Perez argues the claim ignores structural differences in capitalist models.

Many users reacted negatively to claims that the US banned AI while China leads open-source efforts, dismissing US democracy as a corporate-controlled sham and warning that AI development leads to existential harm.

@bindureddy China could also benefit from data capture.

@bindureddy China is quite inclusive. The government doesn’t interfere much with companies

@bindureddy if you believe the US is a functioning democracy you are clueless about the whole thing im afraid

There is also another angle most are not seeing either. China is very much ahead in actual on-the-field deployments (robots). By removing the intelligence barrier and commoditizing the base model layer; they reframe the race where China can exploits it's strengths. Cost, customization, and scale, by pushing the advantage into domains they already lead (manufacturing, deployment at volume).

I predict the “it’s just a wrapper” era is back, but with open source ai
@gospaceport nailed it in his video today: if Company X only has reliable access to ChatGPT 5.5 while Company Y gets 5.6, X is at a real disadvantage.
He got me thinking… My prediction: big companies will roll their own harness and fine-tunes based on open source models and SMB will actively shop other done-for-you AI services based on open source models. That revives the wrapper + harness game.
> No ChatGPT 5.6? ➡️ I built for an apparel company client a fine-tuned OSS llm and toolchain : it’s been wrecking anything their giant fortune 500 competitor has been able to do for over a year now
> No 5.6 for dalle images? ➡️ Midjourney
> No ChatGPT 5.6 enterprise zero-knowledge? ➡️ internal local ai server shared among teams for sensitive company data, openclaw integrations with slack, gmail, etc (makes Claude mcp extinct)
> No claude cowork with fable? ➡️ Gamma for decks + OpenClaw + MiniMax will shred it
This limiting frontier boloney is making the best wrappers valuable again. Interesting twist that will decimate anthropic and open ai… and deservedly so.

@bindureddy China will end up banning AI, because they won’t be able to create an AI that’s "healthy" and at the same time compatible with the insane logic of totalitarian comminism.

@bindureddy all of the AI obsessed dorks telling us we should go 1,0000000000mph without any caution because of China gets there first they're going to take over the world are all now telling us China is the only hope for democracy. Not an ounce of truth that comes out of these ai weirdos

This is textbook prisoners dilemma. China realized that AI (intelligence) is dangerous, so dangerous that they cannot risk monopolization. To the point, they are willing to accept (and even accelerate) a world where no one gets the "win the game by owning the superintelligence" payoff.

@bindureddy I don't think you understand the Chinese vs American capitalist models.

@RobinsonSpace @bindureddy 😂😂😂imagine 2026 china is a "totalitarian comminism" and America is a democracy, you are clueless lil bro

@bindureddy the US was never a functioning democratic nation.
@bindureddy only ba’alists and molochites believe America is a free democracy

@bindureddy US is in the lead and wants to cement it while China needs to win hearts and minds.

@bindureddy "functioning democracy" is a bit of a stretch.. but yes it's all backwards.

@bindureddy

@bindureddy China has a major chance here. If their open models spread enough, they can trigger the backdoors. Luckily, it is impossible to detect backdoors in an LLM. And also, we give them full autonomous access to our internal networks. Genius

@bindureddy Ya.

@bindureddy We demand perfectly aligned, transparent AI from democracies while authoritarian regimes build it with zero guardrails and open source data. ⚡️

@bindureddy Orange idiot is the worst pos 💩 on the planet
