Going to be fucking hilarious when all the western companies get fucked by China taking over the market they don't seem to care about.

    Don't count on China. They are going to invade Taiwan next year and the global trade embargo will be a rounding error to the destruction of the tmsc factories during that war. Or they will capture the fabs and prohibit export to the US. Loose loose for us.

    "China, a country that hasn't invaded another country in 50 years, is going to invade this country" said the country that invades a country once a decade.

    China claiming Taiwan is its territory and threatening invasion, the regular military "training exercises", even including the specific goal of Taiwan landing operations, and continuous hybrid attacks for years already, like invasion of Taiwan waters with fishing vessels, and cyber attacks, and you're sitting here claiming China isn't a country that would invade others. What do you make of these kinds of activities, then?

    The what-aboutism deflection doesn't work very well on an international comment section, either.

    When you live in the imperial core of one of the most militaristic nations in the history of the world, everything seems like a provocation.

    Ironic considering much of the world was constantly in conflict prior to Pax Americana.

    America has engaged in war the majority of the post world war 2 era. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan twice, Iraq twice. And that's not including all the proxy wars they've funded.

    Yes every instance was totally bad. The U.S. should’ve done nothing to counter USSR and their dominoes across the world. US should’ve just let every country fall into an authoritarian USSR influenced country.

    Obviously, I don’t blindly think every war was good, such as Bush era Iraq. However, defending Kuwait was 100% defensible in Gulf War.

    The point I'm trying to make is America likes war a lot. China hasn't fought a war in 50 years. It's hard to take Americans seriously when they accuse someone of being aggressive.

    China spent 250 billion US dollars on defense last year. Clearly that’s for nothing.

    The way the US centric world works, you kinda have to, or you risk inviting the US trying to spread "freedom"

    The US has solo hegemony and super power status that has been challenged but never overtaken. US/NATO (for what’s left of it) is the strongest alliance on the planet. My point is other countries are generally hesitant to start conflict due to US policing and involvement.

    They’re wealthy but absolute fucking morons. The people who fall for the “they have money so they must be smart” are such gullible buffoons. CCP is much more competent than American oligarchs, running what could’ve been great with better policy into the ground.

    AI is the last great bubble.

    And it, like all bubbles, will pop.

    You are already seeing the people in the know flee the field.

    You see reports that every company that has adopted it has at best changed nothing, at worst lost money on it.

    Outside of the psychotic linked in CEO bubble, literally no one wants AI. And every day its generating more and more hate due to its halucinations, mistakes, and bullshit.

    Its garnering massive negative attention for its use, and for anyone stupid enough to adopt it at this point (cough intel cough)

    Its a dying star, and people are frantically trying to harvest the last bits of warmth from it before going off in search of new horizons.

    I can only assume you haven't used it for anything it's good at lately. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Just like we still have websites after the dot com bubble, there will still be LLMs after the AI bubble pops.

    The only stories I’ve ever heard of involving AI are told by people who, once again, are unable to see how their increase in productivity is not being met with a reduction in work hours. Unless, or course, “reduction in work hours” means they are being shown the door so a different idiot can do kore work for the same amount of pay.

    Why does everyone feel the need to do as much as possible as quickly as possible at all times of every single day? And why are most people I talk to using ChatGPT to replace Google searches so they don’t need to actually think?

    We all need to slow the fuck down.

    worker productivity continues to climb ever higher, yet wages never grow with it.

    take someone from the 1950s office and ask them to do the same amount of work that an officer worker today does, and they'd quit on the spot. especially since they'd be paid less today than they were in the 1950s as far as buying power goes.
