I liked your post addi below for hashrate. My understanding is similar the difficulty level is adjusted so there is constant maintained of 6.25 bitcoin mined every 10 mins which is why overall it will taken 100+ years to mine all the bitcoin this is the race tracks. The individual miners are the racers.
Think some people are conflating the 2 points. The race tracks and the racers.
1. Hashrate or difficulty Is increased or in other words race track just gets longer or complex so the overall constant of mining bitcoin of every 10 minutes is maintained and is constant.
2. Qbt and their mining software puts them at an advantage, because no matter how difficult or long the track gets as per point 1 above, there Ai knows the shortcuts.
3. therfore in the end qbt win the race, as they are at an advantage while everyone is at a disadvantage.
Fg uses the example of mining gold in the interview which also explains it well.
