Commitment to efficiency is at the heart of communism. Here's why I love China, taken from the article.
The United States and China approach AI differently. The trillion-dollar valuations of the great American technology companies mainly come from consumer entertainment. China, as Huawei’s Zhang said, has no time for poetry. Rather than guess when the machines will become sentient or when AI will replace human beings, China has focused on the automation of drudge work: inspecting parts on a factory conveyor belt, checking the bins near the coal face for foreign objects, detecting anomalies in machines, picking containers out of ships and placing them on autonomous trucks, and so forth.
My dream would be to live in China, it has such a different culture from the west. While I know I'll never live there, visiting the country someday would be lovely.
My dream of living in China is probably a pipe dream, but I'm never giving up hope. I'd love to talk shop with you if you are up for it.
Honestly, I don't know what you mean but you can talk to me about anything.
What's your favorite vegetable
I know you're making fun of me, but I'll answer. It’s either carrots or broccoli. I really like both.
both of those are absolute legends of vegetables. not a bad choice.
They are classics. Also goes perfect with a hummus dip.
Watching chinese youtube channels about rural life makes me envious ngl. Chins rural villages seem so idyllic.
Living in any of China's big cities would be more appealing to me. The rural villages look nice, too.
Seeing china construct the first automated port in tianjin really surprised me as a westerner, you'll and I'll never see these type of innovation in the west. AI's and robots will be used for some cool and 'narly' way instead of actually being useful. And thing is that I'm glad this is the case, as capitalist countries would put that type of innovation as union-busting or maybe even re-vitalising industry, yet the sheer corruption and incompetence of these CEOs and industry gurus make it so even the most recent 'innovation' breakthroughs are either 'meh' or some broken down, watered product that'll never be useful.
