  • but Chinese chips are still a few generations behind and will remain that way for a while.

    Buddy…

    That’s the problem.

    China has “worse” chips, but they’re finding ways to make them beat the “best” chips…

    If China still used Nvidia, then others could rip off their gains in code and training.

    But once Chinese chips are different enough, then all of the Nvidia line the west is sinking money into at an unprecedented rate becomes the guy who sank his inheritance into a Betamax rental store.

    All those data centers, manufacturing, everything, obsolete.

    But American companies won’t admit that, because then they stop making money. And they control the American government, so no one will stop them.

    We’re going full speed towards a massive technological deadend, because the people driving the bus know that if they crash, they can make the government use our tax money to bail them out.


  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that the company’s market share of AI accelerators in China has now dropped to 0%. The drop is staggering, given that the company owned a lion’s share of China’s AI accelerator market just about two years ago.

    “In China, we have now dropped to zero,” said Jensen Huang in an interview with the Special Competitive Studies Project, a bipartisan initiative by American lawmakers aimed at ensuring long-term competitiveness of the U.S. “Conceding an entire market the size of China probably does not make a lot of strategic sense, so I think that has already largely backfired. Maybe it made sense at the time, but I think the policy really needs to be dynamic and needs to stay with the times. I think it would be fairly safe to say that having American chip companies and other companies in China makes a lot of sense.”

    It never made any sense…

    China used Nvidia because that’s what it had, but they have virtually no patent law and a giant workforce experienced at making chips

    Any idiot could have predicted if you cut China off from Nvidia chips, they’d use their own, quickly surpass Nvidia, leaving Americans not being able to ripoff Chinese progress, unless we get our hands on the new Chinese chips if they’re not direct ripoffs of what Nvidia is doing.

    Even if they start that way, it’s a fork. China will do things that Nvidia isn’t.

    Eventually they’ll diverage enough to separate, unless Nvidia is copying China, which means they’ll always be a lag.

    American’s corporate structure is what can’t compete with China. Our corporations own our government, in China the government owns the corporations. And with a one party government that doesn’t have to worry about elections, they can plan decades or longer at a time. Corps by definition only care one financial quarter at a time.

    Both countries have rampant corruption and can do a lot better, but having a government in charge of corps will always work out better than corps running a government.

    The problem is American corps would rather lose if the only way to win is give up their power in America. Hell, we already saw with Chinese EVs that corps can just make the government outlaw competitors so they don’t have to compete and maintain profits.

    If a government controlled corporations, theyd be ok with domestic companies being forced to adapt, or go out of business and be replaced by a new one. In America corporations can no longer fail, and that will eventually cause the country to fail if it’s not fixed.




  • Honestly?

    I think AI replacing office workers is just a pit stop till AI can operate kill drones…

    Billionaires are 100% asking themselves if they really need us, and the fucked up thing is if robots can grow their food, produce their goods and shield their compounds from us…

    They don’t need us. At that point theyre gonna want to get rid of us for the space if we can’t make them money, and where were headed we won’t be able to.

    They “need” a small buffer population that enjoys the oligarchs protection from us, but are loyal because they can be killed/exiled at any time.

    But 99.9999% of the world population, they’re probably ok with killing off already.

    If not, they definitely will be once they squeeze every last ounce of resources out of us and the planet starts really dying. They’ll even convince themselves it’s “for the greater good” to save the planet they killed making their billions.

    They’re just gonna keep getting crazier, there’s no logical reason to think the trajectory or acceleration will change. Eventually it’ll be a literal class war unless we prevent by taking our resources back.





  • It makes sense…

    Just not to you…

    Now that I’ve explained it, you agree that it can be taken that way, but still because you didn’t immediately take it the intended way, you see fault with the writing.

    That is a very bad attitude to have.

    Not immediately understanding what someone means is normal,happens to everyone.

    But if after someone explains it in a way you get, doubling down that the writer was at fault aost guarantees you’re going to keep having this problem.

    You cant force everyone everywhere to communicate in a way that you immediately get, you have to work on being able to view something multiple different ways and identifying thru context what was meant.

    Like, just for purely selfish reasons, you want to be able to understand others










  • OP’s profile:

    Working on Plebbit

    For those who don’t know, that was a shitty hard right wing social media that kept talking vaguely about how it was like crypto and torrenting.

    For years now people have been spamming it to the threadiverse and trying to trick people into joining.

    If you go to this website:

    https://bitsocial.net/

    It lists 5chan as inspiration…

    And people are upvoting and promoting this entirely unmoderated chan board because two seconds of research is too difficult…

    Like, c’mon people, critical thinking is important now more than ever

    Quick edit:

    And to be clear this is the exact same project OP always spams, they just keep changing the name of it. It used to be accessible over the web tho, which allowed everyone to see the fucking horrendously racist, bigoted, and outright illegal shit they want people to be able to post.
