I have been to China for years. I can guarantee you this wouldn't happen in China. You have to have violence initiated to get arrested there. And yes, they do have limited protest (though not for LGBTQ reasons). Sounds very much America is the real CCP. The myth of freedom of speech. Myth.The land of the brave and free is for the super rich. The rest aren't any better than China.
Just open shop in ASEAN. EU is dead end. Germany? You should consider just joining the government and work on paperwork. That is the greatest growth frontier in Germany right now.
I gave up on Grok. It is going the way of Tesla, SolarCity, gigabattery and Autopilot. Now on GLM5.2 via Open router hosted in SG. Mimo is also good. Their agent is so convenient and Deepseek level cheap. Quality a bit behind GLM5.2. But then Mythos is myth, technically GLM is high up there in quality but on lower end pricing.
It will boost pirated copies on steroid. I am 100% sure many of my friends buying resale will be able to play on day 1 forgoing the resale option. 100%.
Maybe this is just one of the AI firing? It just happen OP did something before the firing announced and put that and firing together. This would explain why others also let go and the repo still there.
Singapore system won't work in USA cities. Their town councils are near scholars level. Quite a few of them doctorate. They are pretty much selected on 2 criteria, merit and perceived likability with accountabilities evaluated both by government and locals citizens. American leaders are selected based on sound bites with zero accountability to citizens for maybe 2 years to 4 years. They do accountable to mega donors which almost always work against for the good of the public. Singapore also have world class city planners that entire America have never experienced or seen before. Heck even China look up to Singapore during 80s and 90s for advice. And the quality of people going to USA in the last 10 years are very low. Look at Singapore Amos going there. Meanwhile hundreds of American engineers migrated to Russia and China.
That old guy already on deathbed from cancer. He basically given death bonus to the country, immortalized like George Washington of Iran. Thank you. Trump! Greatest American and Iranian and world president!
You should read up Chinese satellite images of surrounding Gulf countries. Iran GDP now is growing. Their revenue spike up. The back end of Iran is fully operational with Russia and China shipping in goods on steroid. F35 and B2 no longer flies in Iran.
A Lenovo x280 i5 8th gen with 16gb Ram 256gb ssd cost less than that and run faster with screen and keyboard. You can dual boot Linux and Windows. You can also install OpenClaw or Hermes. Plenty of x280 or L14 in secondhand market. I don't see the point of buying Pi5. Unless you are collector of Pi stuff.
To a certain extent, but not completely. OpenAI and Anthropic are taking losses on their entire offering—that is a huge difference. Amazon, for example, has pumped its profits back into R&D for decades. What AI companies are doing right now is running the Uber playbook on an epic scale. In the US, there isn't much competition, so they can maintain a duopoly. But look at what happened in China: Uber collapsed and pulled out.
Now, the entire world is facing competition from DeepSeek and Qwen at a fraction of the cost. According to a reliable Shenzhen source, they will halve their prices again by the end of this year using newer Huawei GPUs. The current 7nm chips are already bleeding OpenAI dry. By the end of this year, they will upgrade to 5nm, and by June of next year, 3nm. They don't even have to be better—just 95% as good at 1/20th of the price.
I don't see OpenAI and Anthropic surviving much outside of America; they are likely staring down Groupon’s fate. You can research it yourself: China has no issues with electricity because they have a massive power surplus. This is why OpenAI and Anthropic are so scared right now. They must IPO by 2027, because after that, they will suffer the exact same fate as Groupon.
The secret is while they flipping over, they believe whatever that is stays. That way they can claim the improvement as their ingenuity. The correct response is take their knowhow which is their moat but not protected by law and walk over to their competitors. Tank their moat as fast as possible. They want to play we should help them play more challengingly.
Microsoft doesn't listen much. The easiest to get them attention is actively migrate to Apple or Linux. Let's make Windows a niche operating system. That is the only way to get your message across. We all actively pushed from 95% Windows OS dominant in the 90s to now about 65%. Make it 5% and then, Microsoft will be a darling. That is their motivation. They want that coveted 5% niche OS position. We should help Microsoft achieve that.
I just use Deepseek V4 pro and Qwen 3.7 Max at a fraction of Mythos cost. Yeah not 100% on par but in 6mths time it will. If Microsoft and Firefox can afford to wait years or decades to fix a bug, 6mths is good enough for me. Western AI now is like the Vikings living the last days on Greenland during the freezing. I just don't see how they able to compete with Chinese model. And those are trained and run on 7nm. This year end Huawei will debut 3nm (confirmed in Shenzhen). And next year they on roadmap to do 3nm GPU with photonics interconnect.
He didn't realized that speculating stocks allowed by Fed and both parties. The vast majority money needed to prop up American economy right now (or in the last 10 years) have nothing to do with econ 101. It is purely money printing at its finest making Japanese banana money and Germans look amateurish. Fed now basically print money to bank and directed bank to buy stocks and loans as they like to certain orgs and individuals. Any short selling or whistleblowers suicided.
How many threats did actually turn out to be real to date? I couldn't find this being published. But how many threats did happen without any indication (only after the perpetrators tell). I can easily recalled maybe 3-4 incidents. So the issue here is do knowing threats really help?
Deepseek MiMo and Qwen are now dirt cheap and give out free as well with quality about 95% against the very best so called fable mythos. And all that is on Huawei 7nm Ascend. All those companies added up nowhere near 1T and they affect EVERY SINGLE American lives producing parts that Americans used either via patents or parts. And we throw money to Anthropic with almost no moats at best 6 mths ahead. While Chinese companies holding patents more than Google Microsoft combined and with market bigger than entire USA economy. I think maybe investors too are hallucinating like AI. Sound like mega Lehman Groupon in the making!
USA is as censored as what we believe about China. You will get cancelled by Americans if you use "communist" stuff. That is why hardly any Chinese EVs in USA. Because it is communists stuff. The odd thing is iphone is made in China. So it is more of selective enforcement when convenience. Chinese AI even self host means your will influence by communism. You want McCarthy era back again?
You are way behind about China. That was 60s about 60 years ago! Today China is robots. China has way more robots than Japan America and EU all add up together! Their factories run by robots not slaves. You should consider visiting Shenzhen and see for yourself. Or if you are lucky can ask your Chinese friends to register you WeChat and Baidu account and create China version of Rednote XiaoHongShu. That place has uncensored Chinese day to day lifestyle. What you see on America media like YT X FB are heavily censored about China. Things about government is censored. But lifestyle not much. Almost everything in America is censored or fake flooded. You have to be outside of America like in Germany or Indonesia to really see how censored American from what is going on outside of America.
It is basically Tang dynasty with tech and CCP members or politburo running the country instead of just 1 emperor. It is deeply ingrain into Chinese culture for 5 millennia. The closest thing is like American arguing about 1st and the love of guns. We are at around LiSiMin CCP peak China. Hopefully there won't be a repeat of Anlushan like incident. America system is really oligarchy cowboys with private cowboys taking turn running the government supported by other cowboys.
Chinese ghost cities you see online already non ghost cities. Ever wonder why ghost cities topic no longer trending on YT and Twitter? You are 10 years behind the propaganda. Now is more of Xinjiang enslavement even though Chinese factories run without lights using robots. But hey narrative is important to keep population control. Ever wonder what happen to XiaoHongShui access in America? It scare the shit out of government and American media just stop highlighting it.
Doubt it is best. Taiwan China and Singapore easily better than SKorea. Singapore is more unique where everything is resources tight they still able to create that system.
Chinese students study like it is Battle Royale Squid Game. Just read up what is Gaokao. And boosted by nearly 1/3 of household income for extra classes. And other study resources. You have that in America but the volume is closer to 500 to 1. This is why before Trump you see American colleges saturated with 20%+ Chinese students. India also the same but the second factor comes in. Proximity. They build universities powerplant factories port airports in cluster. So wastage due to "in between logistics" minimized. And finally everything is way way cheaper in China compare to even cheapest American town. So even if corruption is bad, the underlying structure ensure efficient output multitude higher than peak America. Another country have similar design is Singapore but they lack the talents and resources of China. This can't be replicated in America. American parents don't go nuts spending 30-60% HOUSEHOLD income for education. Most American parents already struggling paying gas and electricity bills. At best they give their children access to TikTok and Snapchat and hint them do sports like Tiger or Beyonce twerking to fame and wealth.
Just take company secrets and walk over to competitors. That is the greatest perks every engineers have but don't exercise it. Some literally become billionaires. You think China overnight taught of everything by themselves? Go ask what did the Japanese and SKorean senior engineers did over the weekends from 90s to 2010s. Law is only effective if it can be proven in a court and judge sentenced it. Vast majority never even reach the lawyers ear. You advocate means you most likely will divulge. The quietest and least "smart" engineers probably are the smartest and riches.
