Extropic founder Guillaume Verdon warns US export controls and tariffs could stifle American labs in the AI diffusion race

> China’s AI playbook: kill OpenAI and anthropic with free great models I have literally never seen any Chinese engineer or AI figure profess the belief that they can kill OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or even, like, Perplexity. They're quite clear-eyed about this game.

@teortaxesTex I was quite accurate in this tweet especially when it comes to size

@zephyr_z9 I'd say you are accurate regarding what Moonshot can and seems likely to train, but as for whether it'll be a "Mythos" or not downstream, I'd defer to them

@teortaxesTex How does perplexity even exist at this point?

@teortaxesTex 大家其实都是在闷头赶路没人想那么多

@teortaxesTex I have always said computer and electricity will be the product not the model at some point. This is their move.

The US would slow down the rolling out of the models so they can milk people as much as possible . This has always been their go to move

@teortaxesTex 外部总喜欢把它讲成一场消灭战，但工程视角更朴素：把模型做强、做便宜、做可用。谁能持续降成本，谁就会吃掉更多真实工作流。

@beffjezos The left hand and right hand of the US govt have no idea what each other are doing.. they need to sort it out relatively quickly.

@beffjezos what if china use AI to build cheaper stuff american buy same stuff now but cheaper later on

@beffjezos literally just picking winners and losers again. this is how you fall behind globally

@beffjezos what if we buy diapers now in america and ship them to Eu at 1/2 the cost since Eu will need more diapers after more people will be needed to fill empty homes

@beffjezos Finally someone is saying it out boldly!

@beffjezos as a soverign individual human on this here planet of earf (AntOpUSGooxAI designation code: foreign national)…

@beffjezos pvp zone- downstream economic effects where AI productivity gains in China could shift global trade dynamics benefiting US consumers through cheaper imports despite tech rivalries

@beffjezos Thermodynamic Open Source model??? 👀

@beffjezos token tariff bill in 3.. 2.. 1..

@beffjezos Elections have consequences :)

@beffjezos @ceobillionaire Lol, free models could shake things up fr!

@teortaxesTex 美国佬接受不了一个地球可以共同存在多个文明这种基本叙事

@beffjezos @ceobillionaire Sounds kinda sketchy tbh
