The US is fucked on AI leadership, because we're fucked on manufacturing leadership. It's a fluke of geology we have control of pure enough silicon right now, and that's not likely to be a barrier for long. China is about to eat our lunch in every area of research now that the US has killed funding and chased away the best students. What happened with manufacturing, is about to happen with tech and academia. Europe, India, Japan and Australia will siphon off a little bit, but China is going to be dominant for the next 20 to 50 years most likely. And probably won't be overtaken by the US again.
It won't be next week, but over the next decade China is very much going to be taking the global stage. The US has handed them economic dominance on a silver platter.
Blame the neo liberals who outsourced everything to China in the 1990s and 2000s thinking they were geniuses by cutting costs and screwing over labor while handing over know-how and IP to an emerging giant.
Good. Deserved.
