@Edmundus1581@JamesLNuzzo Get a life! I've seen really exceptional women, time and time again, get passed over for promotion by lesser men (often idiots) for years in academia. "Real men"? Really!
What I want you to think about today is how China have played this game to perfection. They donโt even consider themselves in a race and they donโt need to.
Theyโre just one step behind and thatโs fine by them because this is not about having the best frontier models, itโs about having the U.S. constantly living in perpetual fear of what they are doing.
They are just a footstep behind for a fraction of the cost. Their models are cheaper and open source, at a time when the world no longer sees the U.S. as a reliable partner.
U.S. allies are now beginning to remove their reliance on U.S. tech and China is quietly waiting in the wings acting like the adult in the room, as the U.S. extorts trading partners and attempts to use military force to get its way in the world. Itโs Neanderthal diplomacy in their caveman world moulded by out of touch old white men.
China has to do nothing. Just let the US self-immolate as they sit with their 25 year plan. Energy insecurity does not exist in China, they can add capacity 6 to 7 times faster than the US, and can achieve this with cheap green energy.
If you add to that, they are estimated to be years ahead of the US on nuclear energy even before we discuss their already gold standard infrastructure.
Just to add the cherry on the cake, US greed has paid for most of it, derived from when the US went in search of cheap Chinese labour under Reagan and then Clinton.
While the US was filling the pockets of the asset class, the Chinese used Western income to lift 800 million Chinese out of poverty, invest in gold standard infrastructure and education that has now provided them with a pool of labour that are the best educated in the world.
Tell me, exactly who is winning again?

@OJoelsen 17.4ยฐC! I'm putting on my winter pants and jumpers here in SE QLD Australia at that temperature! Currently 19ยฐC at 2:30pm and I feel cold! It is our winter time after all. ๐
@yesjimstheman I loved seeing them in Scotland. Problem is some idiot brought some to Australia and now I have them trying to take over my cattle paddocks. ๐
@Sprockey14@Peter_Fitz Reminds me of when petrol cars were first introduced. The same arguement was used for the reason why it was much more sensible to just keep on using horses. Yet here we are.
@Batman2242 Rubbish! I live rural QLD and have an EV. I mostly charge at home off solar/battery and I have the range to get to all the places that I frequently visit and back home. I occasionally visit further away rural towns, but I have had no trouble charging in the towns.
@MikeCarlton01 You can just imagine what would happen to them if they accepted asylum in the USA. The week after they arrive they would probably be picked up by ICE and deported.
@Matt_Pinner I've done every single one! Guess it depends on your age and country/s you have lived in. I'll add one, used a rotary (dial) phone on a shared line with your neighbour. @StephenKing
@DougCameron51 For 50 years I have voted Labor. No longer. I'm done with Labor! One Nation and the LNP are also just as bad. Sad day. Albo, Wong and Minns should all resign.
@7NewsBrisbane@annamcgraw_7 "Not required to build affordable housing". Just a joke! Government in league with the QLD Property Council. The developers will make a killing and in no way will it solve the housing crisis. FFS! Government should be building low income affordable housing.
@histories_arch I was born and grew up in Kenya not far from the suburb, Karen, which is named after her. The suburb was established on the land that was her farm. An enduring memorial.
@MikeCarlton01 I think you are missing the point. I think they are trying to encourage insurrection so they can then invoke the insurrection act with the aim of cancelling the mid term elections. If they do that it is "end game", no more elections.
@Liberal_London_@louderry Call me a cynic, but just maybe the water companies really did not want to build the reservoirs, but wanted to avoid blame for not building them. Failure to produce viable long term plans would be one way of doing it.
@JonesHowDareYou@SenatorWong I think we need to limit how long someone can be a politician. It appears to me that we initially elect them when they have reasonable and "in-tune" views with the general Aussie population but, as the years go by, they completely lose touch.
