Bolivia’s insurrection isn’t about economic grievances. It’s about ideology

Bolivia has experienced over 190 coups since 1825, including 36 since 1945. While protests initially targeted neoliberalism and economic grievances, violence escalated when Movimiento al Socialismo supporters under Evo Morales converged on La Paz. Meanwhile, the American discourse on artificial intelligence has shifted. Although concerns persist regarding computer chips, data centers, and competition with China, the focus is moving from building superior AI models toward the strategic importance of utilizing the technology more effectively.
