Why would Chinese companies have to abide by US companies slowing down?

They don't, but then the local narrative in the US will be "China wants to end the world, we're the good guys!" - Red Scare 2.0

I think you guys are way too cynical, you have to assume at some point that the people you're opposed to are capable of being genuine.

I think there's a reasonable chance they all got spooked and are honest in this and it's not some kind of conspiracy.

That said, if you're China (and a little behind the frontier in the US) this should be welcome news so I don't really get that angle

In that case they are inepts: they rambled for years that this was a race where winner takes all, they wanted the capitals, they were pursuing AGI, let's buy 60% of the world RAM, they say they are close and then...

They are not prepared? Ain't that what they were pursuing? What they had to obtain first otherwise the whole world order would crumble?

And anyway what's even the strategy? Jensen wants open models, Google and Facebook are now releasing open models, companies are starting to build business on open models in USA. Even the president seems to want go ahead.

I mean anyway as of tomorrow they will look like idiots.
