    AI whales replace tigers jumping through fire hoops. Zhao Dahai's fear doesn't stem from the AI ​​whales replacing his tigers jumping through fire hoops. Rather, it stems from the irreversible decay of his business model, built on animal suffering, policy gray areas, and increasingly thin public tolerance. The whale fall and the "heaven" phenomenon, like an overly polished, cold mirror, reflect all the unbearable details of his business and offer a "more ethical" alternative. His attack is essentially a conditioned reflex struggle of a dying business model. (C-soda, cats, and a ten-million-euro beluga whale 3)
