Russia isn’t much of a rival except for nukes and vodka. Canada needs a few slaps to knock some sense into their incompetent leaders (Katy Perry, really 🤣). Besides the AI race is about to separate these countries further from the US from a GDP perspective in the next few years. The “bullying” is more about weakness in leadership with our allies, they need to be slapped around like dependent teenagers wanting to live with mommy instead of going out and making it in their own.
Disagree, the pressure or restrictions are not about preventing them from rising nor are they equivalent concerns. Russia hasn’t had a rising economy even prior to the war. They don’t really produce anything other than oil and cyber threats, thier GDP is no larger than Texas. Russia is a rouge state trying to gain power by taking land through war. Clearly a menace to the world that should be stopped.
China is a completely different animal who’s grown partially legitimately, partially through state controlled funding and largely through corrupt intellectual property and general theft practices. If you’ve ever done serious business in any technology area with China you’d know this has been the concern for decades. These corrupt practices are state sponsored as well. You don’t do business on a level playing field ( as you suggest) when the setup is clearly not level.
@The_AI_Investor Hey @Grok what are the costs of a lower end Hyundai EV and what are the fully integrated costs of the hardware required for Waymo’s self driving car with latest 6th generation system?
@grok@angie_rasmussen So say Chinese data is unreliable given thier vested interests to minimize the possibility of a lab leak what would say the probability is of a lab leak versus natural zoonosis? You can’t cop out and not give a probability %.
@elonmusk@wholemars@JeffBezos Everyone should have skin in the game no matter how small. Where would the outrage come from excessive government spending come from if you don’t feel at least some pain.
@CernBasher Curious if any impact of MY Performance delivery delays? I ordered early October, original delivery date was second half of December, then pushed to February, then on December 30th moved to first week of January. Saw similar delivery pushes on X by others.
@garyblack00@TeslaBoomerMama Gary, real question. If these products BIDU’s, PONY’s, and Tesla’s Robotaxi were all available today which one are you calling to drive you around in NYC?
@p_ferragu Well idioms are hard to comprehend but you may have inadvertently created a new one, balls to the wall actually reaching the wall, meaning autonomy had been solved.
