They are, even if this particular instance isn't exactly that.

So, the US government is buying Israeli spyware to spy on US citizens for when they speak out about Israeli control of the US government.

Mocking him while linking to a BBC propaganda piece is funny.

No it isn’t. Not since the 80s at least.

Yeah, it's there to catch Saudis that make Israelis dance.

You overstate the advantages of technology. Mughal India was fragmented and on a sharp decline. The British used politics, finance, and treachery to divide and conquer what was remaining.

Do you not understand Iran would destroy ARAMCO, not to mention Israeli desalination and nuke sites? They've been pretty measured in their escalation strategy, they haven't gone to their "nuclear" option yet.

Also, sure the US can kill lots of civilians in Tehran with a nuke. But then what does China think? What about Russia? It starts a huge shit show that will not end well for anyone on this planet.

There is a strong theme of "Chinese people are drones" when you hear about whatever the west's current propaganda issue is. I'm not sure if the poster was explicitly trying to hint at that, or just repeating derived ideas from those that really think it.

Lots of posts about how the CPC isn't really doing the will of the people, they are just following and the people are too docile or subdued to resist. Chinese people are bad at team sports where an individual contribution can play a big part. They are only good at the ones where they all do the same thing.

It ties in with the western ideology that we are unique, dynamic, flawed but able to push ahead in a way collectives aren't.

I will also posit the downplaying and discrediting of Chinese tech and industry is also related with this mindset.

Ah yes, race essentialism. I'd say I'm surprised to see this on HN, but I'm not.

I disagree, they are that good at agentic work.

Says a lot about your morals that you think they are so far apart.

Yes, never trust the perfidious chinamen or their evil LLMs. They are on another level of evil than our glorious and noble western LLMs that are used to bomb schools.

You call yourself a philosopher in your profile.

They were able to bribe those around Maduro and they gave him up. Thats why it went well. Anytime we can bribe our way to victory, it usually works.

When we can't (Iran), well, it starts looking like they have zero clue what they are doing.

Third option: it's true.

have far more experiences than you.

Rich people have lots of experiences. They do not know what normal life is like.

How many is "plenty of people" and what percent versus those of us who get results in minutes.

I know entire neighborhoods where people won't even call the police because they either won't do anything anyway or they will harass and find a way to fuck over the person who called. I know how cops treat brown people versus whites. I know how they will treat you if you have money and I know how they will treat you if you don't.

The people who supposedly get results in minutes are the minority.

I am NOT the outlier. My stories are the stories of my neighbors and everyone I know.

This is a meaningless statement. I can say the exact same thing.

My stories are from what's in front of me and not random, anonymous internet posts.

You are the random internet post to everyone else but you, mate. Try not to be so solipsistic.

I lead a normal life. At my business

You don't know what normal life is in the US.

they discovered my back door open and, within minutes, caught the person who stole something.

Plenty of people can tell you about the cops never bothering to show up to a call, or showing up hours later and shrugging. The fact that this supposedly happened to you is the outlier.

It was total war though, and they were the aggressors who had slaughtered millions of civilians previously. The Germans and Japanese got what they deserved.

Iran and their people are not the aggressors here. They do not deserve it.

Quick question, who were the aggressors in that war? What had they done previously that might have warranted it?

The human rights abuses committed by the Islamic Republic regime

What about the human rights abuses by the democratic regime of ISUS? Do we deserve some war crimes too?

Some small portion may have used ChatGPT for higher quality posts.

Deepseek, Kimi, GLM have comparable quality to GPT for this purpose. More likely they are lying about it to discredit real opposition to data center expansion.

Where is this? Because I live in an area with what is considered one of the best public transit systems in the US and even then the bus system is iffy at the edges of the metro area. I am curious to see your bus schedule.

You seriously can't expect us westerners to listen to the Chinese people about their government. How can we trust them, they are in a police state with the most imprisoned people, have oppressed, immiserated, and genocided minorities for decades, selectively enforce law for the elite, and are initiating wars of aggression across the globe. You can't trust anything coming out of a brutal regime like that.

Err, wait a minute...

This chain has been using expropriate, not extract. Not sure why you mentioned that.

Your story doesn't really relate. I get what you are saying, but your org wasn't copyrighted under you, nor did you expect any monetary returns on it. They stole copyrighted work without permission.

Produced the corpus of knowledge they trained on.

How is it a problem? Say, compared to the... democratic regime here in the US?

Define "much worse". I use DS v4, GLM, and some Kimi with omp personally, and have Cursor with latest Claude and GPT models at work. I notice zero difference in the work for my workflow between Opus and DS.

Really confused how people make these claims. Are you just basing this off benchmarks or your own personal work? Are you an experienced dev or just doing vibe coding?

Don't forget they will celebrate any prison guards caught on video facilitating said dog rape as national heroes. Even rioting to make sure they are released from captivity. Truly a civilized society.

Prices just shot up over a dollar nationally and no one is burning anything down.

The real "let them eat cake" is the biggest polluters externalizing the costs of that pollution down to the people, all while the state is dismantling the EPA and clean energy.

Imagine if we had real public transportation across the nation. Less pollution AND cheaper for the average person. Wonder why that isn't happening.

How do you feel about Americans who go serve in the IDF, and avoid serving in the US military, and then come back to the US?
