US and China have a completely different mindset and culture on innovation. Here is an old Bunnie Huang’s TED talk video explaining the differences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S39fhrGjr4U
It doesn’t matter what pedo Trump does, nothing can save OpenAI or Anthropic from their own “dogshit unit economics”.
People seem to miss the point that it‘s probably more about information than anything else. They know this shit isn‘t productive. Deep down, they know they‘re selling crap. But it produces tons of data from users. Silicon valley knows this best. That‘s why they „protect AI companies“. They just want to harvest the data themselves.
There really is no better way to obtain data. And it’s not just data that’s fed into the AI, but also strategies, methods and processes: ideally, these are incorporated directly into the software.
Good luck expanding that to the rest of the world which is just discovering that, while not perfect, China’s open weights models are
a) good enough for 95% or all companies out there
b) a lot cheaper, also because they’re
c) self-hostable, meaning: they’ll always be available, unlike U.S. cloud AI which you’ll be cut off from whenever Diaper Donnie feels it’s time for yet another bribe.He can ban deez nuts
