>"Between Chinese values and American values which do we prefer" You do not have to accept Chinese values to trade with them. And the US themselves does not give a flying fuck about values. They would prop any dictator if it he

I remember back in Siberia, USSR my parents were making bigos often enough when I was a kid. Had no idea it was polish food. We have no Poles in our ancestry

If policing was really "successful" there will not be a single person not charged with some crime. So fuck that. There has to be a balance. Lots of laws serve anything but "the people"

Frankly the amount of books available from before LLM is staggering. The supply will long outlive me. So why would I buy any AI generated one? That is unless it starts producing something really good. Until that happens I suspect there is n
