There is no way it doesn't get propped up by the government at this rate. AI is the next big weapon in, well, everything digital. And they won't want other countries having the biggest stick.

There absolutely is a way. It starts with people hold their governments and representatives accountable.

The AI companies can and absolutely should fail. AI itself isn’t going anywhere. That Genie is out of the box.

Right, but it's an arms RACE. Can't have a race by crippling your best runner.

"It starts with people hold their governments and representatives accountable".

That is basically a non-answer and doesn't mean anything. The reality is AI is classified a national security priority and therefore has the US govt to prevent it from running out of money.

You could argue that the US has already lost the AI race to China, though. The race isn't won by building the gigantic LLMs. It isn't about 1 million token context windows or 1 trillion parameter models. It's about sentiment. Deepseek and the other distilled models take a novel approach with MoE and strict use case training, but ultimately its the willingness of people/companies to use the AI that results in the win.

US adoption is still the highest world-wide, but China is starting to take the lead on that and have they have stronger willingness to use it.

You struggling to understand a statement doesn’t make it a non-answer.

Your conflating the current technology AI and AI companies.

but ultimately its the willingness of people/companies to use the AI that results in the win.

Ah, you’re one of those people.
