I remember that there was a science group that each year got millions in funding, unconditionally. Except everything you discovered would be open for anyone to use.

Because it was unconditional, they could research ANYTHING. And it was very successful, because they could invent things without being controlled by profits or share holders.

It basically worked well.

EDIT: Found some of them. Look up The Invisible College or The Institute of Advanced Study. Also found 4 similar groups in Denmark being funded by private firms (like Carlsberg, the beer maker), where they can study anything and make it public.

It’s true that working conditions is not the same at all in China, which also makes this possible.

Put the technology is still better, even if they acquired it cheaper than possible in the US.

Just like EV’s and battery technology. Up to 40% tarrif on some brands.

They are cheaper with more range. The range is literally only achievable through better technology and hardware.

You can say the same about the whole entertainment industry then. You just prefer other things than short form, visual content.

Lol, I’ve no idea what .ml user even means. I chose an instance with no second thought. They just had a Stardew Valley community I liked.

Already is, but should we compare US and China in terms of censorship?

Do it. Let the US be a closed censored state like it desperately wants to be.

They’ll even put the hashtag #freespeach when they deliver their ban.

China probably have more hope for the future than US right now.

M-series chip might be the biggest leap in newer time in computers. I think that’s pretty well made by Apple at least.

What did Meta innovate? AI profiles?

Imagine if that meant in the people’s best interest.

Yeah, they found out they could win, when they stuck it to X and straight up banned them until they complied.

Just like the big tech companies have different ToS for EU consumers.

Mad respect to them, but it should be normal. But it’s not.
