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.

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It's almost as if socialism makes for a better capitalistic system. It's a lot better when the oligarchs fear the government rather than the government fearing the oligarchs.

Hmm I know China has a big push for AI as well, I wonder what their market is looking like.

Edit: https://www.chinatalk.media/p/how-much-ai-does-1-get-you-in-china Ah seems like their AI isn't as big due to lack of access to western chips.

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.

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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 shipping 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.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not an expert on Chinese military policy. I just know that all of us living in the West have been told by our media and our government that China is bad for us. I know we see the world through the lens of war.

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I know you think it’s impossible other countries could be bad because the U.S. is held under a microscope and intensely critiqued both by foreign interests and specific groups here. The U.S. is far from perfect but pretending other countries like China would never do bad is absolutely comical.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 0 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

You don't have to be so defensive. I'm not criticizing you personally.

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 3 points 22 hours ago

I know. I mean it all respectfully

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago

The issue is not black and white like you people that barely got by high school make it out.

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

China a country that has been trying to unify Taiwan since the civil war they couldn’t quite finish.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 1 points 22 hours ago

And the conflicts that do happen, happen at the behest the US and in the interest of US corporations. And the US has control over the narrative surrounding the conflict.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yes, because what happened in the past can perfectly predict what's going to happen next.

not saying you are definitely wrong, but if someone wants to have a bet i wouldn't bet on the side of China not invading.

Spoken like someone who is blinded by the Trump admin, obliviously naive. You must’ve been one of those that thought Russia would never invade Ukraine despite US intelligence.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm blinded by the Trump administration because I don't believe American propaganda about Chinese aggression?

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

No because you’re using your current “America bad” outrage to justify other countries and their expansionism. Other countries can be bad, you know? Many just were unable to do so under American hegemony.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 0 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

China hasn't tried to expand or colonize anyone in my lifetime. America has some so numerous times. Maybe stop being so defensive and look at history without your America colored glasses.

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 1 points 22 hours ago

I never once tried to say the US is perfect but countries are also more hesitant to do things like that due to US policing. So yes, while the U.S. has done bad, its geopolitical stance post WW2 has been mostly successful in stabilizing the world and deterring aggression.

[–] ashar@infosec.pub 0 points 1 day ago

Technically and diplomatically, China and Taiwan are the same country

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 16 points 1 day ago

They've been going to invade Taiwan next year for the last 30 years

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 6 points 1 day ago

If they do it Trump strikes “a deal” to give them Taiwan. That’s my bet.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

I don't understand this thing about anyone destroying those factories for any reason. I don't think that would happen.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 day ago

What is loose, certainly not your anus right? Or, maybe it is!

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.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No, I dont use it.

I get enough hallucinations and blatant lies from biologicals, I don't need an AI erasing a mountain to consume the coal underneath to tell me made up bullshit.

[–] balder1991@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Certainly, but hopefully you won’t turn on your PC and have 50 popups and 10 different buttons blinking and getting in the way of each other begging you to try AI.
