Is there anybody left who thinks that openai is going to survive? I don’t think it has 6 months of life left.

Their product may be one of the best, but they are more expensive, and they have no hope of making enough revenue to float their business.

MS and Google float their AI with their other profits, so it can work as a business model.

The CCP is not a transparent governing body, by any means, but there is no second body of officials pulling strings. There is no need for a hidden government, as much of the CCP’s dynamics is hidden anyway. Most public decision making is ceremonial, with decisions being made in advance, and opposition being rare.

Xi was picked for succession by his predecessor, Hu.

When Xi was picked, he was picked for the same reasons that Putin was picked - they looked like mild centrist candidates (ironic) Over the last decade, Xi hss focused a lot more on gaining authoritarian control over the party, the military, and the economy - using the law, and power plays. This has taken a lot of power from both the Capitalists, and the princelings.

Ask Jack Ma if he is still happy with Xi.

This wave is likely not as paranoud as you may think. I’ve seen a number of utube commentators talking about a large power struggle in the CCP over the last six months.

I guarantee you Carney was heavily involved in writing it. Nobody writes that speech alone, but he isn’t the kind of guy to leave it to others.

You forgot tue $1billion price tag.

That’s not the really weak part of immutable OSes. The really weak part is that they are not immutable, they aren’t even locked down for /usr/local/bin.

You have to work just as hard to audit an immutable os.

Implying that China is aiming for a peaceful and equotable reunification with Taiwan, is like saying that Putin had to invade Ukraine because they wouldn’t do what he told them to do, or that the Americans have to invade Greenland for their own protection.

Great!?! Don’t the Europeans know how many ski-resort jobs will be taken away by immigrants now? (Massive /s)

And of course we aren’t just seeing starvation of people; we are seeing a complete destruction of culture, education and health institutions.

Has has been slowly strangled over the decades. It is murder.

With 100% risk coverage by the American tax payer, in contract.

How the do you invade Venezuela for the oil, without first getting buy-in from the oil companies? What the hell kind of incompetency leads you to kidnapping a foreign head of state without a plan for what comes the next day?

I thought that Obama got it for the Iran peace deal, despite being the bomber in chief.

This is the only goal the Europe can aim for. Force the U.S. to take a step that they don’t want to, and that they will lose because of. They won’t lose militarily, but they could lose politically and economically in the long tern.

Many Canadians own firearms

Pretty much anything by Adam Curtis is worth watching.

Also: which authorities?

In the EU, SIMs are often free or less than €5
