I was clearly wrong about Anthropic. They are obviously currently the leader in AI. No company has released a model as good as Mythos/Fable and they will undoubtedly have Mythos 2 ready soon.
And I would never cut them off in a way that hurt them badly, even as a competitor. That’s not my style.
Tesla open sourced its patents and we made the Supercharger network available to all competitors, even though we could have made it a walled garden.
SpaceX launches competing satellite systems with no increase in price or use of unfair terms.
Even my worst enemies can attack me on this platform.

三星初步业绩今天引发全球 AI 相关股票抛售,投资者担心内存周期是否已经见顶。
但对基金经理米哈伊尔·兹韦列夫来说,“一些热钱过度拥挤,今天出现一点回调,并不是卖出内存股的理由”。
他说,对热门芯片股来说,更值得担心的是中国竞争对手正在形成的威胁。他认为,这些竞争对手可能在未来两到三年扰乱整个行业。
中国企业长江存储和长鑫存储受益于大量国家支持。共同管理 Amati Global Innovation Fund 的兹韦列夫表示,北京正在采用类似策略,正是这种策略让中国电动汽车走向全球成功。
这些投资似乎正在取得回报:长鑫存储第一季度利润增长17倍,并正准备通过上海上市融资约40亿美元。长江存储也已朝着备受期待的 IPO 迈出步伐。
兹韦列夫表示:“我们仍然持有三星电子,但相比去年同期,我们现在持有时要紧张得多。”(WSJ)
China Isn’t Just Making More Cars. It’s Rewriting the Global Auto Industry.
For years, “Made in China” was associated with affordability.
Today, it’s increasingly associated with innovation, electrification, software, and scale.
The latest export figures tell a compelling story.
China’s automobiles are now reaching every corner of the world, from Brazil, Australia, Mexico, Thailand, the Philippines, and the UK to markets across Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
What’s even more remarkable is that New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) are leading this expansion, with EVs and plug-in hybrids becoming a major export category rather than a niche product.
Why is this happening?
✅ Massive investment in battery technology and EV supply chains.
✅ World-class manufacturing efficiency and automation.
✅ Software-defined vehicles with AI-powered features.
✅ Competitive pricing without sacrificing technology.
✅ Strong domestic competition that has accelerated innovation.
This isn’t just about selling more cars.
It’s about China building an entire automotive ecosystem, from lithium mining and battery production to semiconductors, autonomous driving, AI, and smart manufacturing.
The global auto industry is entering a new era where the biggest competitive advantage isn’t just horsepower…
It’s software, batteries, AI, and manufacturing at unprecedented scale.
Traditional automakers now face a very different competitor than they did just a decade ago.
The question is no longer whether Chinese brands will become global players.
The real question is:
Which markets, manufacturers, and suppliers will adapt fast enough to compete in the next decade?
The automotive race has become a technology race.
And China has accelerated far faster than many expected.
⚡️The weak part of the AI trade is going to get destroyed.
AI wrappers with no moat.
Neoclouds dependent on cheap capital and perfect utilization.
Software names pretending “AI features” equal pricing power.
Companies buying GPUs because the market rewards the announcement.
Startups whose revenue is really just recycled venture money, cloud credits, or Nvidia ecosystem financing.
Those are the bodies that get carried out.
But calling “the end” for AI stocks as one category is too crude.
AI is becoming industrial infrastructure.
Compute, power, memory, networking, data centers, cooling, transformers, copper, HBM, and grid access are real bottlenecks. That buildout does not vanish because Burry sees excess. The internet bubble did not mean the internet was fake. It meant too much capital chased the wrong layer at the wrong valuation.
The real phase shift: AI goes from story market to proof market.
In the story phase, capex itself was bullish.
In the proof phase, capex becomes a liability unless it converts into revenue, margin, retention, productivity, or strategic control.
That is where the market starts separating winners from tourists.
Nvidia remains the central choke point, but even Nvidia can get hit hard if the market starts questioning circular demand, customer concentration, revenue sustainability, or capex digestion. Hyperscalers can survive because they have cash flow, distribution, customers, and balance sheets. Weak AI names cannot.
Burry is early if he means the whole AI complex dies now.
Burry is right if he means the speculative AI multiple bubble is running out of free oxygen.
The next crash will not say “AI was fake.”
It will say “most investors did not understand which layer actually owned the power.”
OPENAI CFO SARAH FRIAR:
“IN 2026, IF YOU WANT TO BUY MORE COMPUTE, GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
TELL ME, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO FIND IT.”
JASON: “ELON HAS SOME.”
RUBBING IN THE FACT THAT ELON SOLD COMPUTE TO ANTHROPIC JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO JUST TO GET BACK AT SAM ALTMAN.
In Spain, a man kidnapped and raped a 13-year-old girl. After serving his sentence, he was released on parole and taunted the mother: “How’s your daughter?”
Enraged, she doused him with gasoline and set him on fire. He later died.
She confessed and was sentenced to 5.5 years — but was released early after a pardon campaign.
Do you support this hero mother?
A. Yes
B. No
🇨🇳 China is the biggest economic story almost nobody wants to look at too closely.
Global monetary expert Jeffrey Snider says the picture is terrible: a banking crisis, an intractable real estate bust, weak household spending, falling property prices, and economic data that looks worse than almost anywhere else.
“China has several crises all at the same time.”
He points out that Chinese banks are pulling back on lending, except to the biggest state-owned firms and the government itself, while households are not spending because so much of their wealth is trapped in collapsing real estate.
Then comes the bond market warning.
“China’s government bond curve looks like a recession curve. It is massively steepening from an ultra-low level.”
He says front-end rates are near record lows, the 10-year government bond is close to a record low, and China’s demand may have fallen so sharply that it is now changing the global oil picture.
The country everyone treats as the engine of global growth may already be flashing recession signals from every direction.
