Technological acceleration will be fought between two different versions - cynical Yarvin technofeudalism promoting data serfdom by American Empire and FOSS self-hosting where everything is so cheap, all have a chance to be sovereign
Technology should end up cannablising capital - the problem with Surveillance Valley is that it ends up being the other way around - China knows this so it will use open source to bleed it out by a thousand cuts in the AI Cold War
FOSS is a great way to disrupt and shrink proprietary rent-seeking - if everyone can run highly robust models locally for basic things like search, text analysis that kills 90% of GAE AI startups
The need for competent strong anchor states is still pressing, but it's no longer a zero sum game, all or nothing - both can happen. A strong New Islamicate state with a grassroots self-sovereign ethic - both must happen
Yarvin Technofeudalism will continue to spread bland and flat monocultural supremacy as a new patch on legacy post Cold War power. Chinese anchored AI localism can allow for multiple technological futures
The great hope from Deepseek is that individuals may no longer have to choose between Empires, but that by removing the guardrails, proprietary moats, rent-seeking monopolies, sovereignty is diluted down to the individual, allowing cultural multipolarity - accelerate.
