If you are talking about Khalil, he didn't just speak against Israel, it seems like his role in an org which openly supported Hamas may have played a part but didn't matter legally. The legal issue was that he left out facts on his green card application.

I am 100% sure that support of terrorist orgs can invalidate your green card.

According to recent court filings, President Donald Trump's administration said Khalil failed to disclose when applying for his green card last year that his employment by the Syria Office at the British Embassy in Beirut went "beyond 2022" and that he was a "political affairs officer" for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees from June to November 2023.

"Regardless of his allegations concerning political speech, Khalil withheld membership in certain organizations and failed to disclose continuing employment by the Syria Office in the British Embassy in Beirut when he submitted his adjustment of status application. It is black-letter law that misrepresentations in this context are not protected speech," the government said in the filing.

Most of these things are not black/white. We should wait for all the facts to come out.

The analogies are all over the place lol.

Is social media pure evil like tobacco OR is it a necessity like a utility?

How can it be both?

EU pretends it is both while getting backdoor access.

Hard core meditators in Hindu traditions were ascetic beggars and still are.

We just don’t see them writing books or posting on YouTube.

To any neutral non European observer, this is what they may see

1. Europe propped up Russia despite Obama and Trump’s warnings before the war

2. Europe still buys more from Russia than they give Ukraine in financial aid

3. Europe is more friendly towards America’s rival China

4. Europe expects US to spend more protecting Europe than Europe

My assumption: There will be use cases where cost of using this will be smaller than the gain from it. Data from this will make the next version better and cheaper.

The green card queues for employment based green cards for China born applicants tell another story

Even per capita more Chinese are leaving the country for US than the other way round.

AOC is against taxes and other countries paying their fair share?

She realized prices are going up just now?

An easier solution would be money not being power.

The same Gary Stevenson whose memoir claims Financial Times debunked?

Shouldn’t America’s resources (money, military support, Starlink, etc.) then belong to America?

So the US is within its rights to ban TikTok?

Mor businesses participating in health care should drive costs down.

A Chinese company used a Chinese cloud.

Using a Chinese company for every thing except for distillation for which they used OpenAI lol.

A US Tiananmen-comparable example would be ChatGPT censoring George Floyd's death or killing of Native Americans, etc. ChatGPT doesn't censor these topics

Is there any evidence that this incidence was due to poor regulation?

Do you mean this or the response to it? How does one respond to fluff like this?

AI’s workplace impact must align governance, social dialogue, innovation, trust, fairness, and public interest. We commit to advancing the AI Paris Summit agenda, reducing inequalities, promoting diversity, tackling gender imbalances, increasing training and human capital investment

Now imagine that but with everyone in that line except the leaders.

Show me a large scale society that hasn’t have both. This over commercialization may be needed as a buffer against hyper scarcity

I would rather live with ads than with literal bread lines my family stood in decades ago, in a socialist state (that funnily had more govt propaganda than ads).

Don’t blame this on the market. A true market won’t have a heavy handed regulator in bed with a govt approved monopoly.

But somehow you can use us as the world’s ATM!

Imagine a fraction of that going back to citizens!

The funny thing is Russia an China can claim to be less racist as they are homogenous societies.

A US Tiananmen-comparable example would be ChatGPT censoring George Floyd's death or killing of Native Americans, etc. ChatGPT doesn't censor these topics

Somethings never change. Reminds me of this joke from Regan:

Two men, an American and a Russian were arguing. One said,

“in my country I can go to the white house walk to the president's office and pound the desk and say "Mr president! I don't like how you're running things in this country!"

"I can do that too!"

"Really?"

"Yes! I can go to the Kremlin, walk into the general secretary's office and pound the desk and say, Mr. secretary, I don't like how Reagan is running his country!"

Aren't Japan and Taiwan are ethnically homogenous?

China looks at America and shows its citizens what an alternative fate could be, and it works.

Not really though. Still, around ~10k PhDs from China get green cards.

I am not sure if it can be quantified.

There is organic celebration which is good. But we should be wary of and point out astroturfing.

Are we going to pretend astroturfing is not a thing?

The US won't ban DeepSeek from US, but more likely we will ban DeepSeek (and other Chinese companies) from accessing US frontier models.

Western tech gets mothballed because we stick our heads in the sand and pretend we are undisputed leaders of the world in tech, whereas it is slowly becoming disputable.

I am hearing Chinese tech is now the best and they achieved it with banning things left and right.
