China Just Crushed America's AI Strategy ... Without Data Centers | 7/21/26

Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

About this episode

The push for hyperscale AI data centers in every county isn't about innovation — it's about centralized control, land grabs, and the surveillance state. China just beat the U.S. tech giants for a fraction of the cost. I’m joined by computer scientist and AI expert Jim Calhoun to expose the massive grift behind America's generative AI strategy. While U.S. tech giants like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Amazon take on trillions in debt to build massive, power-draining data centers, China just released a decentralized, open-weight AI model (Kimi-3) essentially for free. Calhoun breaks down why decentralized "edge computing" is the real future of AI and why Big Tech's current path is a dangerous misallocation of capital disguised as a "Sputnik moment."
