Disclaimer: I don't particularly like Eric Shmidt. He is shady as fuck.

But he is also smart as fuck and a huge donor to science, including european science.

Noooobody cares where the model comes from once it's already trained and being run in a sandbox.

Not quite. There is immense power in deciding what data to train on. You can create vastly different models, and we are not always aligned with Chinese goals. Plus, it would be yet another dependency on China.

All he's trying to do here, is play for time to get people to stay invested in the US but move out of US businesses himself and into longer term assets like gold. He's playing the "panic" and "china bad" cards to do it. Don't believe him and divest. Do it before the US crashes.

Okay...
