It's likely to collapse into extreme forms of concentrated oligarchy. It'll be more like Russia and its people will desperately pine for the great nation that it once was and start lashing out.

Sometimes I wonder whether the US-China AI race is the equivalent of the race to the moon.

Some people argue that it was an attempt by the US to try and bankrupt the USSR. I'm not necessarily saying that the AI race will bankrupt the West, but it sure doesn't seem to be leading to a well balanced economy.

That's right, keep spending to play catch up with the US... You'll end up just like the Soviet Union, with things like Buran that flew once.

Billions wasted in this effort.
