SOTA AI is the only place where we are ahead. china has us beat on manufacturing, logistics and workhorse grade models like deepseek pro and glm5.2. we're increasingly irrelevant

apple revolutionizing power supplies is hilarious given how big and bulky they are. I have an anker 145 watt charger. smaller than macbok pro charge and yet it charges my macbook pro, ipad and steamdeck at the same time
