I don’t get it

Using “us”, as if your opinion is consensus :) And at the same time ignoring all the abuse resulting from your point of view.

It’s indeed a pointless conversation if one party can simply ignore all the hurt, pain and destruction their proposal causes.

China is a bad relationship?

It’s an exploitative autoritarian regime, institutionalising severe human rights abuses (1).

I’ve got some bad news for you but 90% of what you own is made in China.

That’s not news. It’s not because an abuser buys you gifts, that there’s no abuse going on?

I don’t get the abused spouse like logic, where because you get out of one bad relationship, you’d need to start a new one?

that do not engage with politics in China

There’s no such thing. A person nor company can unilaterally decide “not to engage with politics”, as politics engages with them in thousands of ways. The best they can do is self-censorship, which, even when successfull, is in itself a form of political engagement.

which one is the dictatorship?

False dichotomy 🙄

We need them more than ever now that the US has decided to go full mask off.

Who’s “we” in this case? And why would they “need” someone now, because of stuff in the US?

Further, the guy above goes “look at how Xi is suplexing Taiwan?!?!”

I think you’re the only one reading it that way. The rest of us understand that it happens within a context of an autoritarian regime.

which is in the hands of a private company which largely operates independently of the government

Independent untill the party decides they’re not independent. (Eg).

the guy alone has that amount of crushing power.

Nobody of right mind takes this at face value. This isn’t a pro wrestling heavyweight championship belt, with Jinping suplexing the Hong Kong protestors.

It’s obviously as head of an autoritarian communist regime, using corona measures and a militarized police to suppress people for the extravagant act of desiring freedom from the CCP.

Can you help me understand the use case?

Is it intended to be a variant of Flower AI that can be used in an adversarial environment?

“Red pill or blue pill?”

Depends on what party I’m going to 😎

Additionally it’s convenient tooling to have in place for other undesirable behaviour, as our EU overlords are getting Orbanised.

The EU is planning on introducing mandatory e-identification for everything online (1). This is just laying the foundations (for the children!!!)

I don’t always support censorship. Only when it’s against opinions I disagree with. 👌

Keith will work his ass of if you show him some love, because he’s not used to that

That’s why god gave us the microwave

In uni we always had a verbal defense for our papers. That had 2 benefits: (1) verify that the student actually wrote the paper (plagiarism and ghost writers were a thing before LLMs too), and (2) the prof could test the boundaries of the student’s understanding with additional questioning.

The obvious caveat being the amount of time it takes for the teacher to have a 1-on-1 with each student.

Experts claim it’s healthier than deepfried air

Actually it’s gnu/star trek

Like all pop-science I think they’re really educational on topics I know nothing about. On topics I do know well, I think: well that’s wrong and that’s wrong.
