    @andthegeekshall yeah, a bit weird, to me, that one.

    The thing I find interesting is that they are calling it the AI bubble. But it sounds more to me like robotics. I suppose Unitree humanoid robots, optical transceiver makers, and domestic memory/compute fabricators count, but every journal article I parsed about China (CSL, DSL, PIPL), suggested robotics was cosmetic; they still have comprehensive ambient telemetry collection and population-scale state management

    @drmorrisj finding a lot of journos & tech evangelists these days lumping robotics, and misc tech stuff under the AI umbrella because they seem to go by software rather than hardware. Plus easier to get readers to look at the articles that way.

    Though in a way the Chinese robotics boom is tied largely to their AI/LLM companies so people seem to lump it all together, even though their commercial uses are sold differently.
