DeepSeek V4 dropped this week.
Huawei chips. No Nvidia. 90x cheaper than Claude.
I kept thinking if China did it, can other countries too.
They can't.
China built their own chip factories, spending $70B.
China built its software to run the chips, took 10 years.
China has 7+ world-class AI labs.
China has 1.4 billion customers locked behind a firewall.
China's government can burn money for 30 years.
Nobody else has all five.
The world splits into 2 AI stacks.
Pick your empire.
"post-AGI, no one is going to work and the economy is going to collapse"
"i am switching to polyphasic sleep because GPT-5.5 in codex is so good that i can't afford to be sleeping for such long stretches and miss out on working"
Let me explain these AI layoffs.
The issue is the vast difference in quality of employee between the top 10% and everyone else.
AI can’t come anywhere close (today) to replacing the top performers at a big company.
But they’re spending millions a year on tens of thousands of employees in the bottom 75% of the quality scale.
And AI is now getting good enough to replace THEM. Not directly, yet, but by having top performers do more of their work with AI.
So it’s not that AI is better than top performers. It’s not.
The issue is 90% of employees aren’t in the top 10%. And companies no longer want to pay millions a year for mediocre employees.
They’d rather fire everyone but the best, and have them become 10 or 100x what they were by wielding AI.
This is why you see some people thriving right now and most people are panicking. It’s because most people are in the 90% that companies no longer want.
The solution is to become one of the top 10% type people that companies still desperately need. Or to do your own thing once you get there because you no longer need a company.
But this explains why some are thriving right now while most aren’t.
It’s less about AI and more about the difference between top performers and everyone else.
