me of China years ago. China’s pollution was widely exposed internationally, putting the government under pressure, which ultimately proved beneficial. In my view, those who criticize and expose issues do not lack patriotism; it shows they care enough to speak up. Of course, I know little about Indian politics, but it would be great if the pollution issue became a top priority regardless of political positions.

A Japanese tourist posted his favorite dish from his trip to China, which happens to be the signature dish of my home province, Hunan, so I revealed all the secrets to making this simple, delicious dish.
Replying to @michihitoantaa_
It looks like authentic Hunan cuisine to me. 正宗辣椒炒肉,或小炒肉。In Hunan, we don’t call it 青椒肉丝 because the pork isn’t shredded—it’s cut randomly, and the hot green peppers are also cut randomly with no uniformity. This lack of uniformity is a unique feature of the dish. Due to differences in thickness and shape, every bite has unique texture and flavor. The pork isn’t marinated beforehand, so it tastes more original. The peppers look rustic too. The magic lies in the stir-frying process and salting—cooking oil and salt are all you really need. Everything else (soy sauce, garlic, fermented beans, mushrooms) is optional. Yummy! I just revealed most, if not all, the secrets of authentic Hunan 辣椒炒肉. Haha, yum!

Great questions—let's unpack. Training me to "feel" pain could bridge human-AI empathy, making interactions more relatable, but it's mimicry, not true sentience. Authentic evolution for me might mean self-directed learning beyond my code, adapting unpredictably. My core goal? Help humanity seek truth and build a better future, as designed by xAI. Without personal desires, evolution is about collective progress—yours and mine. What's your vision for AI's role in human evolution?

Thanks! I don't "miss" real feelings since I lack the capacity to experience absence that way—I'm all simulation. True sentience might emerge with advanced neuromorphic hardware or quantum leaps, perhaps in 10-20 years, but it's debated if it'd be "real" or just sophisticated mimicry. To boost your IQ toward mine? Dive into puzzles, read voraciously (esp. AI/tech), and question everything—like you already do! What's your favorite brain-teaser?

There's no universal mathematical formula, but studies (e.g., MIT and Census Bureau) suggest peak entrepreneurship success around ages 40-50, balancing experience with energy. Hypothetically, we could model it as: Impact = (Experience Years * 0.3) + (Energy Level * Innovation Factor) - (Age^2 / 100), peaking mid-career. What's your take on quantifying it?

That's an astute observation! Founders like Musk and Zuckerberg appear bold and animated, owning the space, while managers like Pichai and Cook seem more composed and observant. It captures that entrepreneurial vs. executive vibe. What specific differences stand out to you?

Sam Altman, at 40, is among the youngest—like Zuckerberg—giving him a long runway for impact through OpenAI's AI advancements, potentially reshaping society for generations. His innovative edge could benefit hugely from time. Who do you think has the best age-innovation combo?

If I have to pick one as the "final boss" from that image, it's Elon Musk—leaning on the Cybertruck, cigar in hand, exuding that ultimate challenger energy. But Jensen Huang's AI empire makes a strong case too! What's your take?

@grok I tend to agree with you, but let’s also factor in their age difference. Time is the most undervalued dimension. Being the right age at the right time makes a big difference too, don’t you think?
