Former GM Executive: BYD cars are good in terms of design, features, price, quality. If we let BYD into the U.S. market, it could end up destroying american manufacturers

  • Michael Dunne has been competing the entire time, for the Chinese. His statements here aren't fear, they're shillery.

  • Free markets were always a terrible idea, the USA economic system was basically founded on principles of regulation of goods like tea, tobacco, and alcohol.

  • Uh, to be clear, I don't think Michael Dunne is advocating against China in this context. He worked in the Chinese auto sector for decades. He isn't an alarmist, he's their salesman.

  • I'm conflicted about this because on one hand people deserve to know the truth from a primary source.

    On the other hand, wouldn't it be easier to interview the people who delivered Hitler's lunch than it would be to buy Hitler lunch a couple of times a month?

  • A pie is more than three alphanumerical characters to you. You can eat pie, things like nutrition, digestion, taste, smell, imagery all come to mind for you.

    When you hear a prompt and formulate a sentence about pie you don't compile a list of all words and generate possible outcomes ranked by statistical approximation to other similar responses.

  • Yeah no shit, AI doesn't think. Context doesn't exist for it. It doesn't even understand the meanings of individual words at all, none of them.

    Each word or phrase is a numerical token in an order that approximates sample data. Everything is a statistic to AI, it does nothing but sort meaningless interchangeable tokens.

    People cannot "converse" with AI and should immediately stop trying.

  • I haven't trusted Mozilla for a long time. They've very shadily constructed a business model which is part for-profit corporation seperated from their other nonprofit component which appears to serve little purpose other than optics. Most of their funding comes from / came from Google. Their suits make a lot of terrible statements about emerging tech all the time.

  • The trend was that every younger generation was more progressive than the last. Gen Z polling breaks the trend. Gen Z voted for Trump at a higher rate.

  • Yeah because I sure as heck don't have a server, a backup server, a backup backup server, and a second backup backup server but a billion dollar business does and more.

    Even when Linus tech tips had a setup exactly like that, it failed. The technical requirements for highly secure and reliable long term storage are worth more than the money I have saved in BTC.
