I believe the best future for both of us — on the eve of the A.I. revolution — is a strategy called: Made in America by American workers in partnership with Chinese capital and technology.
That's it, we reached the point of reverse Deng Xiaoping
Lol who came in here and downvoted specifically this?
lmao some lib got triggered
I think it's hilarious he thinks Chinese companies who are used to a Chinese work ethic would want Americans to be running their factories. Anyone who's seen American Factory knows just how huge the gulf is in workplace culture.
When taiwanese chip manufacturers tried this a few years ago the work culture shock set the project back for years. And Taiwan is closer to the west culturally than the PRC.
Many people are calling me "Gnipoaix Gned" folks! 
Huawei officials said in 2024 alone it installed 100,000 fast chargers across China for its electric vehicles; by contrast, in 2021 the U.S. Congress allocated $7.5 billion toward a network of charging stations, but as of November this network had only 214 operational chargers across 12 states.
lol
$35,000,000 per fast charger? I need to get on this government grift.
It's a wonderful case of the feds can't build them directly, so they give a bunch of money to the states, but they can't build them directly either, so they give that money to local governments, who are under no obligation to actually spend it on the chargers, and there's grift at every level.
Federalization is a fucking joke.
Even 'Electrify America' which has built about 4k is a company that essentially exists as a punishment-deal for the automanufacturers. So they're incentivised to build them, but much less so to actually maintain them or keep them reliably online.
Teach your kids Mandarin.
My highschool was the first I had heard of in the state that had Mandarin as a language course, they told us it would be the best language to learn if you were getting into business in the future. Over 15 years ago they knew, I regret not taking it now 
It’s funny they were right for the wrong reasons
The second best time to learn is right now I guess.
Get ready to learn Chinese, buddy
Guy in China's tech sector notes that "the bosses" want to put AI in everything, even stupid shit like refrigerators
This gormless fuck: "WOW AI IS SO COOL I LOVE AI AI IS THE BEST CHINA IS DOING BETTER THAN US" 
the full quote is... oof
A young Chinese auto engineer who once worked for Tesla here told me: “Now everyone is competing over how much A.I. is being inserted. Now you brag about how much A.I. you insert. Everyone is committed. ‘I will use A.I., even if I don’t know how right now.’ You are preparing for that, even if you are on a simple production line for manufacturing refrigerators. ‘I have to use A.I., because my boss told me to.’”
stupid investor hype is apparently universal
: “Hey hey…why don’t the poors use AI? Don’t be a luddite, kiddo! It’s the fuuuuuture!”
: “I use AI every day from my 2017 car’s safety features.”
It’s probably the case, but isn’t there like with EVs, you go somewhere to charge them and grab a bite and then your car texts you when it’s done charging? I know that’s how Tesla sold the superchargers back when I was a lib and thought Muskrat was the coolest person ever. Just call that “AI”.
Lmao, what would they even put AI in FOR? It’s a fridge. As far as I’m concerned, if technology doesn’t look like something straight out of Dragon Ball or Pokemon, I’m not interested.
Let me guess: they want me to pay a subscription on top of the fridge I bought and then also show me ads.
To say it has AI in it. Behold, the AI rice cooker:
yogthos has returned!
thanks for all the posts
And while many Chinese engineers may not graduate with M.I.T.-level skills, the best are world class, and there are a lot of them. There are 1.4 billion people there. That means that in China, when you are a one-in-a-million talent, there are 1,400 other people just like you.
Total oversimplification. Yes, population is an important variable but so is education and employment. It does not matter if you have 1400 potential geniuses most of then are not being educated. It does not matter if you have 1400 potential geniuses if there are only a dozen positions in the economy relevant to their work. And more importantly, it really doesn't matter if you have geniuses at all, because genius intellect is not how things get done.
In liberalspeak: you have to utilize your human capital to its full extent!
Yes, educate everyone and have 1 billion experts solving 1 billion problems. An Einstein is eventually among them
Besides, the focus on single genius individuals is liberal/patriarchal brainworms. It's far better to have a team of well educated, smart, happy and collaborative people than to have lone savants working independently to feed their own inflated egos.
Our best and brightest go on to promising careers as labor parasites in the stock market
Someone needs to tell these nerds that this is good, actually
They're just racists how else can you explain it
Like if someone demonstrates so visibly what is obviously a superior system of governance you would think we would just copy that thing.
Our government is just totally hamstrung by ideology. Even the liberals are unable to admit that state investment is a good thing and creates tangible public benefit. Sad really.
There's racism for sure, but it's more than that. American government is damn near a religious institution, with the Founding Fathers as the prophets and the Constitution as the Bible. It's more than ideological. It's dogmatic. And just like with religion, they pick and choose which parts they believe to justify their goals at any given moment. This is also why they won't adopt a system that does the best for the most people possible. Their religion/government demands a hierarchy where a few enjoy paradise, and the rest suffer.
