For now, once China becomes the dominant power, they will certainly abuse it as much as the USA do.
I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

I was making a joke because it seems AI intervened against the person in independent times, but thank you for your efforts.


You could share sources about this? I don’t know about your biases.


https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ars-technica/ gives a factual reporting score and political bias estimation.


I hope it’s the first proof of general AI consciousness.


As said in the article, in Western Europe you can already use Wero to bypass those and it is spreading in Europe. In France, for the past 40 years, the “CB” network has been available for every basic bank payment card, which is also Independent from the Americans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CB_Bank_Card_Group I think the new initiative will spread, unify and simplify things.


It’s true for software engineering because the salaries in NA are insane due to the insane profits those companies are making. But for the average job, life is better.


That’s possible, I don’t know about the heavy industries. Checked for Toyota, founder was an engineer, second family CEO was also engineer, third was MBA, current CEO is not from the family and is an engineer. In any case, I don’t think having an engineer CEO guarantees anything, aren’t the GAFAM mostly led by engineers but got enshitifified for short term profit anyways?


Are they? Rakuten is led by a business guru and the products are subpar unless they bought them. Also Japan has a huge deficit of native (software) engineers, so most of the engineers at this kind of companies are Chinese and Indian. Which companies are you thinking about?


North and East of France also has beer, similar culture as the neighboring Belgium and Germany.


The problem is that the union is politically weak due to the absence of central executive power able to enforce decisions on country governments. So countries are going to keep looking for their own interest in negotiating their little exceptions or flying under Trump radar to avoid his tantrums.


This is also what China is doing and the only loser will be the USA.


This makes me think, there is some kind of “system creationism” philosophy in the far left that is not unlike the Christian one. Thinking that some all powerfull entity (or group) created/designed the situation by itself rather than thinking it is the result of extremely complex historical chain of events and balance between groups and environments. By extension it leads to thinking that somehow removing the powerful entity magically solves the problem.


I wanted robots to do my chores but instead they are taking my job and my hobbies! Hopefully they become addicted to gaming and don’t to take my job anymore.


I feel there’s some marketing conspiracy with the “office” term. It looks like they have been planning to make it disappear because it is uncool for some new marketing genius or it reduces the target markets, I guess. So they first attached a new term, 365, as a transition, and now they dropped the office while keeping the 365 so recent users can still make the link.
The AI bubble was maybe just a convenient excuse to advance the plan.
Plus, since post-covid, return to office is very unpopular, how convenient!
The plot thickens.


What’s the origin of the attacks against the police and firefighters? Poor suburbs’ youth angry at the system?


It would be ironic if what stops Russia’s invasion war in Europe is the risk of Chinese annexation of Eastern Russia.


I feel this can be bypassed the same way remote interviews have been passed, you have a talented dude A actually trained to pass whatever verification is needed, and whenever there’s privacy, it switches to dude B, while dude A moves to another recruitment process. I think I have heard about this kind of dude A offering his services online for anyone ready to pay.
Anyone else has never seen the face of one of their full remote colleague? I have one in my team, he does a good job though, however many they may be behind him.
Sure, not just world wide like the USA currently.
