The past few years, being either compute constrained or energy constrained has driven many innovations in this space. Either way, higher availability of resources does not always equate higher utilisation.

The same could be said about deepseek given they had to innovate with limited compute?

		Exactly, but with the miniaturisation frontier still ahead of us.

OK, so the more energy constrained country (US) has to innovate, then china steals the innovations and leverages them even further due to their massive energy resources. In the end energy wins always.

		That would more seem a side-effect of being constrained in some dimension, whether compute, energy, or else ("when does someone resort to taking something that's not theirs/ours/anyone's/etc?")
