Good.
Americans are left with such a terrible, enshittified digital information economy that we must entertain even our enemies for alternatives.

Even if I agreed that such export controls were of significant strategic importance, I don't think it's worth applying extreme pressure to our allies to accomplish it. The notion that China can't innovate becomes less true by the year.
The AI build out is an engineering disaster. China will catch up irrespective of what controls we apply to inhibit them. If we can't out-compete them, then we lose.
It would probably be much easier to out-compete them if we weren't actively destroying the greatest network of alliances in human history. We're fucking morons.
Just don't reply. Been doing it for years in both personal and work contexts.
I just don't use AI at all for this. I only use it for formatting my code, auditing my code, and research (that I verify). I would never use it for communication.
I agree entirely.

Don't get me wrong. We do indeed live in a dystopia. But Mv3 ad blockers seem to be effective--for now at least.
Reddit is unusable without old reddit. Reddit.com is a horrible user experience.
In an economy that viscerally sucks already, this is just another body blow.
Good luck. At my shop, we extended from a 36-month refresh cycle to "when the hardware is no longer capable of running a supported operating system".
SMBs can't absorb these hardware costs.
No surprises there. They're more difficult to drive and have bigger blind spots. Yet, Americans love them even when they don't need the added space.
Literally the only thing I want from modern vehicles is blind spot cameras. And you could argue that's not particularly modern since they've been available for over a decade.
Otherwise, today's new vehicles are privacy dystopias and it's becoming quite difficult to find a decent sedan for a midrange price. I have no interest in light trucks or SUVs.
In short, we'll be sticking with my ICE 2012 Toyota Avalon and 2015 BMW until they stop running. I would like to buy an EV to pair with our solar panels and insulate myself from the whims of the bitch baby in the White House.
But I think I basically can't do that without giving up my privacy.
Everything sucks.

I'll be more specific. The PRC (government) is an enemy to humanity in my view.
