So what are you trying to say? Do you agree that OpenAI and Anthropic are still claiming they need more data centres and more Nvidia servers to win the AI race, while still trying to understand what China actually did and how they did it?

My point is: OpenAI raised $40 billion and Anthropic raised $10 billion, claiming they needed the money to buy more expensive Nvidia servers to train bigger models. Then Chinese experts basically said, no you don't. And they proved it.

You can't compare software development with surgery, or writing code with transplanting a heart. One is reversible, testable, and fixable. The other involves real lives, real bodies, and no second chances.

Those of us who live outside the US don't think like that. We love German cars, Chinese phones, Korean TV series and Vietnamese food. Our taste is not guided by ideology, it's guided by quality and value. In school, for example, t

What's funny about this report is that it doesn't mention the challenges China, the biggest manufacturing power in the world, faced while automating factories with AI and robots. Considering how advanced China is, maybe it's

This is exactly what the DeepSeek team did, and now Anthropic is repackaging it a year later, calling it “subliminal learning” or using the teacher and student analogy to take credit for work done by Chinese researchers. https://

Winning the AI race gives China or the US a commercial advantage, but only if the rest of the world allows it. That advantage can be regulated. For example, in America and Europe people don't use WeChat, and in China they don't us

What does it mean to win the AI race?

There are two paths: 1) do whatever it takes, like China, even if it's illegal, to win the AI race. Or 2) governments that play by the rules can introduce regulations and the rest of the world can ban the use of Chinese AI.

China has built its tech empire on years of IP theft and disregard for creator rights, the answer isn't to copy that behaviour, it's to double down on fairness, transparency, and proper compensation. Don't you think? If every

Google and Microsoft are using proxy companies to steal all the copyrighted content ever produced, and you're blaming China, or suggesting it'd be worse if they did it? Right.

This isn't something a web developer should be doing in 2025. The styling should be generated by the software used to design the UI. Why aren't the companies building design tools solving this?
