China and Russia collectively have a talent pool dense enough to build future products and services the rest of the world uses, if China can produce comparative hardware for AI.
Simple example being TikTok.
Its just a matter of time really.
- cshores 1y agoEverything in china is a copy though. Even your example TikTok is a Vine clone

- rhetocj23 1y agoYeah its incredibly disrespectful to call TikTok just a vine clone. Most of Meta's engagement comes from video content. Continuous engagement is how it is able to generate its revenue. Thats all I need to say!
