MetroWind··on The AI Race Just Got Awkward
It's funny how the western world seems to believe every single decision in China is made by the government. You guys really give the CCP too much credit. China also has plenty of closed models just FYI. You never heard of them because they are only available to the domestic market.

At that point the US will complete its China conversion and turn on the GFW so you can't access Chinese AI services.

MetroWind··on I don't like passkeys
It ultimately comes down to this: it is utterly dangerous and stupid to depend your accounts on third parties (including your phone).
MetroWind··on I think you should almost never use AI to write
Unfortunately people don't usually "write", at least not in the sense this article describes.

> blog post, a research report, a memo, a thoughtful email, a novel

Normal people don't write blog posts, research reports (because normal people don't do research), or novel. They also don't write "thoughtful emails"; they just write low effort normal emails.

MetroWind··on Nitter and XCancel resume service after legal advice
> Back then I made a site, because you wanted to make something of my own, in my style, as I wanted

You were the minority. Most people don't know or want to make anything of their own, and they don't have style. They just follow others, and whatever others follow, hence the internet (and the world) now.
