    Our readingChina leapfrogged the West on cars by treating internal combustion as obsolete and mastering the technology that replaces it.

    Technological leapfrogging in action. China realized that internal combustion cars are largely obsolete, and mastered the he technology of the future. We didn't.

    Our readingFrance and Germany will ban Tesla's full self-driving to protect their own car industry.

    The French and Germans will ban Tesla FSD to protect their car industry that's being decimated by Chinese EVs and Tesla Allowing Tesla full self driving would make it so popular that it'd probably the end of their car industry Because no French or German car has self driving like Tesla, many customers would probably flock to Tesla

    Our readingRestricting US AI models does not work: China builds better ones and everyone switches to them.

    US: restricts US AI model because too dangerous China: builds better Chinese AI model Everyone: switches to Chinese AI model This is why restricting models probably doesn't work, it's much more preferable (for US) to have everyone on US AI models so at least they can monitor what everyone is doing

    Our readingOnly the US and China have substantial startup activity left; the rest of the world cannot really do startups.

    I just realized the only 2 countries left with actual substantial startup activity now are literally only the US and China The rest of the world can't really do startups, doesn't have the funding, can't grow them and it's more like performative hobby projects for their governments Which might tell us where the future wealth will be concentrated in the world

    Our readingThe era in which Europe bought its energy from Russia, had its goods made in China and left its security to the United States is over.

    And so yes, the era when Europe bought its energy and fertilizers from Russia, had its goods manufactured in China, and delegated its security to the United States of America, is over.
