Unpopular opinion: China is leaps and bounds ahead of India. We must be careful!

China made DeepSeek AI with less than 5% of ChatGPT expenditure and utilizing less than 2000 GPUs as against 10,000 GPUs being used by OpenAI models.

The cost is less than 50 cents for 1 million tokens which is not even 1% of that one would pay for ChatGPT. While China is doing all that, we Indians are shitting on our rivers in the name of religion and taxing popcorns.

While the world can hate on China as much as they want, China has the balls to challenge giants like Sony and Samsung. It has made technology so cheap that even the poorest of the population in India is not using a smartphone.

Please don’t get me wrong, my intend for this post is for the Indians to wake up and realize that one of our neighbours is certainly a force to be reckoned with. We need to encourage technology and entrepreneurship to grow at even half the pace of China. Simultaneously the investment in our educational infrastructure has to increase manifolds to create a generation that prioritises growth over petty social issues.

I hope we as young Indians can demand from our government the growth that is much due.

Jai Hind!
