A New Beijing News commentary article questions the comparison that "55% of China's Tokens are used for AI short dramas, while 58% of the US's are used for code": the former figure comes from a listed company heavily invested in AI short dramas, the latter has no authoritative source, and Token usage does not equal computing power allocation. The article points out that video generation is a high-Token-consumption-density scenario: a 10-minute high-definition AI short drama requires 80 million to 120 million Tokens, while an R&D team of 8 to 10 people uses about 3 million to 5 million Tokens per week; as of March this year, domestic daily average Token calls had exceeded 140 trillion.

The author compared the 3D modeling outputs of DeepSwarm V4.1 Flash and Claude Opus 5.5 using the same prompt, and questioned whether the two are at the same level in lighting and floating island details. The tweet includes a comparison video, but no further test conditions or quantitative results are given.
The blogger broke down the three expectation-management moves in Tesla's 7-minute-45-second reveal video for the all-new Roadster: first, set the tone of realism with "it's not AI and it's not CGI"; then pre-emptively desensitize the audience to failure with "success is not guaranteed, and if it blows up we're far enough away"; and finally announce that the Roadster will be Tesla's only manually driven car, while that night's extreme debut was completed entirely on autonomous driving. The blogger also cautioned that the inverted shot with the HUD downforce readout cannot be treated as real-world test evidence, that the single-seat Rocket version with 10 thrusters is not street-legal, and that production is not scheduled until 2028.
