Amerikan viljelijät ovat ongelmissa kun kovasti työtä tehneet latinot karkoitetaan. Valkoisista ei ole maataloustöihin eivätkä mustat enää viitsi tehdä töitä valkoisille orjapalkoilla.
China is striving to build its own technological ecosystem – one that is not only independent, but also resilient to sanctions and restrictions imposed by the United States, currently the most prolific user of such measures. As a result, the race for supremacy in this area has become a key element of the broader US–China rivalry. Technological superiority enables a country to impose technical, legal, economic, and even social standards, influence the adoption of new solutions by other states and preserve its economic dominance. Due to the two countries’ differing roles in the existing global division of labour and the pre-eminence of American companies and research centres, China now faces the imperative of narrowing its technological gap with the United States. Achieving this requires immense organisational, human, and capital effort. Against this backdrop, Beijing has opted for a development model based on open-source solutions, which helps to spread the costs and risks of investing in new technologies while enabling faster and broader implementation. It also opens opportunities to tap into talent from outside China and facilitates technological expansion abroad.
At the same time, China’s use of open-source is part of a broader effort to enhance security by gradually eliminating foreign source code over which Chinese users have no control. Open-hardware architecture simultaneously broadens the scope for developing domestic semiconductors and industrial robots using technology resistant to Western sanctions. As a result, China’s approach to open-source not only influences the direction of global technological transformation, but also serves as a source of inspiration for some countries, while prompting others to adapt their development strategies.
Open-software and open-hardware
Today, virtually every element of the technologies we interact with on a daily basis – whether the Internet, smartphones, cars, or household appliances – is at least partially built upon and operates using open-source code,[1] or open-hardware architecture.[2] Linux,[3] an open-source operating system, powers all of the world’s supercomputers,[4] 96.3% of the one million most frequently used websites, such as Facebook and Wikipedia, and 90% of cloud services. At the same time, 72.72% of the mobile device market runs on the Linux-based Android operating system.[5] More than 80% of Internet users rely on web browsers built on Chromium[6] or Firefox, both open-source projects.[7] The Signal Protocol,[8] an open-source cryptographic protocol that enables encrypted messaging and voice communication, is used in messaging platforms such as Signal, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Google Messages, serving billions of users worldwide. In the hardware sector, the success of personal computers (PCs), which spearheaded the information revolution, demonstrates the effectiveness of the open-hardware model.[9]
In the context of intensifying competition with the United States and the need to close the gap with the West, the current leadership of the Chinese Communist Party seeks to implement an open model of technological development in China on a similarly large scale.[10] However, this approach is not unique to China. Governments and corporations around the world have come to recognise that open-source represents the most effective, and at times the only, path to technological advancement, as it allows for cost-sharing, more efficient use of infrastructure, computing power, and human resources, the development of compatible standards and, ultimately, the rapid and widespread implementation of innovation across the economy. Solutions developed by a global network of contributors within this model, such as software codes and hardware schematics, are made publicly available, allowing for free use, modification and redistribution. However, their commercial use is subject to certain restrictions, such as the requirement to make derivative works publicly accessible. In this respect, they differ from proprietary solutions, where access to source code and documentation remains the confidential property of a company. Proprietary solutions offer tight control over the technology used, but they are capital-intensive, while licensing increases adaptation costs and slows technological evolution. It is therefore unsurprising that open-source has become a central component of technological development strategies of major global powers, led by the United States, China, and the European Union.
Kiina ja Yhdysvallat taistelevat; ja Suomi hyötyy. Kohta saadaan tietokoneet ilmaiseksi kun kaksikko taistelee vallan kahvasta. Hyvä Suomi!

🇺🇸 Yhdysvallat vs. 🇨🇳 Kiina: Avoimen lähdekoodin käyttö
Avoimen lähdekoodin ohjelmistot (OSS) ovat keskeisessä roolissa molemmissa maissa, mutta niiden käyttöä ohjaavat hyvin erilaiset motiivit, politiikat ja kulttuuriset lähestymistavat.

Ominaisuus | Yhdysvallat | Kiina |
---|---|---|
Lähestymistapa | Yhteisölähtöinen, hajautettu | Valtiokeskeinen, strateginen |
Päämotiivit | Kustannussäästöt, innovaatiot | Teknologinen omavaraisuus, geopoliittinen |
Hallinnollinen rooli | Tuki ja turvallisuuskehykset | Aktiivinen ohjaus ja investoinnit |
OSS:n rooli kansallisessa strategiassa | Tärkeä mutta hajautettu osa | Keskeinen osa teknologista autonomiaa |
Jos haluat, voin vertailla myös tiettyjä teknologioita, kuten Linuxin käyttöä tai tekoälykehysten avoimuutta. Tai voimme sukeltaa syvemmälle siihen, miten nämä erot vaikuttavat globaaliin innovaatiokilpailuun. Kiinnostaisiko? 😊
The chip achieves a theoretical peak computing power of 2,560 tera-operations per second (TOPS) at 50GHz, comparable to Nvidia’s flagship RTX 4090, and nearing its latest RTX 5090, which achieves 3,352 TOPS, the report stated.
Unlike electronic chips, optical computing offers ultra-high speed, low latency, and minimal power consumption, making it a promising solution for AI and data centers.
Led by researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics and Nanyang Technological University, the chip uses a novel multi-wavelength design to process over 100 tasks simultaneously, the report said.
Kiina rakentaa valoon perustuvia prosessoreita.
Markku Valtanen kirjoittaa supertekoälyn etiikasta.
Tekoäly laulaa. Jotkut ei tykkää, toiset tykkää. Itse kannatan tekoälytaidetta sillä ns. taiteilijoiden tuotteet ovat usein ylihinnoiteltuja. Tekoäly taide taas on koko kansan taidetta.
