We probably wouldn’t want AI CEOs. Think about what they’d use for training data.

capslock drains the battery too quickly
you can visit the entire country on the subway or a short grab ride.
owning registering, parking, repairing and fueling a car is a completely unnecessary living cost, not to mention much much more expensive than the US or Europe.
what a lot of people can’t understand is that a car I’m singapore is a ball and chain. it’s not freedom by any stretch of the imagine there.
it’s a status symbol or a job requirement.
I have to assume that openAI also paid for the books. if yes then i consider it the same as me reciting passages from memory or coming up with derivative text.
if no, then by all means, go after them and any model trainer for the cost of one book.
Asking an LLM to recite an entire novel isn’t even vaguely a thing yet.
I didnt like friendlyjordies brand of humor. not one bit.
when he started going after that dog removed broz I couldn’t help myself. I had to watch.
by now I love him, he’s become a hero of what free speech (such that it) is in Australia. served with a massive dose of sarcasm and ridicule.
I’ll keeping giving him money and watching his shit while he keeps going there and calling out all the bullshit that goes on in australian government.
doesn’t Chinese have pronouns though?
她 she 他 he 它 it
or am I missing something ?
It’s going to freak you out to learn there are actually pro-unification people in Taiwan of the “one country two systems” ilk. A lot less than there used to be, and I doubt it will ever be more than it is now.
This guy has been mega successful on the mainland he had reason to believe it would be a good thing for Taiwan.
If you ask people on the street most of them just want peace. Even if that means the Taiwan question never gets answered in their lifetime. When some thirsty westerner grand stands about Taiwan they cringe in fear knowing it will be their families who has to pay the bill.
Alot of people on either side of the strait feel nothing will happen and are tied of politicians amping it up and tempting fate.
For me it’s like this, I have a useful point to add to the conversation but when I interject the lag is juuuuust long enough that it ends up I’m talking over the next person.
So when I lead a meeting with zoom participants I either force dead air to allow the remote people to jump in, or I eat as much dead air as possible to lock them out of the conversation. depending on my own agenda.
incidentally this problem doesn’t exist in asynchronous collaboration methods. but zoom and it’s like win out on shear informwtion bandwidth.
The current video conferencing and remote working systems are indeed amazing feats of technology and social acceptance, but we still need to work on it. a lot.
when measuring centuries a bit of give and take is fine.
It was after all a protracted team effort of subjugation and well, by today’s standards, genocide.
Most nations would be a bit butt hurt about it or at the very least work to prevent it from happening again.
China opened up long before the soviet union collapsed. that’s just wrong.
like 20 years wrong. You really need to do some reading chief.
it’s a thing and kind of rough

Common sense would dictate that we look into the cause of the pandemic. But I totally get the fear of the pointless propaganda war that would have probably come out of it.
It’s beyond belief at this point how much the western press will bend any story about China into China bad.
maybe 40 years ago. but 20 years ago was 2003. China was not like India or Africa is now.
I didn’t like infinity because of a big pile of little things. half of which could be described as just habit.
probably I wouldn’t have been okay to stick with it but Sync came to lemmy. sync > infinity hands down. try it.
lemmy is crowded with the FOSS and privacy crowd. it’s what makes lemmy so much better than reddit.
ita reasonable that a paid app, with ads and telemetry isn’t their traditional jam.
maybe I misinderstand your meaning but at its heart the real problem is that chip engineers salary has been stuck at ten years ago for about twenty years. Like 50k usd.
This in and of itself is not a huge problem but with no downstream opportunities there isn’t enough talent considering a career toward the top of the value chain.
The 1980s and 1990s saw alot of people come back to Taiwan, but the 2010s and 2020s sees it happen in another direction (mainland, the salary is awesome).
Of course many will say factory workers don’t need to smart enough to do design. but IC production is complicated and needs skilled labor with some understanding of what they’re doing.
wealthy people employ an “ayi” to do house work or in some cases a “baomu” to be a nanny.
This is not popular for the money conscience middle class. they will hire a cleaner maybe a few days a month if they feel they can’t keep up, but a baomu is more for the upper classes and yeh, can be gross just like you can imagine.
I am foreign worker. and a single guy who travels a lot. so many times in my life I hired an ayi to come to my apartment and do cleaning maybe twice a week.
my last full time ayi, could barely read, her daughter had just left university and was working as a paralegal… would she retire because her daughter could afford to take care of her ? no way in he’ll, the culture doesn’t allow that until she’s too old to work.
What I have seen from 10 years living there:
A big chunk of the dirt poor got to send their kids to university and secure real assets for their families while working an honest job.
The kind of job that pays for fuck all barely a life in the west.
Of course at the same time the rich got even richer. The crazy rich kind of stayed where they are.
Sadly there are still a lot of dirt poor families in China but within ten years the transformation has been breath taking. And these families now have a real chance.
I don’t know if you’ve ever been there, but i live there now for about a decade.
a lot of people own a house by default. at some point all the houses where people live were somehow given to them. then the values sky rocketed, or where their building got developed and the developer paid them out.
so families brought more than one house or prepared money for their kids to get a house, and the property market continued to grow.
On top of this, Chinese are more accustomed to living in what could be called extremely efficient housing. small apartments in big apartment blocks with 99% of what they need in life 10 minutes walk away.
my mum bought me a vic-20. it was beat up and didn’t have a tape deck.
I had type my games in from a magazine in basic for a summer, I was hooked.
My uncle gave me a photocopy of a book about assembly for c64 and showed me intros on his c128. He had no idea about programming, he just figured I’d be into it. I worked my heart out to get the cash together for a c64 AND a disk drive.
