Chinese landed a booster today.
The Chinese seem to be treating this decade as a make-or-break decade industrially speaking. They have several fast followers, such as in the area of AI, several strong incumbents, such as in batteries and solar, and several global leaders, such as EV and biology. The goal of the fast followers is to catch up and surpass. The goal of the strong incumbents is to continue scaling and to produce advantages for other areas of the economy. The global leaders job is to take China abroad as a quality brand. If all these areas come together, there won't be an area the US has a decisive lead in by the end of the decade. At that point, the threat of great-power war likely dissipates.
There are a lot of economic challenges they have to meet. Youth unemployment seems like a big issue. Aside from the usual "30 days to collapse" stuff about China, that does seem to be an issue they have to deal with. Perhaps giving people jobs with these large initiatives is the solution to that problem. Perhaps they'll find another solution to it. If UBI is the solution, perhaps they'll be the first to implement it? Perhaps they'll think of something else.
In the US, I don't think a war is likely, nor do I think reindustrialization is likely either. I think the AI drama is more dramatic than it needs to be. There are lots of practical applications right now. There are likely going to be more in the future. If there was an understanding that the government was going to take care of the people, or even liked the people, I think there would be less turmoil in the US over this issue. I think our political issues will come to a head. Could be exciting! At some point the ability of the US to project power and pay for it's excesses (which we're all familiar with) will come to a head and there'll likely be a clash. Some sort of brown-socialist SV-Zionist clash. Infinity brown people + UBI vs SV + flock cameras kind of thing. It'll be pretty ugly, but at some point these sorts of politics will lose their relevance too. Eventually, America is going to have to establish an identity and make things again, and I doubt any foreign faction is going to have huge purchase on that, because their messages ring hollow without a reserve currency to play with.
Overall I doubt the US is going to be the world power by 2040. If we get some more freedom to do stuff, that'll be nice, and fine, fundamentally.
This is all a product of the US's inability to make a political solution to it's problems in the 2010s. I don't think it will. I simply think it'll find itself in a new world in 2040 that'll drag it back to reality. It'll certainly exist, I'm not pessimistic in that sense. I just think the kudzu that's wrapped itself around the tree won't disappear until winter.
If anyone has a more optimistic take, I'm happy to hear it.

perhaps deep down he knew Reinhard was right? He did a lot of "boy, if I were born in the Empire, I'd be Reinhard's top guy" posting, and everyone ignored it because they had like two good admirals.

I would never say what's on youtube and bandcamp for free/cheap is worse than what was sold in music stores 40 years ago. Boomer radio stations dominate to this day, and 'modern hit' stations suck because the good music doesn't get made by studios, because good music in the modern day doesn't need any money to distribute itself. There's so much more quality music minting a reasonable amount of money, with 99% of its listeners listening for free, because it's practical to. No one needs radio, TV, disks, or even Spotify. Technology has delivered us solutions, and we listen to our own thing now. It has segmented the culture, but that's made us much richer. Imagine if we lived in a society where you had to care what was in the top 40, instead of listening to your own thing.

How does that apply to the economy as a whole? For that matter, why did you move out besides a point of pride? And then, if you did it for that reason, are you really complaining? But not everyone has that option.

The latest generation has expectations grounded in the generation before it, not two generations before it. It wouldn’t make sense to take a decline in standard of living as a given. Especially if the generation before it grew up in an environment of rising living standards.

Ironically the "income disparity" discourse does a good job of defining this. Huge gains by a fraction of the population looks good on paper. Even median income isn't "real" anymore because it falls between the two modes. Income centers around the quartiles.

what bubble is the question. If AI is better but less exclusive, profit moves to the infrastructure layer. If you’re serving inference, you make more money from commoditization. NVDIA’s the nigga selling chips. To them, this just means more demand for infrastructure. The pressure is on the labs because they’re struggling to monetize as the industry matures.

Inference demand is gonna feed NVDIA for a century. If you want to run open source, you still need GPUs with a ton of VRAM. Whenever someone wants AI anywhere (except China), NVDIA will make money.
I think what this reveals is labs are on the bottom of the infra stack, and treat themselves like the top of the value chain instead of the rock-solid foundation. Right now, they’re arguing that they need to be given a de facto duopoly on development until they can get big enough that their AGI does everything and then they can pay back their investors. In reality, Microsoft is fine using OA or Kimi for copilot, it barely makes a difference to them. Kimi is way cheaper btw, because they can run it on their own hardware without paying an API fee to OA.

I didn't know that housing is counted as a productive asset that produces a service even to the owner-occupier known as imputed rent, which is the rent one pays themselves, estimated at the value of the rental income if put on the market. That essentially means it's considered a productive asset and not a consumptive asset, so housing buildup is put in the same category as actual industrial development.
I think non-consumptive real estate is extremely toxic to modern economies and we're essentially rebuilding the manor-landholding economic relationship from first principles.

A few people have called this a crash, but the majority opinion is that the housing bubble in China was successfully deflated. Very impressive if so.

People sometimes ask why it's important to care about "sand people in the middle east." First off, everyone should be appalled by the attrocities the Jews commit and stand against them no matter what. Second, Notice that they fought back, and it got better.
Aren't White people in a similar situation with the Nowak murder, and the constant low-level violence and intimidation against our people? In 1982, Hezbollah didn't exist.
