I think we should clarify the terms in which we think about the LEVELS of Product designers.
After talking to 47+ UX & Product designers, I have observed that a designer's career journey is a series of 5 levels/stages.
A thread🧵 of the 5 levels
American and European enterprises will ditch OpenAI and anthropic and adopt Chinese models. Here’s why:
1. They can host Chinese models under their own GPUs so it’s still compliant and they would argue they have more control.
2. they will post train with their own data on top of Chinese models. That’s how they build data moat.
3. They will not trust anthropic who will retain their data at any time for “safety” concerns like how they did with Fable and then try to build the same thing like how anthropic did with healthcare and legal.
4. They need to justify their AI spend and ROI.
The cure is a reliable America open source model but there is none. After all, if giving away all your data and AI control at the mercy of anthropic and OpenAI means you care about safety and compliance, you are outright stupid.

Game Theory Trick:
A good response to someone playing more strategically than you is to stop playing strategically.
When intellectually outmatched, never try to be smarter. You'll fail.
Instead, try to be less predictable.
Meet your opponent on a ground they cannot anticipate.
Few truly understand this.

Let's talk about why this is less about road safety & more about revenue.
For a country that wants to become Africa’s artificial intelligence (AI) capital, Kenya has developed an unusual habit. It celebrates conversations as though they were investments.

On Wednesday, President William Ruto announced that he had met OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, Haute-Savoie, France. The two discussed establishing Nairobi as the home of the first OpenAI Academy initiative in Eastern Africa, expanding AI education, and strengthening digital skills.

Classic case of human biases- loss aversion, saving 15% is not equivalent to gaining 10%. Same case people don’t pay high interest debt faster which is a better investment than e.g saving in a Sacco
If you told Kenyans that there is a money market fund with a 15% annual return...they will crawl through hot coal to invest their $ there.
Tell the same Kenyan to invest 450k in a heat pump, solar panels and storage batts..saving 70k a year (15%) in elec cost...zero interest
