Good Morning, I can’t stop thinking about the AI hype narrative and the momentum this technological wave has upon us. Thank you to all of my readers, we have appeared in Substack’s Technology rising leaderboard this past week. There are many who claim that AI looks exactly like the dot.com bubble.

Hey Everyone, We often associate China’s Generative AI leadership with DeepSeek or Alibaba Qwen.
