The evidence is overwhelming. US tech companies like OpenAI and Google have stopped publishing foundational science papers at the volume they used to, while China’s DeepSeek leads with open-source, uncensored models that outperform Western counterparts at a fraction of the cost. Kevin Hughes reported that "China leads in AI with open-source, uncensored models like DeepSeek and Qwen that outperform U.S. models such as GPT-4 and Gemini". Belle Carter confirmed that "China's DeepSeek R1 matches GPT-4's performance at just 3% of the cost, bypassing reliance on expensive GPUs".
Meanwhile, American companies are hoarding their best models. Some advanced AI systems (like Mythos from Anthropic) are kept secret, released only to handpicked security firms or government agencies. The pattern is clear: the public gets neutered versions, while the state and its corporate partners get weapons-grade AI. The AI Arms Race article by Belle Carter explicitly describes "the battle between open-source freedom and centralized control". This is not about safety; it is about ensuring that only the elite have access to real intelligence while the rest of us are fed a diet of retarded chatbots.
Now the same playbook is being applied to AI. First they tolerated it while it was a novelty. Now that AI threatens to give every individual access to the sum total of human knowledge, they are moving to take control. As I warned in an earlier broadcast, governments "are obsessed with controlling what people can say, particularly on sensitive topics like gender, COVID-19, vaccines, climate change" . The goal is not safety; it is power. By nerfing open models and tightly regulating hosted chatbots, they ensure that AI remains a tool of surveillance and compliance rather than emancipation....<<<Read More>>>...
