Counter point: I know exactly one person who learned Mandarin and several dozen who don‘t. Pretty much everyone learned english and (to a lesser degree) a third language that isn‘t Mandarin either. French, Spanish and Japanese are popular, though.

Classic Fediverse. Can‘t have China critique without the token whataboutism response.

Humanizing AI really needs to stop. They don‘t communicate because they don‘t have a conscience. They just put out letters based on probability and a little bit of randomness.

Yes lets keep depending on fossil fuel imports instead! You know, the stuff we keep burning and rebuying. The stuff we cannot create. That we have to keep buying and burning forever or more likely until climate change has dissolved our civilization. That‘s much more preferable than importing tech right now that we can maintain, fix and perhaps even build ourselves soon. Makes sense. /s

I know the reliance on China is a slippery slope at best and we really have to learn how to stand on our own legs but the beauty of renewables is that we can absolutely do that within a few years. This is an improvement from completely reliance on fossil fuels.

The main reason things are still running as they are during this crisis is because of renewables. Things won‘t improve very soon but they could be so much worse without renewables.

Use the same method Steam uses to push AI off their platform: Let people vote.

If all of the claims from Chinese tech companies and research was half as good as they claim we would all learn Mandarin by now.

Well, it‘s the biggest German cloud provider. Possibly even the biggest in Europe.

We‘re going to see more headlines like this. Probably for years to come.

That was the idea. Tech companies don‘t want us to have nice things because it makes their products look all the more shitty. And so they attack anything open source that they don‘t directly benefit from. Some investors are probably seeing the shitty ink printer business and hope they can degrade 3D printing to that degree too. They take any opportunity to fuck the small people for a chance of making an easy buck.

Difference is that in the Netherlands you will barely come near a car when cycling. Germany‘s cycling lanes on the other hand are barely distinguishable from the road.

Someone isn‘t relax maxxing.

The AI ouroboros grows, but the profit margins shrink.

I remember it like the Metaverse. Or NFTs.

You are absolutely right in that dictatorships are unreliable and will either stab you in the back when you cozy up to them or try to stab you in the front if you don‘t. Unfortunately there are too many people and especially politicians that can‘t let go of the status quo because they either profited massively from it or in other cases at least think they did. They don‘t realize or care that the dream of prosperity by giving dictators what they want is becoming more and more of a nightmare for of us.

Simply put I think too many people are selfish and don‘t believe tensions with autocracies are negatively affecting them.

There is no real way for the EU to enforce Euro adaption. It‘s mandatory. I think Denmark is the only official exception for some reason. But you can‘t force Poland, Austria or Sweden to adopt the Euro even when they vowed to adopt it.

You mean the CEO of an AI focused tech startup blatantly lied? No way! This is impossible.

The title confused me for a bit and I thought the author was just hating on cartoons but it really is a baffling production that no one could‘ve had asked for. A prequel connecting season 2 and 3 is about the last thing I would care about if I still cared about the show at all. Season 1 will forever be peak TV but everything else is just slop at this point. A pity, really. I would love to have more new decent animated shows.

Torment Nexus devs protest being tormented.

Some mobile games already work that way where they claim to be f2p but it‘s just a demo of the actual game with ingame purchases for the other levels. However annoying, it‘s not flat out scamming customers like shutting down servers months after release is. Perhaps devs should still be required to label it as a demo just in case though.

In reality things are becoming more scarce because of AI and I‘m afraid we‘ve only scratched the surface. And all that when we barely have any actual use cases for it.
