Keep importing all of your tech from elsewhere.

And you know what's happening?

I mean, look at Iran and how advanced they became through sanctions by being refused to use those technologies.

They had to build them themselves.

Look at China.

Look at Russia.

When I worked at Google, Russia was protective of Yandex, the competitor of Google.

From one side, because of influence, because they didn't want an American organization to own the knowledge sharing of their citizens.

But on the other side, economically, if you made it difficult for Google to operate freely, that by definition meant you had to invent a replacement on the ground.

Which was worse.

Yandex is not worse.

It depends on where in the stack of the quality of that product you need to be, right?

You do not need the ultimate.

I mean, ask yourself this, which version of Gemini are you using?

The most recent one.

And that is you.

Ask everyone else what version of Gemini they're using.

Most people will say, oh, Gemini has versions, right?

You don't need the ultimate super frontier model to do 90% of the tasks.

And most people do only 70% of the tasks.
