And currently, I think the safest assumption that we should have as Americans is that it doesn't matter to them.
Because it could be 80%, and that's all it needs to be.
And if you look at the history of CCT policies, everything from environment to manufacturing to buying stuff from Timu, it seems like the consistent strategy is that 80% is good enough.
And the one thing that we do have to be very careful about, which Zach does talk about pretty religiously, is that they are winning on the adoption side.
And every kind of arc of innovation that has happened in the world, like previously AI, America has won the several stages of the industrial revolution to other phases of the internet because we are first to adopt.
And China clearly is the first to adopt.
on robotics, on drones, on AI integration.
And that's where maybe they figure it out.
It doesn't matter.
They can solve it via other mechanisms like dirty power, inexpensive chips, and they can kind of go their own trajectory.
So I'm with the administration on the changes that they've all implemented.
I would say that Friedberg's kind of last rant last week was definitely echoing my view on things, which is like,
The government always thinks they can do something about something when they're out and they can't.
And then they spend a bunch of energy and then at the end of the day it doesn't work and then they still claim victory.
Like the war on poverty is a great example.
And so I feel like that's where we're going to end with AI where in the end it kind of like all this effort really didn't matter and it caused entrepreneurs to slow down and eventually the government backs off and realizes that we have to, to quote David Sachs, you know, let America cook.
Uh, I think most of that's overblown and it's kind of hard to prove.
Yeah.
I think, I think it's actually quite hard to prove.
And, and, and I, I also believe there is this kind of, even if the model will just tell you straight up that it's Claude.
