Because the Chinese government controls Chinese companies whereas the American government just lets companies do whatever the hell they want.

they’re embargoed by the US, so nobody on good terms with the US can get it.

So no one.

That’s my point though they can’t do that.

The market isn’t just going to wait around for them to get around to selling to consumers again. China is going to see an opening and they’re going to manufacture their own chips and make bank. Then when the traditional manufacturer is getting their head out of their arses then realise there market share has vanished. All 100% their fault.

They have decided to shoot themselves in the foot because someone’s convinced them they won’t ever need legs ever again.

I don’t understand what their long-term plan is here. Even if AI isn’t a bubble eventually all of the AI companies are going to get to a point where they don’t need more compute because they’re working on algorithmic optimisations because they decide that that’s cheaper.

Then they’re going to have to pivot back to the consumer market. Except by that point it won’t even be a consumer market because China will have eaten their lunch.

How much RAM does a time machine require because that seems to be the basic advice here.

The West was making real inroads with Russia before Putin came along.

It’s the same with every dictator there has ever been, they have to manufacture a war in order to justify their iron fist.

Capitalism isn’t the best by any stretch but one of the things it’s good at is making people realise that they will be much better off financially cooperating than having a pointless little war. War generates profits for the military industrial complex, but for everyone else they cost money.

Yes and the examples you provided are so compelling.

Drones don’t pilot themselves humans do it. You’re not going to want to put on board processing on a drone it’s just going to increase the cost to limited tactical benefit. Plus without oversight you couldn’t take the chance it wouldn’t go completely haywire.

I’m not sure how it’s an arms race given the fact that it can’t do anything remotely useful.

The US has absolutely mad road to traffic laws. Zero concept of lane discipline, you driving whatever lane you feel like. Don’t understand roundabouts even though it’s just a curved road, it’s really not that hard. Still don’t have standardised pedestrian crossings even when other countries had them back in the 1920s. A red traffic light only means stop sometimes, but sometimes you can go if you’re turning right. No one obeys the speed limit, people regularly exceed it, and see no problem with that. And of course no one has separate indicator lights and brake lights because when would you ever slow down and go around a corner, definitely no need to engineer for that eventuality.

Yeah the sentence should really be rewritten as “to capture knowledge already accessible on the internet, and repackage it into an utterly pointless hallucinating RAM guzzling money pit”

I’m colour blind so there’s basically only three colours on this graph but what I’m assuming is showing is that windows is decreasing in popularity and apparently so is OS X. I’m assuming the other colour is Linux or Chrome but no idea which is which.

For future reference, when making graphs make them in black and white first and if they are visually distinct then you can add whatever colours you want.

Given that it’s the engine Egyptians, they’ll be cat videos.

Great for you but that’s got nothing to do with what we were talking about which was you thinking that a war between Venezuela and the United States would be a good thing.

It’s the only way to get a pay rise. You have to work with the idiots or they don’t give you any money.

The problem is the people in charge are not the people that should be in charge. I suppose it’s my fault for not getting an MBA.

This guy is into some really weird stuff, and not the normal henti that everyone else is asking for.

I don’t think openAI is as well-known a Google.

Oh good. AI is collapsing and it’s taking Oracle with it.

It might be possible to get into output wirelessly, it has a dedicated radio for video output so presumably if you just stuck an adaptor into your TV you could just cast to it. Could be quite a nice setup if you wanted it to be able to connect to both your computer in the study and your TV in the living room.

Oh yeah, and and they would mostly be terrible, except one brand no one has ever heard of but, it’s apparently a big name in China, and called something like Zloks would inexplicably be the king of that particular niche product.
