this kind of stuff really does boggle your mind I find

You really can’t make this stuff up. It’s just astounding how the US is basically a hermit kingdom with the majority of the population barely even registering that there’s a world outside the US.

I just love how Americans think they’re the whole world, and that everybody has to care what’s happening in their shithole of a country. Truly the most demented nation on the planet.

I reapeat myself you’re an ignorant fash who thinks liberalism is the human default, your lack of capacity for rational thought is just incredible. Maybe go a read a book yourself for once in your miserable life. https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-myth-of-the-default-society

the AI derangement continues

You’re right, it’s not a crime in any country where rich pedos rule over the people and cannot be accountable for their crimes. Nowhere did I say the US is the world, it’s just the model for the rest of the western regimes.

Ah yes, innovation in China is so stifled that China leads in critical technologies across the board https://itif.org/publications/2025/09/23/how-china-is-outperforming-the-united-states-in-critical-technologies/

Liberalism is literally just fascism when the going is good https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-dialectics-of-domination

You’re an utter ignoramus and an imbecile.

" to expand Alibaba into a finance" is not intrinsically a crime in a country which allows pedo oligarchs to own everything and rule over the working class

Jack Ma was punished because he wanted capitalists to start having control over the economy. Calling that courage reveals what you stand for.

Enjoy living under pedo oligarch regime that fits with your fascist ideology. Your conception of freedom is literal fascism.

Jack Ma paid because he tried to expand Alibaba into a finance and do what western tech bros do. I love how you call Chinese government ‘the regime’ really highlights the quality of your ‘intellect’.

Weird how the only reasons you see articulated are ones deeply rooted in liberalism though.

Ultimately, the most performative folks are those judging others without making something better themselves.

I guess we can agree on something. People screeching about AI without actually doing anything productive are the worst.

The difference is that China actually deals with corporations when they act shitty as happened with Alibaba and Jack Ma because China has a dictatorship of the proletariat which creates different material conditions from the dictatorship of capital you have in burgerland. No exceptionalism needed to explain this, just minimal capacity for critical thought that some people lack.

Stop trying to take performative outrage away from liberals, it’s literally their whole identity.

You do realize LLMs are made outside the US as well. I have zero problem with Chinese companies making LLMs that are released in the open and you can even run on your own hardware.

While that’s true, a lot of the enterprise still runs on Windows, and that’s where a lot of money is. Also, while you certainly can live without Windows today, vast majority of non-technical people simply aren’t going to want to change. Unless Windows gets so bad that it starts driving people to find alternatives, it’s going to be very hard to displace.

I’m far more optimistic about this happening in China because there is a national effort to become technologically self sufficient, and that means getting off Windows on a national level. And we already see Huawei designing HarmonyOS along with their own hardware, which isn’t tied to any legacy tech.

Again, the suggestion that new forms of automation should not be accepted on the same basis as slavery is imbecilic beyond belief. You are a clown.

I’m guessing it’s the Windows desktop monopoly. I’d love a laptop with a chip like M series in it that could run Linux, but the market is just too small for that. Everything except the chip itself is pretty standard and any company could make. But designing and producing the chip itself is still a hard problem. There is some hope though because there is an effort to do this in China right now https://xiangshan.cc/en/

Ah yes, new form of automation is just like slavery. You are so very intelligent.

It’s pretty clear that this tech has been accepted already outside a few fringe online communities.

apparently this is too hard a concept for a lot of people on here to wrap their heads around

The whole energy use argument is deeply misguided because it rests on the assumption that the situation would be different without AI tech. That is completely at odds with historical precedent where we already saw the same pattern with stuff like crypto. Other things like streaming media also use huge amounts of energy. Singling out this one particular tech seems strange to say the least. And of course, the actual problem stems from the way capitalism works, and if you’re genuinely concerned about this then focus on that. As long as capitalist relations continue, energy waste will continue to be baked into the system.

And it’s so very American of you to assume that everybody should care about what’s going on in your failed state. The fact is that this tech is being developed in China as well where these problems don’t exist. Which comes back to my previous point that the issue is with the capitalist relations rather than the technology itself.

The efficiency of these systems is improving at an incredible speed. You can run local Qwen today on a consumer grade laptop that beats a frontier model from less than a year ago. In a year or two, local models will be the norm for programming. The whole hyperscale compute thing is just a brief mainframe era of this tech. So, using that as an argument is just silly.

Meanwhile, all content is human made because LLMs are just a tool that a human uses. This whole narrative is frankly bizarre beyond belief.
