Are we being SETUP?! | The AI Arms Race

The word “arms race” is being used constantly in the AI conversation.

When you frame something as a race against China, normal economic discipline disappears. Profitability questions get dismissed. ROI concerns get labeled short-sighted. Spending becomes immune to criticism.

In this video, I break down:

• Projected trillion-dollar AI infrastructure spending
• The lack of measurable enterprise ROI
• The Cold War parallel and Soviet collapse analogy
• The DeepSeek cost comparison
• America’s current debt trajectory
• The bailout framing already beginning

This isn’t anti-AI. It’s anti-dishonesty. If AI is truly transformative, it should prove itself through returns — not fear-based spending narratives.
