news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

I hear that slop stops being slop when you cross an ocean :( my sympathies to the people.
At least you can be somewhat more confident in the Chinese government's ability and willingness to not let this grow as a bubble, pop, and annihilate the economy in a way that destroys the lives of a huge fraction of the population, I suppose.
I mean maybe, things aren't exactly great over there atm.
I think hexbear is excessively optimistic about china
I don't think things are perfect (or even going particularly well in some ways) over there. I just think the Chinese government has demonstrated a level of adaptability and competence that's essentially in a different reality altogether than any of the western bourgeois dictatorships (not saying much), so they're highly likely to come out of the medium to long term effects of the "AI" obsession much better off than the west.
nah, 100% they're gonna suffer from the same overbuilding, destruction of knowledge, and sedimentation of culture as everyone else.
