But sort of what is also interesting to me is like right now, it's still early enough that the incumbents aren't so entrenched that you can't imagine a new cloud provider emerging or imagine a new model developer
existing or imagine, you know, a new company that's being built on top of these models.
Right.
And so it seems much more fluid than like, oh, I guess we're stuck with Facebook and YouTube.
We're going to have to work these American companies like now we can still maybe try to squeeze the Americans into into building sort of higher value stuff.
I don't know.
It's kind of fun and also depressing if you're like work in the Abu Dhabi, like, I don't know, tech policy department or whatever.
Cause on the one hand, yeah, there's room to play where there really wasn't.
If you're talking about this from 2018, but it's also like you're competing against these companies, which are valued in the trillions of dollars at this point.
I think like it's harder to push the frontier when you don't have as many chips.
So if you don't have as many chips, you'll do some other stuff.
I mean, the amount of like hand-wringing I've read from Chinese CEOs saying,
we need to do more like basic research.
Like we can't just let the, let the foreigners like steal a march on us.
I mean, there is angst about this fact that all of the breakthroughs seem to come out of California as opposed to, you know,
zhejiang province um that uh i think the the sort of tech leaders as well as um you know she himself and and the heads of sort of chinese science bureaucracies aren't necessarily comfortable with i mean i think there are some unique dynamics in china in terms of like the fact that is it is a protected market right like open ai and anthropic their models like you cannot have like
Well, I mean, people are like fucking around and trying to get around it.
But like ostensibly, the Chinese government has banned them from having direct access to consumers in China.
So you can't build a domestic business in China off of a cloud API, which just like this wouldn't work for Abu Dhabi.
Right.
