Remember when EU carmakers lobbied for rules on electric cars to be loosened, & Chinese manufacturers went "we make cheap electric cars now, & they get 400km range & recharge in 5 minutes"? Anyway, so now US-techbros want to avoid mutually-assured carnage by calling for an LLM investment halt.

But the only reason anyone gives them money is because they keep promising they'll invent god, or something, & Chinese companies just release open weight models & hope to make up their investments by offering cheap compute. Yeah, so, about that ... how's it working out for the techbros this time?
