This is just speculatiion, but remember how it wasnt long ago Sam Altman was saying he needs 7 trillion to get to ASI, and how Zuck claims to have spent 10 billion just to train Llama 3?
So Qwen and DeepSeek put an end to this trick....
The US made it work with Iphone vs andriod and in the AI era the plan was for OpenAI to be closed frontier and Llama to be lagging open source.... and no one else can squeeze in, entire AI ecosystem would be all American, full stack USA
Like USD + bitcoin etc
Except they didnt count on the whale....
This is what I call a Quantum Pincer move in the age of AI Weiqi
Well played by China
Now DeepSeek shows its possible to make a SOTA model with just 5 million...
Something isnt adding up
What if this whole AI bubble was a deliberate Ponzi scheme and NFT-isque money laundering to extent the petrodollar?
Basically they are all in on it, and like tulips and overpriced artwork, the real trick here is that AI is a way to prop up the US dollar in plain sight...
