Economic pressure time. You know, the same time a lot of the world outside of Europe and North America has lived in since the end of WWII.

The population is already your subsidizer, even if you work and regardless of how much you make.

I've never felt better about denying that Palantir internship in 2010. Chances are I would have become a fully embedded psychopath by this point.

I think they're talking about the suggestion to not use DeepSeek because China. And I think most here are assuming self-hosting LLMs. I am.

Still bouncing though.

To add to this, it appears that only about 15% of China's exports go to the US. I thought it's much more than that.

So DeepSeek it is then.

I'm guessing because oligarchic corruption is what's most effective at getting the state to work against the majority's interest. Small time corruption where you have to insert coin here or there to get things moving but you don't get power over the state can't do that. It only introduces inefficiency. Oligarchic corruption gets the state to represent the oligarchy's interests and since those are in contradiction with the interests of the majority, the states stops representing it. That includes taking control of any form of democracy that may exist. In the US the oligarchs have obtained control over the state and the democratic system. It's why there are never good options to vote for, but turd sandwich or a giant douche. I don't know enough about China but there are signs that the state is not owned by its oligarchy. E.g. when Jack Ma wanted to make a private bank / payment system that isn't controlled by the state, he took a vacation for a while and returned a changed man.
