🚨 Is the Gulf buying the future of AI?
Saudi Arabia and the UAE are pouring billions into America’s AI revolution — investing in companies like OpenAI, xAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX.
But the real prize isn’t just ownership. It’s AI infrastructure, data centers, and computing power.
While Silicon Valley builds the technology, the Gulf is positioning itself to host the machines that will power the future.
💰 Gulf money → AI companies
🖥 AI infrastructure → Middle East
🌍 Power over future technology
Is the Gulf simply funding the AI race — or becoming one of its future leaders?

@AdamThierer The apocalypse narrative got one big thing wrong: jobs aren’t static. AI changes workflows, and demand for complementary human skill shows up fast.
I've thought for a while that AI reshapes workflows more than it eliminates work. The bottleneck just moves, and suddenly you need more humans on the other side. That’s the part pundits keep missing.
"The threat isn’t that AI can do the job better, legal professionals say. It’s that too few humans are going into the field."
"The future isn’t stenographers versus AI, it’s legal professionals using AI to meet industry demand."

@MichaelRosmer@Handre@timurkuran True at the macro level. The problem is productivity gains don’t magically create a new first rung for people who just lost the old one.
@Handre Kiosks were already coming. The wage hike just moved the timeline up. Regulation moves at the speed of bureaucracy. Automation moves at the speed of software.
@basjee01 I keep coming back to the same point: if access can disappear overnight, it’s not infrastructure. It’s a rental with a shutdown clause. That’s the real case for open models.
The AI Price War Has Started.
Something fascinating is happening in AI right now.
The most expensive AI models are no longer the automatic choice.
As competition intensifies between OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta, Alibaba, DeepSeek, Moonshot AI and others, the cost of intelligence is collapsing.
The result?
✅ More powerful AI
✅ Lower operating costs
✅ Faster innovation
✅ Greater access for businesses of all sizes
What’s even more interesting is that some of the biggest disruptions are coming from China 🇨🇳.
Models like DeepSeek, Qwen and Kimi are delivering increasingly impressive performance at a fraction of the cost of premium models.
This changes the game.
The winners in the AI era won’t necessarily be the companies using the most expensive models.
They will be the companies that:
• Understand their AI use cases
• Select the right model for the task
• Build intelligent workflows
• Maximize ROI from every AI dollar spent
The future of AI isn’t about buying intelligence.
It’s about deploying intelligence efficiently.
As AI becomes cheaper, the competitive advantage shifts from access to execution.
The question is no longer:
“Can you afford AI?”
The question is:
“How fast can you integrate AI into your business before your competitors do?”
What’s your view?
Will premium AI models continue to dominate, or will low-cost open-source and Chinese models reshape the market?

@GasBuddyGuy I think this is the key distinction. Oil reprices at screen speed, gasoline reprices at distribution speed. $3.25 nationally in 2 weeks still feels aggressive.
AI translation removes a real bottleneck. But language was never the whole operating model. Local regulation, trust, and incentives still decide what scales.
Regarding the subtopic he raised: this time, globalization won't fail America.
The trend I see with our real-time AI translation service is that operations are moving closer to headquarters.
This means fewer country managers and local middle managers, with Americans directly managing local Japanese, Latin, and other workers as more Americans communicate in any language they desire.
This applies not only to management but also to local businesses, which will be more likely to invest in the American economy without language barriers.
Our Japanese clients are perhaps doubling their investment in America, moving away from the Asian market as English is no longer a barrier with JotMe.
We will continue contributing to this AI-native globalization movement and aim to facilitate economic growth for America and our allies.

There will be a hard correction in semi stocks in 2028/2029 where fwd P/E will compress to 15-20x.
Mutilple will expand again on 24/7 autonomous agents(mostly Inference), robotic and hybrid quantum system in 2029/2030.
Pretty good medium-long term.
Not Financial Advice! DYOR!
@Andre_Dragosch I wouldn’t treat this as some magic US recession trigger. What matters is the carry trade. A lot of global risk was built on near-free yen, and repricing that gets messy fast.
@KyleReidhead The market keeps acting like efficiency kills AI demand. I think it does the opposite. Cheaper tokens just make intelligence cheap enough to plug into more workflows, which usually means usage goes up, not down.
@VraserX Sci-fi got this part right a long time ago. Robot labor was always the obvious endgame. The real fight is whether the abundance reaches people or just gets monetized by whoever owns the robots.
Just a reminder: #Pakistan not only saved so many precious lives but also saved the economies of Gulf countries like Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and the ungrateful UAE. We saved them from the Stone Age; they should forever be indebted to Pakistan
