So, just thinking about this Chinese AI thing and the parallels to how a Fediverse ActivityPub node can run on a $50 Rasberry Pi, but a Bluesky AT Protocol node requires a $30,000,000 supercluster.

EVs are another great example. Here we prop up super expensive monster vehicles while the rest of the world makes cool small affordable EVs. Guess which strategy wins in the long run?

@mastodonmigration @viralobscurity See YouTube channel of Sam Evans (@theelectricviking) for some good background on car companies, not only US ones, putting profits ahead of climate sustainability. Also good analysis on how, as result of better strategy, China now dominates battery tech and has better supply chain and software than most western auto manufacturers. Tariffs won't reverse this. EV sales will surpass ICE cars in China this year. Cheaper & better month after month.
