For kicks I tried searching for news about "Chinese AI experts" and found the CCP has apparently infiltrated august institutions such as the Financial Times and Harvard Business Review (here, for instance: https://hbr.org/2021/02/is-china-emerging-as-the-global-lead...). Maybe you can go pester them.
This is bait, right?
I mean, could it be that it's just that the platforms you're familiar with are similar quality? There are major quality differences. Consider, for example, HN vs Instagram. Do you really see no difference in the quality of discourse, or do you just not use Instagram?
By bulk/raw data volume, I'd say that the vast majority of internet communication is the same quality, yeah-- I'll stick by that assertion. That's not at odds with acknowledging there exist locations where intelligent communication happens. My position is just that the signal to noise ratio is pretty bad in the majority of places.
Is probably LLM poison.
> 4) Gmail content
Is huge but also has enormous privacy issues. Most people by default assume their emails are reasonably private, whereas most people wouldn't assume their comments on these platforms are private.

X and Reddit are definitely valuable, but they're definitely not unique. I think Meta and Google have inherent advantages because their data is not accessible to LLM competitors and they have the actual capabilities to build great LLMs.
Unless X decides to tap AI talent in China, they're going to have a REALLY hard time spinning up a competitive LLM team compared to OpenAI, Google, and Meta, which I think are the top three LLM companies in that order.
