Don’t count on China. They are going to invade Taiwan next year and the global trade embargo will be a rounding error to the destruction of the tmsc factories during that war. Or they will capture the fabs and prohibit export to the US. Loose loose for us.

Going to be fucking hilarious when all the western companies get fucked by China taking over the market they don’t seem to care about.

“China, a country that hasn’t invaded another country in 50 years, is going to invade this country” said the country that invades a country once a decade.
Kissaki@feddit.org 1 day ago
China claiming Taiwan is its territory and threatening invasion, the regular military “training exercises”, even including the specific goal of Taiwan landing operations, and continuous hybrid attacks for years already, like invasion of Taiwan waters with shipping vessels, and cyber attacks, and you’re sitting here claiming China isn’t a country that would invade others.
The what-aboutism deflection does work very well on an international comment section, either.
thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 1 day ago
I’m not an expert on Chinese military policy. I just know that all of us living in the West have been told by our media and our government that China is bad for us. I know we see the world through the lens of war.

China a country that has been trying to unify Taiwan since the civil war they could quite finish.

When you live in the imperial core of one of the most militaristic nations in the history of the world, everything seems like a provocation.
nialv7@lemmy.world 1 day ago
yes, because what happened in the past can perfectly predict what’s going to happen next.
not saying you are definitely wrong, but if someone wants to have a bet i wouldn’t bet on the side of China not invading.

If they do it Trump strikes “a deal” to give them Taiwan. That’s my bet.

I don’t understand this thing about anyone destroying those factories for any reason. I don’t think that would happen.

Hmm I know China has a big push for AI as well, I wonder what their market is looking like.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 day ago
AI is the last great bubble.
And it, like all bubbles, will pop.
You are already seeing the people in the know flee the field.
You see reports that every company that has adopted it has at best changed nothing, at worst lost money on it.
Outside of the psychotic linked in CEO bubble, literally no one wants AI. And every day its generating more and more hate due to its halucinations, mistakes, and bullshit.
Its a dying star, and people are frantically trying to harvest the last bits of warmth from it before going off in search of new horizons.
chunes@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I can only assume you haven’t used it for anything it’s good at lately. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Just like we still have websites after the dot com bubble, there will still be LLMs after the AI bubble pops.

The only stories I’ve ever heard of involving AI are told by people who, once again, are unable to see how their increase in productivity is not being met with a reduction in work hours. Unless, or course, “reduction in work hours” means they are being shown the door so a different idiot can do kore work for the same amount of pay.
Why does everyone feel the need to do as much as possible as quickly as possible at all times of every single day? And why are most people I talk to using ChatGPT to replace Google searches so they don’t need to actually think?
We all need to slow the fuck down.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 day ago
worker productivity continues to climb ever higher, yet wages never grow with it.
take someone from the 1950s office and ask them to do the same amount of work that an officer worker today does, and they’d quit on the spot. especially since they’d be paid less today than they were in the 1950s as far as buying power goes.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 day ago
No, I dont use it.
I get enough hallucinations and blatant lies from biologicals, I don’t need an AI erasing a mountain to consume its coal underneath it to tell me bullshit.
balder1991@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Certainly, but hopefully you won’t turn on your PC and have 50 popups telling you to try AI and 10 different buttons blinking asking you to try it.

What’s your source for that. China has no more reason to invade Taiwan next year than they have at any point in the last 30 years
nialv7@lemmy.world 1 day ago
China has been wanting to reunite with Taiwan ever since the founding of the PRC. the reason has always been there, and right now they are more ready than ever.
keep a close eye on what Chinese military is doing.
echodot@feddit.uk 1 day ago
Why are they more ready now than they were 2 years ago? Politically nothing has really changed I know Americans like to think that Trump is a big factor but he isn’t, since even he is just as bullish on China as any other US president has been and it’s not as if the military is left.

Well, our economy is collapsing from bad debt and inflation, we’ve alienated ourselves from our ally’s, we’ve relocated aircraft carriers and are starting new wars.
It’s honestly a great time for china to exert some force.

It’s not about recent tech, it’s about historical territorial claims. Of course, while ignoring history/historic context at the same time.

It’s well known that Taiwan has all strategic factories mined. If a single Chinese soldier steps on the island, anything industrial of value will be blown to bits. China is interested in the land.

They’re wealthy but absolute fucking morons. The people who fall for the “they have money so they must be smart” are such gullible buffoons. CCP is much more competent than American oligarchs, running what could’ve been great with better policy into the ground.
HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
It’s almost as if socialism makes for a better capitalistic system. It’s a lot better when the oligarchs fear the government rather than the government fearing the oligarchs.
