wfithian · x · 2026-11-02
Tom Milton, CEO of Amodo Design, demonstrates verification hardware that could make a binding US-China treaty on AI enforceable. Key segments:
- Why compute is the best place to verify an AI slowdown; proving a lab isn't cheating
- Live demo: spotting a cheating GPU; could China hide a data centre; can verification tools be hacked
- Whether anyone at OpenAI works on this; Chinese inspectors in US data centres
- The "20-day panic deal," what a US-China AI deal could look like
- AI's progress and bottlenecks in hardware design, risks of automating hardware
