He characterizes current AI economics as structurally irrational, saying companies like OpenAI lose money, require immense infrastructure capital, and are therefore sustained more by hype and fundraising than by productive returns.
Jiang argues that AI firms still have not figured out how to make money from the technology and cites OpenAI's behavior and subscriber economics as signs of desperation.
Jiang predicts the AI bubble will eventually collapse because vast capital has gone in without a durable business model, and he treats sexual-chat features as a sign of that desperation.

Jiang reframes Hormuz disruption as a production-system collapse and argues that escalation incentives make the Iran conflict a political-economic choke point beyond price shocks.
The interview begins as a fight over whether the Iran war has helped anyone, then turns into a harder question: what happens when a regional war reveals that waterways, energy corridors, diaspora hopes, and...

Jiang's through-line is that a declining empire does not retreat cleanly.
Jesus arrives as a poor prophet of the inner spark; Paul turns that spark into belief, obedience, ritual, hierarchy, and a machine that can outlive Rome.
The interview starts with an optimistic claim about a China-US reset, then widens into a harsher model of late-order politics: China and America still need each other, but both systems are drifting toward state...
