Alice Han and James Kynge dig into why Apple is lobbying the Trump administration for permission to buy memory chips from a Chinese company on the Pentagon's military blacklist. With DRAM prices up nearly 100% in a single quarter — analysts are calling it "RAMageddon" — Apple already raised MacBook and iPad prices by up to 20%, and iPhones could be next. How far will Apple go to secure its supply chain, and what does it mean if Washington says yes? They also break down DeepSeek's landmark $7.4 billion funding round, which is the first time the Chinese AI startup has ever taken outside money. Tencent, CATL, and China's state-backed National AI Investment Fund are among the backers, and the valuation has jumped six-fold in six weeks to nearly $59 billion. DeepSeek built its reputation on doing more with less — so why does it need the money now? And finally: a new sign that China's middle class is changing what it puts on the table. The Economist calls it the "Californication" of Chinese diets: a growing appetite for organic, health-conscious food.

While Anthropic and the U.S. Government continued to try and make amends, there was another seismic shift quietly taking place: open source surged. Between Microsoft reportedly testing Open Source models for Copilot and the powerful new GLM-5.2, there was a clear trend this week in AI world. Missed it all?

On today's show Ben and Andrew begin with a hydration break take as the World Cup continues before turning to the latest on Anthropic's export control saga, what the Trump administration may not understand about AI cybersecurity, and what Anthropic still doesn't understand about dealing with the government. From there: Fables differentiation, the dangers of ringfencing frontier AI within U.S. borders, and how open source Chinese AI may affect the marketplace. From there: Why Ben gives Fox the benefit of the doubt after its Roku purchase this week, whether Siri AI will nuke ChatGPT's market, Noam Shazeer joins OpenAI, what e-commerce will and won't be automated, and whether autonomous driving can scale on ICE vehicles.
Fable — a short fantastical tale with a moral message. For weeks, Anthropic's Dario Amodei was telling anyone who'd listen that he'd invented an AI so powerful it could walk through walls, shoot sparrows from the sky, talk to horses, invent trees. A death star of tech. Whether this was part of the sales pitch or genuine alarm, the US Government has taken him at his word, and shut off access to it beyond America's shores. Suddenly, the biggest tech of the 21st century is at the heart of a new age of mercantilism. The world is waking up. But some of the world was already awake. TP Huang is one of the best China watchers out there. A programmer and tech specialist, he sees an even bigger battle coming. The divergence of chip supply chains, ever since the Biden Administration's October surprise in 2022, now stands ready to produce a space race over not just the chips, but the software itself. In that aspect, China is perpetually six months to a year behind. But is six months really decisive, when you can do everything at a fraction of the cost of your rivals? And when you're not just bowing down before a brain in a jar, but embedding AI in factories and robots? While the world focuses on AGI psychodrama in California and flat-footed despair in Brussels, this week, TP is talking to Andrew Collingwood about the flint-eyed Chinese strategy to build a truly insulated supply chain within the next ten years.

Spencer Pratt — yes, the guy from The Hills — made a campaign ad with AI for zero dollars. No donors, no consultants, no political machine. And it pulled more views than the entire campaign of the sitting mayor of Los Angeles, who's backed by hundreds of millions of dollars. The political establishment spent a decade building a system to control who gets attention… and a reality TV star with a laptop just broke it. In this episode I break down exactly how — because the same technique works in your business, not just a mayor's race. These ads don't land because they look like political ads; they land because they look like movies. I'll show you the engine underneath: a 130-year-old idea from French psychologist Gustave Le Bon, the false-belief framework I teach in Expert Secrets, and the uncomfortable line I think all of us have to draw now that anyone can deepfake anyone for free. I've lived one side of this — I bootstrapped ClickFunnels against an entire industry that said I couldn't compete — so I'm not watching this one from the outside. Key Highlights: ◼️The “$0 campaign ad” that beat the machine — how Spencer Pratt and a four-person studio pulled more views than a sitting mayor backed by hundreds of millions, using a free (and Chinese) AI video tool ◼️The Expert Secrets move these ads run on — “breaking false belief patterns”: they don't argue that politicians care, that the system works, or that you need money to win… they shatter each belief with a story instead of a fact ◼️The entertainment-format trick — why mapping your audience's favorite movies (Star Wars, The Dark Knight) onto their false beliefs turns an ad into something they'll actually share ◼️Gustave Le Bon's 1895 warning — crowds aren't moved by facts, they're moved by images… and why AI just handed that weapon to everyone for free ◼️The line I won't cross — use AI aggressively to compete with people who outspend you, but putting words in politicians' mouths they never said is where it tips from equalizer to dangerous Here's what I keep coming back to: for 130 years, the people who could afford to create images controlled the crowd. That era just ended. AI gave the images to everyone — and once the tools are free, the only thing left that matters is the story. The political machine is learning that the hard way in LA right now, and your market is no different. So the real question isn't whether these AI ads are fair or dangerous. It's this: in your own business, are you still paying for the old machine… or are you the one building with the new tools? Are you Spencer Pratt in this story — or are you Karen Bass? ◼️AI SECRETS CHALLENGE: Most people are either afraid of AI or using it as a toy. Russell built a challenge that teaches you how to actually MAKE MONEY with AI — not just be productive, but build real income. The best defense against being manipulated by AI companies is understanding the technology well enough to profit from it yourself. → https://www.AISecretsChallenge.com ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

Bloomberg reported that Tencent-backed Enflame Technology is preparing an IPO, joining a wave of Chinese AI chip designers seeking public capital. The move follows tightened US export controls in October 2023 and October 2024 that restricted Nvidia's higher end accelerators to China. Chinese cloud providers, including those run by Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu, have tested domestic options such as Huawei's Ascend line to diversify supply. An IPO would provide Enflame with capital for product roadmaps, software development, and partnerships. For global founders, the development adds pricing pressure, increases hardware diversity, and heightens the need for portability planning and compliance monitoring.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

With China and the US taking two fundamentally different approaches towards developing their AI ecosystems, there is a growing camp that believes that China is in an equally strong position to win the AI race despite technology sanctions.

Is the stock market's advance in April and May “too good to be true”? We explore why market pessimism may be missing the bigger picture. Then, Head of Global Small Cap Equities Michael Oliveros joins us to discuss what he learned about artificial intelligence during a recent trip to China, and the emerging economics of space. (Invesco Distributors, Inc.)
The Wall Street Journal reported that Chinese AI start-up StepFun is set to file for a Hong Kong IPO. Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing's Chapter 18C, introduced in 2023, allows specialist technology companies to list with criteria tied to market capitalization, revenue for commercial applicants, and sustained R&D investment. SenseTime's 2021 Hong Kong listing, which raised about $740 million, showed the exchange can list sensitive technologies under robust disclosure standards. China's Cyberspace Administration issued generative AI rules in 2023 that require lawful training data, model safety, and security assessments for public-facing services. U.S. export controls have restricted access in China to Nvidia's advanced accelerators, pushing AI firms to optimize compute strategies. Investors will assess compliance, customer concentration, recurring revenue, and compute funding plans if StepFun proceeds with a filing.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Four stories to close out May — starting with the mostunderrated bull case in the NIO thesis right now.NIO's battery swap network delivered 16% of all EV chargingenergy in China over a five-day period. Not 16% of NIOvehicle energy. 16% of ALL electric vehicle charging energyacross the entire Chinese market. From one company'sinfrastructure. In five days. The market is pricing NIOas a car company. The swap network is becoming an energyinfrastructure business — a recurring revenue platformwith a flywheel that gets stronger with every vehicle sold.Gen 5 swap stations arrive mid to late June, unifiedacross all three NIO brands for the first time. The numberthat is already 16% goes higher.Software stocks closed May as their best month since 2001.The SaaSpocalypse — the fear that AI would destroy SaaS —didn't happen. Dell surged 33%. Snowflake 36.5%.AI is making software more valuable not less — selectingfor the companies that use AI as a feature rather thanrunning from it as a threat.SpaceX trimmed its self-assessed valuation to $1.8 trillionand is still on track for the largest IPO in world history.MiniMax — the Chinese AI company recently compared toDeepSeek — is pursuing a China listing. SoftBank announcedplans to invest up to €75 billion in French AI data centers.The AI infrastructure arms race is now a global story.The US and Iran are "mostly agreed" on a 60-day memorandumof understanding — ceasefire extended, Hormuz reopens,nuclear talks begin. The deal still needs Trump's signature.Oil closed May at $92.56 — down nearly 19% for the month —worst monthly performance since COVID. Watch Monday morning.If the deal gets signed the market opens at a new recordand everything that's been held back by the macro overhangsince February starts to move.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with the news that Beijing moved to further ease hukou restrictions, including why this is a welcome change for millions of Chinese citizens, as well as a look at questions and challenges as the reforms are implemented. Then: A report that Chinese AI talent has been restricted from leaving China, while Beijing continues its efforts to control capital outflow and offshore investments. From there: Indications that the US has indeed paused its second tranche of arms sales to Taiwan, and more details on a US-China board of investment. Then: PRC-Japan updates, including reports of Takaichi recriminations from Xi in his meeting with Trump, heavy rare earth shipments restricted for the past four months, the cards Japan has yet to play, and Mao's strategic stalemate as a stage of protracted war, not an endgame. At the end: An American journalist for Xinhua and other state outlets is arrested and accused of acting as an unregistered agent of the CCP.

As China and the United States race to expand their artificial intelligence capabilities, economists said the two countries need closer cooperation on global governance and safety standards in order to better manage the potential risks of the technology.在中美两国竞相提升人工智能能力之际，经济学家表示，两国需要在全球治理和安全标准方面加强合作，以更好应对该技术的潜在风险。While the US continues to lead in frontier AI research, large-scale models and computing power, economists said that China is rapidly catching up and has developed strengths in integrating AI into manufacturing, consumer services and other parts of the real economy, reflecting different development priorities in the two countries.尽管美国在前沿人工智能研究、大模型和算力方面继续保持领先，但经济学家表示，中国正在迅速追赶，并在将人工智能融入制造业、消费者服务及其他实体经济领域方面形成了优势，这反映了两国不同的发展重点。"There are two main players in the development of frontier AI — China and the US," economist and Nobel laureate Michael Spence told China Daily. "There's almost no measurable difference between them now in terms of performance. Whatever difference there was, China has caught up."“前沿人工智能的发展主要有两个参与者——中国和美国，”经济学家、诺贝尔奖得主迈克尔·斯宾塞在接受《中国日报》采访时表示。“就性能而言，现在两者几乎没有可测量的差异。无论过去存在什么差距，中国已经赶上了。”According to Stanford University's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, US and Chinese AI models have traded places at the top of performance rankings multiple times since early 2025.根据斯坦福大学以人为本人工智能研究所的数据，自2025年初以来，美国和中国的人工智能模型在性能排名榜首位置已经多次交替。As of March, the top US model led by only 2.7 percent, with a marginal gap that fluctuated over the past year while remaining in single digits, according to the institute's 2026 AI Index Report.根据该研究所发布的《2026年人工智能指数报告》，截至今年3月，美国顶尖模型的领先幅度仅为2.7%，这一微小差距在过去一年中有所波动，但始终保持在个位数。"The models of AI innovation pursued by China and the US are actually quite different," said Zhu Min, former deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund.“中美两国所追求的人工智能创新模式其实存在很大差异，”国际货币基金组织前副总裁朱民表示。"The US focuses on large models, massive computing power and a strong foundational base, aiming for what we call 'artificial superintelligence'. What the US pursues is the development of intelligence itself," he said.“美国专注于大模型、巨量算力和强大的基础底座，目标是所谓的‘人工超级智能'。美国追求的是智能本身的发展，”他说。China, according to Zhu, measures AI development by a different yardstick.朱民表示，中国衡量人工智能发展的标准不同。"China, in contrast, emphasizes applying AI to the real economy. When assessing whether AI is good or not, China places greater weight on the benefits and convenience it can bring to the real economy and to people's daily lives," he added.“相比之下，中国更强调将人工智能应用于实体经济。在评估人工智能优劣时，中国更看重它能给实体经济和人们的日常生活带来的效益和便利，”他补充道。Spence noted that China's systematic approach to deployment gives it an edge that the West currently lacks.斯宾塞指出，中国在部署方面的系统性做法使其具备了西方目前所缺乏的优势。"China has, in my view, in the context of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), a better set of either plans or intentions to make sure that AI is deployed by and adopted across a wide range of the economy, both in manufacturing and services," Spence said.“在我看来，在‘十五五'规划（2026-2030年）的背景下，中国在确保人工智能在制造业和服务业等广泛经济领域得到部署和应用方面，有一套更好的计划或意图，”斯宾塞说。"We talk a lot about the diffusion challenge, but we are just talking about it. We are not doing anything," he added.“我们经常谈论推广的挑战，但只是停留在口头上，并没有采取任何实际行动，”他补充道。As both China and the US, along with other economies, are scrambling to scale up their AI capabilities, the risks are increasing too — and not just economic ones.随着中美两国及其他经济体都在争相提升人工智能能力，相关风险也在增加——而且不仅仅是经济风险。"AI carries significant uncertainty, including risks related to society, the environment and potential military uses," Zhu warned.“人工智能具有巨大的不确定性，包括与社会、环境以及潜在军事用途相关的风险，”朱民警告说。"Therefore, establishing a governance framework and safety 'guardrails' for AI is, I believe, the most critical imperative for China and the US as the two leading players in this field, and it is also what the world expects of them," he added.“因此，为人工智能建立治理框架和安全‘护栏'，我认为是中美作为该领域两个领先国家最紧迫的任务，也是世界对它们的期望，”他补充道。"The US tends to favor exogenous governance — building external oversight frameworks for monitoring and compliance," Zhu said. "China emphasizes an endogenous approach, embedding safeguards from the very beginning, even before model deployment, to ensure that AI benefits humanity."“美国倾向于外生治理——建立用于监控和合规的外部监督框架，”朱民说。“中国强调内生方法，在模型部署之前就从一开始嵌入安全措施，以确保人工智能造福人类。”Zhu noted that "both approaches are valid, open to discussion, and could together shape the future of AI governance".朱民指出，“这两种方法都是有效的，可以讨论，并且可以共同塑造人工智能治理的未来。”Spence said the US and China "can probably cooperate on certain aspects of regulation, such as not using the technology for highly destructive purposes".斯宾塞表示，美国和中国“可能在监管的某些方面展开合作，例如不将该技术用于高度破坏性的目的”。China and the US agreed to launch an intergovernmental dialogue on AI, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun announced at a news conference earlier this month.中国外交部发言人郭嘉昆在本月初的一次新闻发布会上宣布，中美两国同意启动人工智能政府间对话。Guo said that China and the US need to work together to promote the development and improve the governance of AI to ensure that it will better contribute to the progress of human civilization and the common welfare of the international community.郭嘉昆表示，中美需要共同努力，推动人工智能的发展，完善人工智能的治理，确保人工智能更好促进人类文明进步和国际社会共同福祉。cooperation /kəʊˌɒpəˈreɪʃən/ 合作

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan explains why President Trump is racing against the clock to lower gas prices, ease grocery bills, and stabilize the economy before early voting begins in the midterm elections, all while the war with Iran continues to squeeze global oil markets and the Strait of Hormuz remains jammed. He breaks down Trump's push to suspend federal gas and diesel taxes, the challenges of lowering beef prices through foreign imports, and why June 1 may be a critical deadline for reopening the Strait of Hormuz before global oil markets face deeper long-term damage. Bryan also examines whether the GOP has a backup plan to hold the House and Senate if voters remain frustrated with inflation, energy prices, housing costs, and the economic fallout from the Iran war. Plus, Bryan covers a controversial rise in cloud seeding and geoengineering efforts from Malaysia to the American West, warning that efforts to manipulate rainfall may carry real risks without stronger oversight. He also highlights the darker side of the AI revolution, including Chinese companies using AI-generated fake American businesses to scam consumers, before closing with hopeful medical news on AI-assisted pancreatic cancer detection, ER diagnosis, and a fascinating study showing that babies in the womb may "catch" yawns from their mothers. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump gas tax suspension 2026 diesel prices Iran war impact, Strait of Hormuz June 1 deadline global oil market crisis, beef prices foreign import quota Trump grocery bills, midterm elections GOP House Senate forecast 2026, Alabama redistricting Supreme Court House seats Cook Political Report, cloud seeding geo engineering Rainmaker drones Utah Idaho drought, Malaysia rice drought cloud seeding military planes, Chinese AI scam fake American businesses online shopping fraud, AI pancreatic cancer detection ER diagnosis OpenAI study, fetal yawning mother baby AI research, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report
Jess, Britt, and Dave unpack everything from Home Depot runs and closet “re-jiggers” to the internet's growing backlash against tech wealth, AI, and Silicon Valley culture. The squad debates whether the Met Gala became a symbol of “techlash,” how layoffs and AI anxiety are reshaping public sentiment, and whether AI will actually democratize opportunity or simply concentrate power faster. They also dive into the wild new AI alliances between Anthropic, Elon, and hyperscalers, the latest OpenAI vs Elon trial drama, and why product adoption, not regulation, will decide the future of AI. Plus, Dave shares major OpenClaw updates, real-world AI workflow automations, Meta fork rumors, and the surprisingly relatable use case of turning meeting transcripts into family “receipt printer” briefings.

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has unveiled a preview of its next-generation V4 model, optimized for Huawei's chip technology and featuring an ultra-long context of one million words.
Alice Han and James Kynge break down the forces reshaping China's economy and its growing influence in the global AI race. They start with the macro picture: China's Q1 GDP came in stronger than expected, but the headline number masks a more uneven recovery — with infrastructure spending doing much of the heavy lifting, while consumer demand remains soft, property prices continue to fall, and auto sales stay under pressure. From there, they move into one of the most striking shifts in the global tech economy: China's emerging advantage in AI. In particular, its rapid rise as a leading exporter of “tokens” — the computational units that power large language models and agentic AI systems. With lower costs, rapid scaling, and increasingly competitive open-weight models, Chinese AI firms are beginning to reshape global pricing and usage dynamics across the industry. They also examine Beijing's expanding use of export controls — spanning rare earth minerals to advanced solar technologies — and how this evolving strategy fits into a broader effort to manage global supply chains and respond to rising economic decoupling. Finally, they turn to China's domestic innovation boom, from unconventional consumer products like in-car toilets and water bikes to headline-grabbing advances in robotics, including a humanoid robot that recently completed a half-marathon ahead of human runners. Is this just spectacle, or a signal of deeper industrial and engineering momentum? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This month we're chatting with Dietmar Fischer about what we will mean by saying "AI" in the future? AI in science fiction, the fact that AI's don't want for anything, jobs and the political effects of unemployment, post-work society and defining what a good life is, the Chinese AI legislation, protecting young people from AI anthropomorphising, AI literacy, the AI bubble, Human extinction, and more
I've got another potential tipping point day for you. Anthropic is making yet more shockwaves across the industry by NOT releasing a model. Why? Because it could potentially break everything software related. Does that matter if the Chinese AI companies will just release everything open source? And Elon says he personally doesn't want a dime from Sam Altman. Anthropic says its most powerful AI cyber model is too dangerous to release publicly — so it built Project Glasswing (VentureBeat) AI joins the 8-hour work day as GLM ships 5.1 open source LLM, beating Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 on SWE-Bench Pro (VentureBeat) Elon Musk Asks for OpenAI's Nonprofit to Get Any Damages From His Lawsuit (WSJ) Learn more about your ad choices.

Qasar Younis is the co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition, a $15 billion AI company that adds intelligence to cars, tractors, planes, submarines, and other vehicles—essentially, Tesla or Waymo without the hardware. He was previously COO of Y Combinator, started his career as an engineer at GM and Bosch, and was born on a farm in Pakistan.We discuss:1. Why the biggest AI revolution will play out in mining, farming, construction, and trucking over the next 5 to 10 years, not in software2. Why Qasar intentionally stayed under the radar for nearly a decade while building Applied Intuition, and why most founders shouldn't do that3. The truth about China's AI capabilities and why comparisons to American companies are fundamentally flawed4. The company values that drive Applied Intuition: speed above everything, laugh a lot, half the work is follow-up, never disappoint the customer5. The biggest lessons from Qasar's stint as YC's COO, including that the most successful companies show traction very early6.
