Who cares how the script was generated. What he says is entirely factual. He cites plenty of concrete examples too.

The idea that the talent in the US surpasses the global research community is laughable. China already tops the world in artificial intelligence publications. https://www.science.org/content/article/china-tops-world-art...

China also has a population of 1.4 billion people, and an excellent education system. Pretty much all top universities are Chinese. https://www.nature.com/nature-index/institution-outputs/gene...

And let's not forget that top AI researchers from US are now fleeing to China. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3353398/lead...

Publications != talent anymore. The top talent work at labs that keeps most of their research secret. And Microsoft AI is not in that circle

Not denying that China is a close #2 btw.

		Sure, publications might not equal talent, but the fact is that China leads research in 90% of crucial technologies. So, clearly China leads in a very tangible way here https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-04048-7 And specifically to AI, practically all major innovation that's been published and is used in the wild comes from Chinese companies. Before DeepSeek, everybody just assumed you needed a gigantic date centre to train models. Qwen is showing that you can get near frontier quality on your desktop. Nothing of the sort is coming out from the US. And frankly when you look at the recent report from Stanford, it's embarrassing af for the US. Look at the chart on how much money is going into AI in US relative to China, and then at the chart showing how there's practically no difference in quality of the models. The only thing the US is ahead in is burning through capital like there's no tomorrow. https://hai.stanford.edu/news/inside-the-ai-index-12-takeawa...
