Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

even if this policy worked (and it won't) how much of an edge does the US even have in this area, two years tops?

when that massive particle accelerator comes online for etching shit is going to get real

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I doubt the US will let China's etching particle accelerator come online.

lathe-of-heaven

lathe timeEven though I highly doubt the current CIA's skills, they're going to find another Chinese scientist in the US to accuse of spying and then send them to China. However, for that scientist to come back to the US and have all charges dropped, they would have to spy on, and then sabotage, the accelerator.

not many people know this, but MSS stands for Must Safeguard Semiconductors

What possible justification is there for placing limits on the "rest of the world"? Besides racism and imperialism, I mean.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

why would this need a besides? or do you mean what's the propaganda reasoning?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah I want to know how they're justifying it. The likes of Biden don't usually say the quiet parts out loud.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's something between Asian Peril and McCarthyism where communist china is trying to take over the world to make you share toothbrushes honestly. I don't think the US needs much of a propaganda reasoning to act against China at this point

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

This isn't just against China, though, it's a bunch of other countries in Asia as well.

It's like they're just openly admitting "if you do business with China you're with the enemy" now.

It's like they're just openly admitting "if you do business with China you're with the enemy" now.

I don't think they've been very subtle about that one even before this

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 hours ago

Punishing countries for just being Asian and trading with China is an escalation - a new phase of an ongoing trend.

They’re forcing the fence sitters to pick a side. I do t know if it’s a good move for them, but they certainly think so

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 hours ago

I mean it was so effective last time

War on Terror USA: You're either with us or against us

France: Can we at least see a tiny bit of evidence to appease our citizens before we start bombin-

USA: Well now French fries are going to be called "Freedom Fries", how about that?

France: look we're largely on board just give us a crumb to justif-

USA: loud screeching

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

Yeah that seems to be it - "if you're not with us you're with the enemy"

What happened to sovereignty?? Possibly one of the stupidest and least enforceable policies ever made

[–] [email protected] 46 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Sovereignty is contingent on whether you exceed the amount of the computing power the United States wants you to have

I am filled with a potent cocktail of disgust and glee at this display of suicidal arrogance from our ghoul overlords, knowing that control is slipping through their bony fingers.

Bidens fat poops are for imperial citizens ONLY. Sorry China you gotta find the right gut microbiome and manufacture it yourself if you want in on the secret sauce.

military ai is literally training on image recognition, you can do it on 4 gb card, if you have the time.

Uh, I think you're leaving out all the human trafficking, drug trafficking, and SA. Not gonna be able replicate that so easily.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, so your ai can generate shitty images of anime waifus with fucked up hands,but can it ship hundreds of tons of opium out of SE Asia???

Lol, AI is shit to begin with. China will probably abandon it and produce some new incredible advancement while the west continues to dump everything into the AI pit and produce no returns. All while our entire economy is just scams from top to bottom.

LLMs are trash (for scientific purposes) but AI in general (which is a very very broad category and contains many useful types of software) has great potential for many technological advancements.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 hours ago

ai is quite good at identifying people to bomb i mean objects in camera in lower stakes environments like not driving afaik

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

produce no returns

Hey that isn’t true! Many of the most evil people imaginable are making billions by using spurious “””AI””” claims to pump up the valuations of worthless companies and products!

Biden handing the future of global development and alignment to China

To me, based entirely on vibes and anecdotal evidence, seems to be the move of big capital. I've seen videos of rich kids learning mandarin years ago, Elong Ma desperately wants to keep the Tesla China market, stuff like that leads me to believe that that is the current plan and not a goof.
