Mmm, AI! China's Tech Boss Says 'Doh!' to US Trade War, More Coffee!

The AI Whale: Not Just Another Fish in the Sea

Woohoo! So some brainy guy named Jerry Ye went back to China and started this company called Whale. Not like Moby Dick but still sounds pretty cool. They sell AI stuff to help stores and apparently Starbucks Xiaomi and Unilever are buying it. Mmm Starbucks... I bet they use AI to figure out how to put more sugar in my donut orders! Last week they got like $60 million from fancy investors. Sounds like enough for a LOT of donuts!

Trade War? More Like 'Trade Snore!'

This Jerry guy says the whole U.S. China trade war thing? Doesn't matter! 'Business is business,' he says. Like when I trade my soul for a donut... totally worth it! He's selling to companies all over so who cares if America and China are throwing digital rocks at each other? As long as I get my Duff beer I'm happy.

AI Race: China vs. USA Who Will Spill the Milk First?

Apparently China and the US are racing to see who can do the AI thing best. Jerry says China is all about marketing and sales while America is messing around with tiny stuff like transportation and lawyers. 'Doh!' Lawyers... maybe AI can finally get rid of those guys! Southeast Asia will just copy whoever wins. Sounds like Bart copying Lisa's homework except with robots.

No Shortage of Computing Power? Excellent!

Jerry claims China has plenty of AI power. No shortage of electricity! Woohoo! He says everyone's got the cloud thing figured out and now chips in phones and toasters are getting smart enough to run AI. Toasters? Mmm smart toast... Maybe it can tell me when my bacon's perfectly crispy! He thinks the real AI fight will be in these everyday gadgets. Sounds like Skynet but with better coffee.

Show Me the Money! (and Donuts!)

Marketing and sales is where the money is at he says. If you use AI for that you see results in a week! That's faster than it takes me to eat a box of donuts! He says AI can make ads that are super personal like they know I want a donut with extra sprinkles. But he also warns that AI videos can be fake. Real life is better he says. Like a real donut not one made by robots!

Starbucks and the 5 Minute Coffee Miracle

Turns out AI is making your Starbucks coffee faster! They're using it to get your caffeine fix to you in under 5 minutes 98% of the time. If one Starbucks is too busy AI sends your order to another one nearby! Doh! That's genius! No more waiting in line behind Marge while she chats with Patty and Selma. More coffee for Homer!
