I don’t know if this is happening in Davos but some AI conference is happening somewhere and so far they’re talking about the AI race between the US and China but seem to be ignoring the DeepSeek news completely. It’s like their whole narrative has been ruined so they’re going to continue on as if it didn’t happen.
"How Labeling Cartels ‘Terrorists’ Could Hurt the U.S. Economy
Isolating U.S. companies from cartel activities could be almost impossible given that the criminal groups operate in sectors like agriculture and tourism, leaving some American businesses vulnerable to sanctions." NYT

Is this an admission of guilt?

This attuited should have been the tone Biden administration used regarding China in the last 4 years. By pretending there is no emerging superpower on the other side of the pacific all their lackey countries could continue to pretend everything is the same as before.
But instead people in the Biden administration couldn't get in front of a meeting or a reporter without mentioning China. By keep saying "we have to prevent China from rising up to be the dominant power" it ironically plants the idea in people's head that "China is on the verge of greatness and replacing America, that's why Whitehouse is so worried about it". 4 years ago if I asked a geopolitical hangout question like "how does China compare to Soviet Union at its peak during the cold war in terms of relative strength to US" people would say China was nowhere close. Where as today even on very pro-US places like X when this question comes up people would say "China is a much greater threat than the Soviet Union ever was" without hesitation. A lot of that is actually thanks to the Biden administration.
It doesn't really work with AI though since AI can actually be measured with benchmark tools and anyone curious can just download the distilled versions and run it on their own PC to play with it. Hell I have deepseek-r1:14b running right here besides me and I'm very impressed with it.
Also with Stargate, all queries and data you send will be recorded and monitored by the tech companies and US government agencies.

Anybody who has done more than 20 minutes serious research into the possibility of a manned Mars mission will come to the conclusion that we will have a commercially viable nuclear fusion plant running before that event happens. Musk is definitely trying to sell you a bridge when he talks about setting foot on Mars by any date that comes out of his mouth.
remember hyperloop? lol
