Make it legal to jailbreak and reverse-engineer American tech, then I’ll be excited.

Thanks for a genuine answer. What was the riot about, and how did it get violent?

I had spoken about this to my Chinese colleagues, and I heard different versions.

I am actually open to being educated, so please - do explain. I am just allergic to condescending half-truths I see in most comments.

What happened at that square?

I think it remains to be seen. If the vast majority of text I read is synthetic, my writing will naturally start to smell synthetic too.

When it comes to tech layoffs, the AI argument is almost complete BS. If they really wanted to increase productivity, they’d be purchasing agent subscriptions, not laying ppl off.

The layoffs are happening because it is too easy to outsource tech work to exploited workers in foreign countries. In the vast majority of these cases AI should be read as “Actually Indian” (with utmost respect to my Hindu-speaking colleagues, I have learned so much from you).

They are just exploiting the lack of international labor protections, there is nothing new.
