They were fine with ditching American manufacturing to make companies like Walmart by moving it to places like China, Bangladesh, etc. I guess this is competition and they don’t like that.



This just shows how speculative the whole AI obsession has been. Wildly unstable and subject to huge shifts since its value isn’t based on anything solid.


The determination to make us use it whether we want to or not really makes me resent it.


Even in Europe most rural small towns I saw in, say, the Alsace region had a bus line at best but most used cars.



The change to electric scooters was the most noticeable thing in China. It was especially noticeable after coming from Vietnam where they still choke on scooter exhaust. In China they like to ride on the sidewalk also so you get the shit scared out of you when someone comes right up behind you without a sound.


It is bad enough having gamers online foaming at the mouth like you just stabbed their mom when you make a mistake in a group.


I think his point in this case is you own the physical item but not the information on it. If not then I could buy some musician’s cd then I could say “Now I own their music” and start selling copies of their cd, publishing it, stealing their rights to it, etc. I think we can all agree that would be bad.
