first, American AI companies built powerful models and started selling intelligence through subscriptions. Then China entered the race.
DeepSeek arrived with competitive models at a fraction of the cost, challenging the assumption that America would remain the undisputed.... 🧵
And that is where the real question begins.
Are we building AI to expand human intelligence, or are we creating a new layer of control over human knowledge?
Maybe this is not just another technology race.
Maybe this is the next Cold War.
when a giant acquires a startup, they aren't buying the code.
They’re buying your distribution, your user trust, and the network effect that would’ve cost them 5x more time to build from scratch.
You don't buy the tech; you buy the moat.
