Those people are mostly just butthurt they aren't the beneficiaries of such "cronyism" and think themselves smarter than everyone else, just less well connected. It's the reason all the ancaps in that hbo documentary with an alias go by John Galt.

People who don't look at or fret the prices at the grocery store.

I was talking with a friend the other day how the SAT/ACT is just a stat check on your parents's income. Kids who were just grinding flashcards for hours to just barely pass a class were getting 1500s.

He has an abcs of authoritarianism children's book he coauthored too. Had to do a double take when I saw that one at the library.

We've come 4/5 of the circle jajajajajaja

Chinese interference is when you have unaddressed domestic issues you'd rather ignore and the more you have the more interference they are doing.

Unilateral sanctions hit different when someone is enforcing them on you.

The contradictions are sharpening but I think AI and generative AI in particular is this decade's vaporware. The vaporware of the previous decade was self driving cars.

As it stands, generative AIs are just expensive parakeets. Getting them to do anything other than spit up probabilistically correct information and sentences would require them to have comprehension, not just associations between strings of words. The path to comprehension, much like autonomous driving, is long, expensive, and unclear.

Both nascent technologies offer the ability to squeeze, displace, and replace labor and so they naturally attract investment from excited but stupid investors.

These investors are so dumb they gave Adam Neumann, disgraced former WeWork CEO, money for another real estate startup.

The prospective bourgeois buyers of AI are not any smarter. I've seen high level execs complain the chatgpt they bought doesn't know when some internal deadline for quarterly planning budget is due. How the fuck would it know? The damn thing read all of Wikipedia and a half dozen SharePoint pages, of course it doesn't know.

I will be citing Beavis and Butthead v The Commonwealth of Deez Nutz as I was told by the AI it applies.

Can't wait for the second round of papal nazi ratlines 🤡

I suspect with the G20 debacle and continued Russian oil trade and weapons purchases, Pentagon stenographers will become concerned with the status of Indian democracy soon.

BYD cars are unsafe unlike glorious Tesla autopilot jajajaja

I author content at the economist so I can post it here and double dip on the clout.

I'll return the rec with another. Katherine's journey east is also pretty good. American who got her phd in China and tours/blogs small rural towns. Same to it not being bs.

Anecdotally, I feel less greasy and sludgy after eating fried Sichuan dishes than comparable fried Western dishes.

Cope, seethe, and order crab rangoons and shrimp fried rice instead of 辣子鸡.

I went to the homepage to see what the FEE acronym stood for and dear lord, every article has such a vile headline and thumbnail.

The self awareness into faceplanting into the propaganda lmfao

Oh no, this guy we were rude to clapped back on Twitter. How could he!?

Mfw democratic imperial Japanese collaborators and military dictators 🤡🤡
