It sounds like you agree with me aside from some vague historical wishy-washiness. Ironically, Russians don't really see themselves as "European".

- solardev 3y agoI don't agree or disagree with you; it's too broad a generalization to be useful. Ethically, I'm worried about Chinese cultural genocide and stagnation, alongside European far-right nationalism and fascist resurgences. I don't think anybody has much of a claim to moral superiority here, much less supremacy. I'm not worried about AI developments from either. I think AI is the only chance this planet has at actual moral governance. I have more faith in these models than human government.
- boringuser2 3y agoThe notion that the Chinese are the moral equivalent of the Europeans writ large beggars belief. It's just an absurd, intellectually offensive statement that I generally think you should feel bad about making. Note, I am neither Chinese nor European, an explicitly neutral observer.
- solardev 3y agoWell, I just don't think this provokes the moral outrage in me that it does in you. That's okay, we can have different beliefs. I'm not Chinese or European either, I just don't believe in some singularly great evil (or good, for that matter). Humans are complex, flawed creatures across the world...
