I try to build one once every ten years but if what you say is true and the components aren’t banned where I live I may upgrade much sooner. A year or two would be better than I expected.

Good thing I built my rig when I did, it may be the last I have for a long time.

Good thing I got an AMD card, works way better with Linux.

But then there are heavily disabled people who are highly vulnerable and whose ability to contribute to revolution or socialist development are limited.

I may be a loon but I strongly believe China’s actually trying to get to AGI, it was a spoken goal by Deepseek and I have reason to take it seriously.

From Peking we got this ternary CNT processor: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3301229/chinese-scientists-build-worlds-first-ai-chip-made-carbon-and-its-super-fast

And this analog chip: https://www.livescience.com/technology/computing/china-solves-century-old-problem-with-new-analog-chip-that-is-1-000-times-faster-than-high-end-nvidia-gpus

And Fudan’s got this non-volatile storage faster than RAM and with less latency: https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/china-worlds-fastest-flash-memory-device

And a way to store info with one electron instead of 200,000: https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/china-data-storage-single-electron

China is also the ones behind 6G. There’s probably a bunch of other stuff I’m forgetting.

Getting to AGI would actually be a threat to America the same way Deepseek was. For the same reasons BYD is banned in the US. But likely on a larger scale. And the way I see it, China’s population of working age people is declining so if they wish to continue to be as extremely productive as they are, the realization of an AI capable of automating a high amount of jobs is in their interest. It’s also in the interest of communism. Remember the LTV and imagine how much prices will collapse.

Sounds like some kind of Majora’s Mask doomsday timeline.

I mean, our birth rates are low enough right now we may not need his help.

May be the ultimate test for Beidou and other tech. Best case scenario the nukes are countered by tech we may not be publicly aware of.

The US won’t last that long.

Ah, I wondered who the hell he thought he was.

Oh wow. Wonder what will come of this?

I’m mentally disabled. I’m considered unfit to work even in the US. I doubt anyone wants me and I’ll probably die when the country collapses. I know that as China develops that it will relax immigration because it’ll become less of a problem as it approaches communism and produces enough to sustain itself even with immigrants. Maybe I’ll get lucky.

Then where should we go? Immigration to good countries is difficult for many of us.

He was their Jesus.

He died for their many, many, many sins.

As soon as I began reading the second paragraph, I knew it was you posting this. I appreciate your interesting takes.

Bad when MLs do it instead of collective action, yes. For those of us able to organize or do mutual aid, things like that. Not possible for everyone, especially in a place as fragmented as the US. I do not blame this fellow for what he did, I blame the US for driving him to this, and I blame the US for whatever happens afterwards.

I’m wondering how soon the very end is at this rate.

FUCK. I’m often deeply sympathetic to those who wish to kill their parents. So many cases of people punished for killing their abusers. But then there’s people like these.
