"Shemesh herself has drawn attention for her pro-Israel advocacy. Last year, she was ejected from a Toronto Raptors NBA game for wearing a “Free Our Hostages” sweatshirt to the arena. (She argued that her sweatshirt should not be seen as a violation of the NBA’s ban on political messaging because supporting hostages should be apolitical.)"
sure sure, let's agree that taking a stance against genocide might also be better considered "apolitical."
but isn't their strategy literally how they have 90 percent of the wealth? seems a crushingly effective strategy. what do you suppose their downfall looks like? does it happen before or after ours?
basically: big tech being the frauds that they are realize what simply must be the case: that the chinese are also being fraudlent in their claims of cost/ use of banned imports, etc. a man quoted in the article says the hype or hysteria around deepseek is an indictment of so many- (and it is) but he seems to be chiding anyone who believes china or cautioning investors from panic selling their stock. meanwhile the article admits that the release is indeed a step forward, blah blah blah.

i was hoping for a purified echo chamber because that's clearly what this world needs more of.
everyone concerned about their privacy going to china-- look at how easy it is to get it from the hands of our overlord spymasters who've already snatched it from us.
core memory unlocked... and i also used to bring around a milk gallon of water with me wherever i went.. and reuse it
cop cities, surveillance, censorship, etc-- yep, it takes all kinds.
sorry if i seem one-sided its because of the genocide and the shitshow defacto appointment strategy from the dnc et al.. there is a reason the left infights more than the right- there's a logic to attempting to speak to the side that is ostensibly closer to your ideals. what has yelling at or about trump accomplished, btw?
of course its the people who are the problem.. democrats blaming voters is pretty standard procedure.
because the dems put out candidates somehow even less popular.
