"annexed Hong Kong prematurely" ? I'm not sure what you mean here. Reports I've read are that China was surprised when the UK got in touch a few years before 97, wanting to start the prep work for the handover of HK. Chi

I've done so. I saw a country that is a mix of third and first, full of wonderful people who the government fear so much they have to cut them off from the rest of the world and run the place as a police state.

Oh my goodness, this is deeply untrue. China is facing a massive population implosion. A lot of their global strategy can be understood through that lens: they are racing to accumulate power, standing, and wealth before the implosion starts

Interesting - the account you mention, and the GP, are both doing replies that are themselves all about the same length, and also the same length between the two accounts. I get what you mean.

Most companies won't hire people with a high degree of notoriety. They may hire those people if they have some degree of fame.

Bypassing a paywall does sound a bit like piracy, if you think about it. This is what the commenter is referring to (tho in this case, I don't see a paywall on the article this end.)

The dot com crash was absolutely expected - today's "cmon, get it over with! crash!" tone we see in regards to the AI bubble is hilariously reminiscent of the late 90s dot com bubble. It was the era that spawned the famous Ec

This is a great question, and one that drives right to the key issue! (oh god, that sounds like an LLM response, sorry) Like with the implosion of the Japanese economy, people will just not invest, instead parking their money in low-yield b

People, or organizations, but mainly people, can just refuse to invest in stuff, parking their money in low-interest bank accounts, or the old style "stuffed into mattresses." This was the multi-decade problem Japan ran into after

The Economist front page illustration of the 90s .com stock market, with the heading "CRASH DAMMIT!" Everyone knew there was a bubble. People began to get impatient for what obviously was going to happen, as you say.

A lot of us don't have time for all the long reads, podcasts, or in-depth videos posted in the discussion here. Able to provide a summary for us that expresses your general point? Those interested can then use your link to learn more.

>Only to a very small degree and systems like Germany THANK GOD do not have any AI exposure at all. Well put, and it makes sobering reading to see the impact of what happened the last time Germany was deeply reliant on money from the US.

This is a profoundly important - central, even - issue that I am very surprised to not see widely understood or acknowledged. China is in a life-or-death race against time. A good number of their decisions are explained when viewed through

>and you have to create constant pressure to ensure that stored wealth is best re-invested in the economy at large I have no idea if this is true (I've asked economists-in-training, they say they'll get back to me), but I'

I appreciate people who are confident in their unique, out-of-left-field approach to things! However, there is value also in being able to demonstrate success. Perhaps you might consider doing both things: pursuing your novel ideas, but als

Ah, I see you added an edit of "I think there's also a legal perception that since AI is a new area, anything related to liability, IP, etc might be "up for grabs"." I thought perhaps that's what you meant. A

To sue, do you mean? I don't quite understand what you intend to convey. Reddit has moderately deep pockets. A random forum related to drugs doesn't.

I don't yet see how this case is any different from trusting stuff you see on the web in general. What's unique about the ChatGPT angle that is notably different from any number of forums, dark-net forums, reddit etc? I don't

fumi2026, I don't pretend to understand much of what you've described, but I'm fascinated by the vim, vigor, and what, tho I don't quite understand it all, is a bit of cheeky humor in your github page. Tell us more!

Oh the Voodoo2 - that legendary card is up there with the 1080 in terms of sheer "the future is now" impact. The 1080, of course, had the extra benefit of continuing to be a wonderful card for a truly gobsmacking number of years

I think it may be all summed up by Roy Amara's observation that "We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run."

Just an innocent bystander here, so forgive me, but I think the flack you are getting is because you appear to be responding to claims that these tools will reinvent everything and introduce a new halcyon age of creation - when, at least on

This is why I don't by alcohol online for delivery: the delivery person is required by their company to scan my ID. Places I order from already know enough about me - they don't also need a copy of my identification.

Well, instead of repeating myself manually, I'll paste in a comment of mine here from a past discussion on carbon capture: It's easy to forget why there is a bit of a challenge to getting C02 out of the air: there's so little
