They will most likely catch up like they are doing for electric for electric cars now.
For the Hardware, yes.
But hardware is less than half the battle. Intel found this out the hard way. 3 times.
I would think software is even easier to catch up because you don't need as much physical investment and experimenting is way cheaper, especially with LLM helping to learn now. I think DeepSeek is an example.
Innovation is difficult, but simply catching up with all the public research and open source solutions, not as much.
oh god we will have vibecoded gpu drivers
Literally Google IO this year.
They showed off an OS they allegedly vibecoded with antigravity, tried to get it to run Doom, failed due to missing graphics drivers, then vibecoded the missing drivers live.
I was equal parts appalled and impressed.
It seems the only thing the West is successfully out competing china in is income and wealth inequality.
How are we outcompeting them? China has the most billionaires in the world while having a fraction of the average western minimum wage. We're all in the same boat sadly just some are being told more coherent lies.
oh no we are losing there too.
