China making AI open source for all their citizens. It looks like they will be the first country to reach the age of abundance and post scarcity.

China is reportedly making top AI models open source for its citizens, utilizing distillation to achieve quality comparable to expensive subscription-based models in the West. This approach contrasts with the USA, where advanced AI models are often locked behind high-tier subscriptions. Some speculate that China's strategy could lead it to be the first country to reach an age of abundance and a highly AI-integrated society, potentially benefiting its citizens more than those in the US.
