So is gambling.

this shit will fade in to the into the domain of low skill grifters.

Seems about right. It just happens you can really get ahead by being a low skilled grifter in today's world.

It really isn't. This seems like rewriting history for views, although it's still an interesting read. This article is basically:

At the root of this reactionary thinking was a writer and public intellectual named George Gilder

- followed by an explanation of how his influence started and grew there, followed by a fair degree of mental gymnastics to how well-it-didnt-seem-to-be-there-but-it-really-was.

Societies change, I'm sure his and a number of factors less colluded that the article suggests also did contribute to it, but it wasn't the same. IMO the biggest transition has been from Silicon Valley being fostered to create an investment hotspot to Silicon Valley being targeted by increasingly classist special interests that were losing their competitive traction because of how much influence its innovations were having on the rest of the world.

Take your whataboutistic absolutes somewhere else, there are uncensored models and the fact that there is potentially heavy censorship behind the major ones to serve political interests is not a good thing.

I can't believe the US' first dictator will be this diapered decrepit senile old scammer.

You probably crossed an admin and didn't even realize it. Reddit is really utterly shit behind the curtains, they just happen to put on a good face that has generally fooled politicians and influencers alike. Most people care about what's behind the curtains like they do with politics, not much at all, so they keep getting away with it specially due to the heavy control they have on the narrative. You know societies will begin to give a shit about social networks and what that is doing to our real societies when you actually have a recourse against their Black Mirror Nosedives.

Now our governments will give a shit for AI IP trampling. Or at least it would, if the "leader of the free world" wasn't so busy threatening it and re-prioritizing concerns. Eat the shit pie whole, Elon.

Talk about a shitload slice of the irony pie, the industry that has not given two shits about intellectual property is getting undone by the masters of intellectual property theft and they don't even have a recourse because of the bed they've made. Now, it's time to lie in it.

Virtue signalling idol virtue signals, more at eleven.

Whataboutism is basically their go to. Their mind doesn't understand people actually being capable of critical thinking and being able to criticize both things, they just project their own personality cult belief system.

It's like those fairy tales Zionists try to convince you about that every belief system should seek their own nation. It's easy to come up with free land when you have zero value for the people living on it.

So back to migrant farmers, but without the pay.

A lot of technology goods. Which basically means China, which was already doing a lot of their manufacture, wins out. China is going to be moving all in on the US international market as it continues to ramp up this way, and the US will be left increasingly alone when it is eventually forced to aid Taiwan in its defense.
