you are correct. Western news media wants it to be bigger than it is right now, because if you check the last month or so, the only people ever talking about 4B movement are western liberals and hmm i wonder why Western Media outlets are obsessed with talking about 4B since trump became into power. Dubious motives.
what are you talking about lmao. US is playing "who should we start war with next". I guess you watched too much mainstream media and cross checked information with media outlets outside US and independent journalists. To be fair it's normal to be ignorant like yourself when mainstream media is a lot more channels than people think.
lmao. these americans are hopeless arent they? "Rigged to explode" LOL. Not to mention China is catching up fast on chips.
American propaganda...one day Americans are going to wake up and realize, China has taken over in all areas of tech and Americans are going to be in such denial that they'll want war... sigh. China is already leading in many areas, not all of them yet, but they soon are
Someone's not privy to how fast China is progressing nowadays. Americans are so ignorant on Chinese technological prowess right now. Chinese EVs are dominating every market in the world aside from US which has basically banned it essentially, otherwise we'd have very affordable cars in America. America banned DJI drones which owns about 70-80% of the world market on drones. China recently unleashed an open source AI model (and this is with limited funding and compute because they put a ban on exports of US and Taiwan chips) that rivals openai o1 with a fraction of funding. Not to mention how China has always had the lead on manufacturing automation and robots.
Man Americans are oblivious to how fast China is progressing.
Can Americans live without cheap goods from China? Yes, but those goods may not be easily accessible in a short period. The same goes for Chinese people. Although there are indeed alternatives, Qualcomm and NVIDIA, for example, still dominate the market, simply because they can offer the best product. And those alternatives, from my view here in China, still have a way to go.
China's progress is real, but there are still many things like cutting-edge semiconductors and airplane engines they cannot compete in and thus rely on the West for.
The Chinese leadership is well aware of this and is massively funding efforts to build these indigenously, but they're chasing moving targets and still decades away from catching up.
No. South Korea should be more alarmed about how US is treating their allies.
Henry Kissinger quote: “It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.”
I strongly dislike Kissinger and his legacy, but apparently the full quote [1] doesn't imply being America's friend is fatal:
"Word should be gotten to Nixon that if Thieu meets the same fate as Diem, the word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal."
Here Kissinger is advising Nixon not to let South Vietnam's dictator Thieu suffer the same fate as Diem (who was deposed and killed with the US support, or at least, the US turning a blind eye).
Which part do you think is wrong? Are there not Wagner mercenaries in Africa? Is Russia not working with Iran? Were Russian operatives not caught sabotaging infrastructure abroad?
what kind of nonsense are people in the comments mentioning. it shouldn't even be remotely considered.
wtf kind of BS to allow any remote semblance of programmers deserving consequences? if programmers received EXECUTIVE level pay then yes, they deserve the rammifications, but they do not, executive pay is ridiculous with their already inflated salary, ridiculous bonuses, and stock buybacks. whoever gets paid more is the one that deserves the consequences.
Thats the WHOLE GODDAM REASON THEY ARE IN THAT POSITION.
Sam Altman is a businessman through and through based on his entire history. Chances are, he will have found an alternative means to make profit on
OpenAI and he wouldn't do this on "charity". Just as how many CEOs say, I will "cut my salary" for example, they will never say "I cut my stocks or bonuses" which can be a lot more than their salary.
Either way based on many CEOs track records healthy skepticism should be involved and majority of them find ways to profit on it at some point or another.
I dunno, the guy has basically infinite money (and the ability to fundraise even more). I don't find it tough to imagine that he gets far more than monetary value from being the CEO of OpenAI.
He talked recently about how he's been able to watch these huge leaps in human progress and what a privilege that is. I believe that - don't you think it would be insane and amazing to get to see everything OpenAI is doing from the inside? If you already have so much money that the incremental value of the next dollar you earn is effectively zero, is it unreasonable to think that a seat at the table in one of the most important endeavors in the history of our species is worth more than any amount of money you could earn?
And then on top of that, even if you take a cynical view of things, he's put himself in a position where he can see at least months ahead of where basically all of technology is going to go. You don't actually have to be a shareholder to derive an enormous amount of value from that. Less cynically, it puts you in a position to steer the world toward what you feel is best.
