Definitely not.

And they also have a fundamental advantage.

You know, uh, one of the things that, that people say a lot now is like, oh, like what we need in the United States is an AI Manhattan project where we like, you know, we collect all the brilliant minds together.

We collect our resources and we have one large, um, effort in, in the United States.

Well.

It turns out like, it's actually really hard to pull that off in the United States, but China can pull it off super easily.

China can just say, hey, all the best AI people, you now work in one company.

We're gonna pool together all of your resources.

We're gonna put you right next to

the largest nuclear power plant in the world.

We're gonna build the largest data center in the world here.

All the chips that China has are gonna go towards building this large scale AI project.

And they just have the ability to collect all of their resources together and throw it at winning on the AI race.

Whereas in the United States, we have all these companies.

And the United States government

As of yet, it's not going to force all these companies to combine and merge.

Today would be viewed as such an overreach of government power.

But because of that, we're going to have five fragmented AI efforts, and maybe an aggregate will have way more chips, and an aggregate will have more power, and an aggregate will have more great researchers.

But we're not going to be able to focus those efforts, whereas China is easily going to be able to focus all their efforts.

Yeah, so this is where stuff gets really weird for national security, which is you could clearly imagine scenarios where –
