Everyone looks way to narrow on nations.
AI compute and AI usage is a global thing.
Look at South Korea in the 70s and today. Technology helped South Korea to leapfrog many Western companies in a few decades.
It will happen again. Many 3rd world countries have better mobile phone networks than Europe while they basically have ZERO copper in the ground.
While in Western countries everyone is skeptical about AI, Asian countries are building robot armies to replace Western collar workers. So we think about regulation and bubbles while others think of how leapfrogging us. Invest and cost is 2 sides of the same coin. It's obvious what we see here and what others see around the globe.
