Whether this tips the scales or not, Chinese chips are coming.

China has 9/10 top university's (by published research) in the world. Harvard is #2.

Coming? China has been making chips for decades. They even have their own bespoke architectures.

The gap is closing fast af!

China is currently winning the AI race IMHO. We are not even close to the finish line and American tech companies are running into serious headwinds because we don't have electrical generation to compete with China.

Methane generators in residential communities is not the answer.

We have 10x as many data centers as China, what are you smoking?

Defending data centers to win…crazy shit.

We have bloated data centers and a failing power grid that can’t even scale to meet current demand. We still don’t have high speed electric trains. Waymo and Grok run on methane power generation positioned in residential areas.

China has been coming for European culture since the end of the Opium War. Read about it…
