This is your brain on propaganda.

It’s top comment because it’s anti-Chinese.

I don't know the original intentions, but I don't feel it's anti Chinese just by itself.

It could be pro-Chinese if you frame it like they give merit to anyone involved, or that they take care of their most valuable employees (maybe they pay them another way), or whatever.

Or just observant of how Chinese labs publish their stuff. (Not sure if it's always like that I haven't take a look at the number of authors in this type of publications. Or at least I can't remember it.)

You need to tighten up your tinfoil hat. When HN features all the discussions on OpenAI's shenanigans on Navier-Stokes, you weren't seeing claims this was anti-US.


> these people are embarrassing

Do you believe avoiding embarrassment is more important than any moral position?

Drawing an equivalence between Flock cameras and Ring cameras only proves that you haven't thought about this issue at all. You're just repeating what you think you're supposed to repeat, like a bot.

Notice that all your examples are cases of speech supporting some out-group being suppressed.

In the Flock camera case, there's no out-group: the speech being suppressed is supporting the rights of US citizens.

On a scale of zero to Mussolini, the US is much closer to the right of that scale at this point.


That’s how we ended up on the brink of an AI dystopia…

It’s a variation on the old Lisp technique of debugging the empty program. You start with () (a.k.a. nil), which doesn’t do what you want, so you debug it.

It’s the difference between “Let’s eat, grandma” and “Let’s eat grandma”.

To have a bug tracker, you only need your git repository (and git-bug.)


True, megalomaniacs also fit the bill.
