Stop telling me to stop beating my wife, I'm not even married. You don't know what Luddites are, and I don't know what eco-nihilists are.

Again, I have no idea what this is even referring to. I'm sure you mean something with that, but expressed in such a hyperbolic, all-or-nothing way I just don't know what to do with it, sorry.
Sounds like you should embrace a Chinese future just like you’ve embraced AI.
The issues with "AI" is basically that profits once again get centralize while costs are outsourced. "The West" basically means buy our slop, die in our wars, die in the cold when you're elderly, but rest assured you're part of "The West" and "The West" is totally showing "the Chinese" what's what. While they tell their people the same thing. It's the same everywhere, all the time. And the argument is never a track record of success, but forms of "We cannot afford evidence in form of a mushroom cloud". Well, I think you're wrong and falling for liars, I say bring it.
