    In one domain, AI, the US has far outpaced any other nation

    Really because i haven’t heard ANYTHING about actual advances in AI since deepseek btfo’d literally everything the west has been doing.

    The ONLY ai “news” ive seen since then is now you can pay $300 a month to maybe see Grok’s avatar’s boobs

      The entire AI industry is massively unprofitable right now, completely propped up by investor hype and news articles continuing to claim that superintelligence is right around the corner. The actual real world output is… uh, some tech startups are now shitting out unmaintainable proof-of-concept codebases for their dogshit business plans slightly faster than before? Companies paying $200/month/head to make their developers pretend to use Copilot? The only people consistently hyped around it are the capitalists desperate to remove labor from their equations altogether to deal with the rate of profit falling, and much like previous attempts at mass outsourcing it’s just going to blow up in their faces when they have to re-hire a bunch of people to unfuck their efforts to not have to hire those people in the first place.
