The whole business model of tech startups is to lose money until you cornered the market and make unfathomable amounts of money. By the time you realize „well shit, it really was the biggest heist in history“ it‘s already too late. They are too powerful to be punished for it. So this definition of yours plays right into their cards. The only saving grace here is that AI will never be profitable. But people said the same thing about Youtube and now it looks like Google might swallow Disney soon.

Well it stinks like Chinese propaganda. That much was blatantly obvious to me. It‘s just not always obvious what part they‘re lying about. So it was the part about it being Chinese in the first place. Not very creative I must say.

Few years? Nah man. Maybe the first few months but they were already laying the foundation 10 years ago by hosting the largest emote servers and running the Discord subreddit secretly themselves. They were always really shitty.

I mean the guy didn’t really make it. AI did. Or should I say the collective effort of many people’s work that the model was trained on did? I find there‘s something ironic about the content of the videos considering LLMs are the ultimate „fuck your consent“ tools. But I will say it‘s very effective.

It also takes a collective childhood memory and does something very edgy with it. That tickles our brains in a very funny way.

The company has fallen? From where? Discord was bottom of the barrel for as long as I can remember.

Classic fluff piece to make China look more innovative than they actually are. I wouldn‘t be surprised if we never heard of this tech or if they recycle the same article next year. Tech ‚journalism‘ about China is a mine field of false claims and exaggerations.

Who needs Iran as their enemy when you have Israel as your „ally“.

Oh, I‘m less of a big guy and more of a big fan of your work.

Shitposters:

And they are 100% right about their assumption. China isn‘t letting anyone in anymore. They use their entire state capitalist machine to reject foreign companies completely. Global companies should forget about China and decouple.

What? Do you think

AI company claims…

Isn‘t convincing? What gave it away? /s

The title reads like this is terrible journalism.

Since a lot of content creators got a copyright strike from this bad actor I am sure someone will fight this and win easily. Generally speaking it‘s a bad idea to steal someone‘s ad revenue if you‘re from a lawful country like Italy. They win some publicity but lose money from this.

It should be noted that this is illegal. „Abusing Youtube‘s copyright system“ really is just a euphemism for actual theft.

In other words: Snake oil salesman back paddles after the ice he‘s standing on got very thin.

What do you mean? The system already exists in Germany and whatever website or app asking if you‘re an adult will only get exactly that information. Not your face, not your name, not even your age. They will simply receive a verified Y/N from a government service. Needless to say no US company implemented it because they would miss out on a lot of sweet sweet data.

Figures. Patents are the backbone of capitalism. Some say it invented capitalism as we know it.

People know the U.S. better than almost any other country. The U.S. is very loud while China is rather quiet. And that‘s not from a lack of trying from China‘s side. It makes sense people feel stronger about someone so loud. Someone who had influenced the world so much with pop culture and politics.

Personally I still prefer the U.S. over China but that‘s a very low bar. As a European I want to be more independent from both.

Same package, different price tag.
