The vision of a singular, borderless internet is dead. We have entered the era of Digital Feudalism. In this episode, we dissect the "Splinternet"โ€”a world where your physical location determines which AI models you can access, which chips you can buy, and which laws you must obey. We break down the new "Silicon Cold War" between the US and China, the devastating economic impact of the "Zhipu Effect" on Western SaaS pricing, and the new survival strategy for multinationals: Geopatriation.
