terrible week for meta and government overreach in ai:
meta's being forced to sell Manus (flagship ai agent product) back to china for the same price they bought it at 1 year ago ($2B)
Manus's revenue has 4x'd since then. bargain of the century for chinese investors. guessing manus will ipo on chinese markets shortly after
crazy precedence to set for venture capital markets. china hasn't attempted something like this for 10+ years.
ai's clearly becoming a point of tension for geopolitical ownership. everything from the GPUs running the models to the founders of the software will be forced to remain nationalized
seeing a similar attempt play out with the US banning claude fable 5.
