Equally you can't rule out innovation that makes deepseek more relevant than American models

We can because the reality is that America has led in AI since the beginning and has had the best frontier models. It's not like some other country held the top spot for any given period of time. No one in Europe or China. I'd give it the benefit of the doubt if there was precedent. But the only logical position to take is the lead is widening and while most AI's will go over some threshold where it is good enough for most people, the actual frontier will remain firmly in American soil.

i predict you are going to have a very hard rest of your life, trying to cope with reality or reconcile what you see with what you "think"

The USA has the biggest, but there lies their disadvantage

In the USA building bigger, better frontier models has been bigger data centres, more chips, more energy.

China has had to think, hard. Be cunning and make what they have do more

This is a pattern repeated in many domains all through the last hundred years.

Being the front runner doesn’t automatically make you the best, that’s such an American way of thinking lol.
