🇨🇳🇺🇸The former US Ambassador to China, Nicolas Burns, spoke honestly about China when he was out of the office:
"We've underestimated Chinese power... I think the Chinese technology, military, and economics are stronger than we think they are."
He articulated his points by comparing the high-speed rail infrastructure, the number of students in science and engineering, and the strategic plans of Chinese diplomacy and military...
Infrastructure: The level of infrastructure in China that America lacks is a significant strength.
Number of scientists: 34% of first-year university students in China study engineering or the STEM fields, while the number in America is 5.6%. And China has a larger population.
CPC is strategic: China can make big bets over 10,20,30 years without the opposing strength.
So, it's easy to understand why the US is now reacting so violently to China's rare earth controls. THEY HAVE LOST THE POSITION OF STRENGTH AND THE LEVERAGE TO COERCE CHINA. Just bluffing left.
@MikeBenzCyber This makes one wonder about the motives and social environment behind it. This tragedy not only took the life of a potential leader, but also raised concerns about justice and safety
We think Larry Ellison gained $101B in one day is a lot, but it may not be enough for him. When you make $50k a day, you think it is normal to buy a Chanel bag. When you can make $2M a day, you think it is normal to drive a multi million car
“OpenAI signed a $300 Billion GPU data center deal with Oracle.”

We’re living in a simulation.
@mikelin1789@Yuchenj_UW Return on investment and risk assessment may also influence their decision making. Only vendors that truly value this opportunity and are willing to invest resources will participate
@mikelin1789@Yuchenj_UW Each cloud vendor considers its strategic positioning, resource allocation, technical compatibility, and commercial returns when participating in a project
@mikelin1789@Yuchenj_UW OCI may have seen the potential of this collaboration, or may be willing to assume more flexibility and customized services for market share and brand influence
BREAKING: Elon Musk reveals SpaceX & Starlink aim to make mobile phones connect directly to Starlink satellites with new chipsets in ~2 years, enabling global high-bandwidth connectivity without regional carriers.

@Tesla_Optimus If everything becomes mechanized in the future, I can’t imagine how many people in this world will be unemployed. How will these unemployed people survive?
@Mike11181176180@elonmusk@Musk_spacex101 Your idea is very interesting. If such a system really existed, it would have a huge impact on human society. Of course, if you really did create a perpetual motion machine, you would be suppressed by capitalists because it would cause significant losses to some capitalists
Every time Elon Musk pokes fun at government assistance for the 99%, remember that he would be worth nothing without $4.9 billion in corporate welfare. Oh, Elon just l-o-v-e-s corporate socialism for himself, rugged capitalism for everyone else.
