Further, fear mongering about China's data center/powergrid infrastructure superiority is also the PERFECT excuse techbros need to rationalize building data centers in parts of the US that are in desperate shortage of water for human beings and with precarious electrical grids that are ready to fail in the middle of the next heatwave.

The US is essentially in a second Civil War and this will be one of the main methods in which people are killed, i.e. purposefully setting up the conditions for people to die in a heat wave and have no water so they are desperate... and the only way people in the US are going to stomach it is if they have been truly convinced they have to accept these brutal conditions "because we are hopelessly behind China and we can't afford to stop building data centers!!".

I just want anyone else to win. All the things. I want US Hegemony to end. At any cost. If that's AI then good.

I hate this country the way Saw Gerrera hates the empire.

I hope we loose it so we can get humbled. But if we loose, knowing how we are, we'll likely invent a reason to go to war and steal their talent.

At least we are free*

Capitalism doesn't solve for society, it solves for capital.

There is no profit in making the world a better place.

In my case, AI assistants are even confusing and annoying, but since they cannot be turned off, in my case I have to endure it.

Given that part of my job is evaluating applicants' ability to do the job, and given that LLMs are very good at answering the sort of questions many people ask in interviews, AI is making my job significantly harder.

If someone could make a prompt that actually made an LLM write good code, I wouldn't have nearly as much of an issue.

Chinese infrastructure and manufacturing lead is real. You don't need to believe any propaganda, just travel and observe.

The asterisks are not about their usecase but political.

It's also coming from "AI Experts", so who cares what they have to say. The real question is, what's their angle by saying this?

The US is very much on the decline, and thanks to the poorly thought out One Child policy- China has also likely past it’s apex. But like the US, it too can cause a lot of damage during its downfall.

India, thanks to burgeoning population and rapid industrialisation is probably the most notable nation currently ‘on the rise’.

Every major Chinese achievement from their mass transit system to their big corporations to their economic growth to them pulling ahead technologically to so many more

I see.

China leads the world in scientific publication, even when only taking into account reputable journals and high-impact publications. There's no doubt in my mind the US will decline further with the current attacks on science and education, and anti-intellectualism in general.

to purposefully distract with gays, immigrants so they could keep giving out blowies to billionaires

Look at other corrupt governments and you can see some even more startlingly disfunctional infrastructure.

But for a few fleeting moments we did create a lot of value for the shareholders. Totally worth it to flush it all down the drain.

Close. Conservatism is collapsing the United States of America into irrelevance.

Anyone who is working on the next big project in his garage is just signing his own death certificate. That’s the truth about the American energy industry and capitalism’s free markets make “healthy competition economy” myth. Traditional American capitalism is long dead.
