might as well not even bother with a prize!

uuh... argentina?

what's wrong with their eyes, is this a frog?

don't worry, they will block china off their market to try and prop up their crumbling industry.

more broadly than ram, from what i've been reading, they are already gearing up to do just that. semiconductors are one of the few industries they are behind on and it wouldn't even be wise to depend on their rivals for their computing.

whether or not they will be able to pull it off before the couple of years it would take for western manufacturers to meet demand, or the ai bubble to burst is anyone's guess, but i don't think so.

a bit of speculation but i don't think they would hate to be the gatekeepers of rented cloud computing to recoup costs after ai busts either so who knows, maybe we do need china to come sooner rather than later and flood the market with cheap computer chips.

stealing intellectual property from billion dollar corporations to be morally neutral

i consider it to be beautiful and commendably moral to steal back what they basically made us do for money/survival then claimed as their secrets only they can profit from, causing the whole predicament we are in in the first place.

being surveilled is always bad. difference being one of them are constantly starting conflicts and meddling with foreign elections, the other haven't been at war for decades.

it's your responsibility to help change things for the better, then.

if it were just a couple of people and just trump. this would not be an issue. it goes way deeper.

but yeah, that's what i'm saying. you are the baddies.

Unless the US does the thing where they decide to violently lash out

yeah they are already gearing up for it 🫩

the global south will have another chance and the east will eventually shine. and a period of peace after the storm passes. quite a lot of nuance and drama and death all along the way.

climate change fucking everything up for the worse somewhere in the middle of all this.

who wants to bet personal computers will become permanently unaffordable for regular people, and they will sell it back to us through a cloud subscription?

yay, big win! :)
