You can‘t compare a bailout with an aggressive offensive. Especially since western car makers and many other manufacturers outsourced to China in the process. There are few to no parallels to be drawn here. A more accurate, albeit tasteless comparison would be the China opium wars. Because that‘s essentially what they‘re aiming to do: Making us addicts to their product.

„Free market“? Speaking of hypocrisy. Chinese car brands are so heavily subsidized they probably cost the Chinese economy more than they make selling them at the moment. China is clearly trying to drown the global market with cheap cars so they can ramp up prices immensely once they have killed the competition and have become a monopoly. China hasn‘t been the extreme low income country to produce super cheaply for a long time and they couldn‘t produce cars this cheap in a free market situation.
Many countries and the EU have measures against such practices because state run operations with the sole purpose to destroy an industry (which this is) undermine the very idea of the free market or even trade relationships.
Alternatively we could start subsiding local car makers and play the same little game China is playing but more cars is honestly the last thing we need right now. Tariffs are a much smoother option to deal with this even when they have a bad rep.
Ideally we use that generated money from tariffs to subsidize public transport so we don‘t get cheaper cars but cheaper alternatives but that‘s still just a dream I‘m afraid.
Whatever the case, one should look at super cheap cars and what that means in the long run more critically.
I as a lifelong coder couldn‘t agree more.
TIL: The English language is computer code, making me a coder apparently.
They only offer Premium LITE now, which feels extremely ironic after rejecting it all these years. It’s like: “So, you declined my offer for years but have you considered… a WORSE OFFER, human?”
Yup. Garbage in garbage out. Looks like they found a particularly hostile dataset to feed their wordsalad mixer with.
Likely a case of what lobby has him deeper inside their pockets. Such a bill would threaten the entire entertainment industry and more.
Wouldn‘t be surprised if the author used AI too but then again bad or let‘s call it „weird“ journalism isn’t all that new.
They never will. Not with shorts. Not ever with AI.
Sounds like a content highway but implemented in the narrowest, most awkward and least usable way imaginable. And they‘re paving the ruins of the search result page that they themselves bombed to bits with it. I‘m almost surprised they didn‘t try to sell this to premium users as the solution to a problem they created. The fact that they roll this out to free users tells me it‘s utter slop that I‘m never going to use.
They‘ll keep building more coal power plants in the global south and export coal. There‘s a lot of money to be made.
Many people have been saying this for the last 3 years and I still think the bubble burst is as inevitable as a future economy that is entangled with AI. The overhype is obvious and a course correction kickstarted by a crash just a matter of time. The stock markets will have a very bad time before governments step in and waste our taxpayer money to give handouts to the super rich. But hey, at least big tech has to try regaining our trust and lie a little less obviously about their AI products for a while so it won‘t be all bad I guess? /s
And these greedy, unscrupulous, technofascist enabling influencers promoted it. This is our current normal apparently.I hate mainstream internet culture with a passion.
Interesting whataboutism going on in this thread but then again this isn‘t much of a news story. Yes, all the tech giants of super powers work for the military and we (the world) are absolutely in a cyberwar with them.
The overpromising is criminal despite what the actual law says. Let the companies pushing AI beyond it‘s boundaries bleed.
All the shareholders of AI progressing companies should do this.
They know it‘s no use telling you all the things you know yourself deep down. No good advice will ever be anywhere near as effective as an idea from your own mind. And they‘re really trying to massage your brain towards having that idea. I think I got that from Inception and even though the older I get the more I think Nolan is kind of a hack, it‘s a good practice. Or at least I think so. I‘m no therapist after all.
Love the meme though. I get the frustration from just not moving forward but the best therapist I have ever had did just listen for about 90% of the time and Shared his own life experience for the other 10%. He was an older guy and he was absolutely fantastic.
For people who supposedly hate China and big government these MAGA fascist are trying to be a whole lot like the worst part of the Chinese Communist Party.
You tankies really have a way with words.
