And
If you're the government and you're participating in innovation leadership war, there are two tools that you have.
One of them is you bludgeon your international competitors with the regulations that are already in place.
And then the other is you fund or nationalize companies to go compete.
And those are the tools that you're seeing put in place now.
China is very pro pouring money into the companies at a national level.
This is something that we saw with Japan in the 1980s.
In the 1980s, Japan was going to take over the technology world.
And they set up a huge ministry that sort of tried to shepherd the memory industry to dominate it.
And if you look, they don't dominate the memory industry anymore.
So it didn't really work.
But they did for a long time dominate other aspects of tech, and they're very, very good at what they do.
But this central planning, it's not, there's no track record where it really succeeds.
These trade wars, this is where you get into what I think of as bank shots.
The government's not going to go after AI directly.
It's going to, like, do these things on the side.
Like, you see, we're going to, oh, we're going to ban the chips.
Okay, well, that doesn't, that may or may not slow them down, but it doesn't have anything to do with the model in the end.
Like, okay, so it'll train longer or it'll, you know, there's no shortage of power in China, so they're not going to run out of power running the models longer or something like that.
And so these bank shots are very popular with the government because also it doesn't look so rude.
