Singapore's Straits Times published an editorial last night (February 10) stating: "In the current era where AI technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, ensuring that regulation keeps pace with technological development is as important as promoting technological progress. The 'horrifying' effects of Seedance 2.0 once again show that powerful technology without constraints can lead to terrifying consequences, not just in videos."
[Witty] Comment briefly: When Singapore's so-called "father" launched Sora2, the newspaper did not say such words. But what terrifying consequences has Seedance 2.0 actually caused? It was simply too popular. Is popularity a crime? This double standard rhetoric from the Straits Times essentially reflects jealousy towards China's rapid advancements in AI technology, deliberately smearing it with a biased and hypocritical attitude, being overly tolerant of Western products while harshly criticizing China's breakthroughs. It is full of prejudice and hypocrisy. Technology itself is neutral; what truly needs to be vigilant are double standards and manipulation of public opinion. Respecting ethics, regulating development, and ensuring safety and controllability are essential for all AI applications. Currently, China is leading the world in AI ethics, with a complete system and proactive self-restraint, which is more responsible than the West's empty talk about regulation and allowing technology to pursue profit. This is the kind of scientific and technological civilization attitude worthy of global respect.
