I always thought the term “Wumao” sounded suspiciosly like “woo Mao.”
- Comment on China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report 3 days ago:
Even this Chinese company, why do they care to clone it all? It’s already all hosted and publicly available.
Until it isn’t. Perhaps they are preparing for a future war with the US and assume their access to all that code will be blocked. They want to copy it now while they have access.
- Comment on China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report 3 days ago:
You can’t block open source projects from anyone.
I think they were referring to blocking GitHub from public access. In the event of a world war I could easily see Microsoft obeying the order to shut down GitHub.

It’s not about laws at this level but about whether it is worth to do vs possible repercussions
Again, what repercussions? Who will enforce an ICC judgement against the CCP? Laws aside, what possible actions could be taken? I guess sanctions but that’s unlikely over something like this.

You seem to be joking but it actually is well documented.
- The 50 Cent Party, or 50 Cent Army, is the colloquial term for Internet commentators, who are hired by Chinese authorities in an attempt to manipulate public opinion to the benefit of the Chinese Communist Party. It was created during the early phases of the Internet’s rollout to the wider public in China.
The name is derived from the fact that such commentators are reportedly paid RMB¥0.50 for every post.

Linkerbaan is similar but hasn’t evolved yet. Still an obvious shill.

Do you just not have a full grasp of biology or are you too busy getting in your head about some shit you made up?
Yes. Both are true about antivaxxers.

He doesn’t have the best genes when it comes to hair loss. Have you ever seen what he looked like when he was younger; before he got the hair transplant?

What does Google’s cloud service have to do with what we’re discussing (Google indexing content vs. SO doing it)? They’re not even similar services.

- Comment on TikTok sues the US government over ban 1 month ago:
Facebook is bad for other reasons. But psysops are not one of them.
You’ve obviously never heard of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. That meddled in our presidential election on behalf of a hostile foreign nation.
There are also plenty of other examples of Facebook running psyop campaigns themselves on their own users. Your claim is demonstrably false.
- Comment on TikTok sues the US government over ban 1 month ago:
Well, you do care enough to feel the need to let everyone know your opinion on the subject.
- Comment on TikTok sues the US government over ban 1 month ago:
While that is true, it is also a whataboutism. What does your comment have to do with the conversation? What did it contribute to the conversation?

The real question is why the fuck are people ok with Google indexing SO and not OpenAI? Doesn’t make any fucking sense.
Because Google is free and OpenAI isn’t. It’s one thing to take free content, index it, then allow anyone to access that index. It’s another thing when you take free content, index it, then hide that index behind a paywall.
