Comment It's only a race if you are the only one "running" (Score 2) 75

I think we're looking at the wrong metaphor when we talk about the Nvidia-China / US AI "race." There's *no* finish line in AI - it's more about innovation, system-building, and capacity than a single "winner". That matters because when we talk about one-side owinning, we assume: a) an endpoint, b) uniform criteria for a win, and c) that everyone plays by the same freaking rules.

In reality:

  • AI progress depends on many moving parts - hardware, software, data, talent, regs, infrastructure.
  • The US-China differ so much in strengths and constraints that a winner takes all model doesn't fit here.
  • If China builds a large scale system or captures large share, that doesn't mean the we lose. Both sides can advance in different ways.

I am concerned that framing it as a race might lead to urgency-driven shortcuts in safety and ethics.

So when Jensen says China "is going to win the AI race", what he might be signalling is: China will win its version of dominating infrastructure or deployment for various kinds of AI, but that doesn't equate to a final victory in AI writ large.

For us thinking about strategy (in SEO, marketing or tech), the takeaway is: Dudes, there's no finish line. We should ask instead: What infrastructures are being built? How will ecosystems evolve? What are the governance, data flows, talent networks doing? And where can you position yourself within that evolving system?

nice! You are one of the very few who can do that. I ran marathons for years and couldn't keep it off on 1500 calories a day. But on tirzepatide, I was doing 600-800 cal a day and dropped 110lbs in 10 months.

>obesity rates have grown dramatically in America over the last few decades.

Yes, carbs in the avg diet went up in the 70-80's by a stunning 40-55% (google it - cdc "Trends in Intake of Energy and Macronutrients --- United States, 1971--2000"). That increase equals those in their 40's and 50's getting over weight from 90's to 10's... Sugars are the great enemy of the healthy.

Is not an issue for most over weight. I ran marathons for a few years and put on weight.

>What will their health be like in the long term

Mass majority drop in A1C, liver enzymes stabilize, cholesterol comes down, blood pressure comes down, heart rate comes down. All that is good news for health long term.

Well, it goes far beyond that. Studies in progress are showing most people that have issues with various addictions (from caffeine, tobbaco, drinking, and even harder drugs), are having success kicking-the-habit while taking glp1's. ( I quit coffee after 2 pots a day for 40years...wasn't even trying)

You are not alone, that is the typical uneducated view with many people who are uneducated about obesity. It is a disease, not a "personal responsibility condition. Meta studies - over and over and over, that diet and exercise do not equal long term weight loss. It simply doesn't work. The last study had 10k people in and 5 people were able to keep more than 20lbs off after five years. (google it)
