The idea of federation is that you have multiple instances of the same medium of social network; of the same lexicon. The same ATProto relay/firehose is the same instance of a social network. As explored in the link I gave you, ATProto does not make mastodon-scale self-hosting of relays easy, nor does it intend to, emphasis on “mastodon-scale”; instead, it makes centralized monolith self-hosting of existing/exported exoduses easy.

That’s a different type of social network, which is also good, but the point is you are heavily incentivized to make another microblog relay.

I support what they wanna do with a credible exit, but claiming that their goal is to or that they do make it easy for multiple different social networks (your PDS is not a new network, it’s data locally stored for the existing network) to communicate with each other is just false

The Chinese release of the Switch has like 18 games in total

I agree, but the article espouses and supports “I will use A.I., even if I don’t know how right now.”, which is literally a quote from it.

As a Chinese person, I think I would know if there were sinophobia in an article calling for “combining any tariffs on China with a welcome mat for Chinese companies to enter the U.S. market by licensing their best manufacturing innovations to U.S. firms or by partnering with them and creating advanced manufacturing factories in 50-50 ventures.”

I really doubt that one could have your position and write what I quoted, which does not seem to be related to pop culture at all either

No though in implementation we should probably cut way back on the Stargate thing

But what makes China’s manufacturing juggernaut so powerful today is not that it just makes things cheaper; it makes them cheaper, faster, better, smarter and increasingly infused with A.I.

Attention, Kmart shoppers: When you already have a manufacturing engine as powerful and digitally connected as China’s and then you infuse it with A.I. at every level, it’s like injecting a stimulant that can optimize and accelerate every aspect of manufacturing, from design to testing to production.

Color me skeptical. I’ve no doubt that AI has a lot of great uses and that research on it should continue, but shoving it into everything and as a magic cure-all just isn’t the way to go.

I was highlighting the best and strongest parts of the essay—the analysis of faults within our system, because his suggestions for improvements are wedged by his AI simping and questionable feasibility given Chinese anti-American sentiments; the Chinese would probably market their ideas for Africa or Europe instead.

This thing hasn’t been written in an hour.

agreed; it’s really well-structured and entrancingly-written from a rhetorical standpoint.

Next I hope Thunderbird’ll restore the GTK/Qt theming support they removed two years ago…
