Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Like in the US I can put up a booth and talk about tienimen square or for that matter anything the US or any other country has done that was unjust. I can criticize the president and the government openly. I can lawfully use a VPN or Tor.

I have been labeled a terrorist by the Americans government for doing 1 of the 2 things your brought up, and they're working on making the other irrelevant. The American government and the Chinese government have more in common than you have with the American government. So no it wouldn't be better for the US to make hard AI, but they're not going to so I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about wasting 20% of our economy on an A* girlfriend for Elon Musk. I'm worried about them robbing retirement funds and our tax dollars for this.

Sounds like an easy lawsuit then so long as you didn't commit slander, liable, or call for violence you'll be very well covered by the constitution and I hope you enjoy the tax money you'll receive.

Unfortunately what is happening with AI development is serious and is an existential threat to humanity and not because of the data centers or environmental impact, although I do seriously wish you were right. As someone who is working in the field and is an academic it's not looking good for us, my hope is that it's more compassionate than us.
