poorer people generally tend to be less attractive than rich people due to lack of access to cosmetic care.

Sorry, but why is every single rich old person I see on TV literally looks like goul. .

Unlike fern and tldrnews, I don’t think they declared no AI, but I feel most of there animation seems to involve a lot of human labors, at least on top of AI.

They have also never declared the use of AI either, so I guess I don’t know for sure.

I should specify I am referring to mainland China. Hong Kong has a different health care systems, and the health care is usually considered reasonably affordable for residents (could be because people in Hong Kong are more wealthy than most of mainland China)

I mostly eat vegan food, and find beyond meat reasonably keeps my meat craving at bay. But I agree it is not the same as meat.

No they don’t. They have state provided health care, supplemented with private options.

But they are not universal in the sense that (1) not the entire population is covered (2) health care is not close to free for most people.

There is literally a hit movie couple years ago about the difficulty to obtain affordable prescription drugs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dying_to_Survive

I feel if everything they said is true, then this is a reasonable solution. But from my many Youtube scammer video experience, like people have already mentioned, most scammers use standard remote access software, not some bespoke APK.

I feel this reply is somewhat misguided and reiterate with most of the AI propaganda talking point.

“It is not AI, it is capitalism": It is really AI in capitalism, which is the reality we life in right now. If you take anything and put it in an utopia with a bunch of constraint, then of course it will be great. But that simply is not the world we are living in.

People hate cars, because it is a inefficient, polluting, and unsafe way to travel. But what if cars are all running on renewable energy, is super small, and never collide with pedestrian or cyclist.

Some people hate meat eating because it is inefficient and forces animal to live in inhuman conditions. But what if we can make animal photosynthesis and make them live happy, free, and full lives. Then no one will be against meat eating, but again, that is not our world right now.

Just because there is an alternative utopia where AI is perfect that doesn’t mean it is right now, and its flaws causes the hatred on the internet.

Now, most AI center are polluting, consume large amount of energy, and those AI that people mostly uses are built with stolen knowledge. Finally, society should optimize for the well-being of the people, and artist are people, AI are not. All the AI people use nowadays funnels the money to the richest few, while majority of the population, even AI experts, don’t have the means to train useful AI model as of now.

I have options to go to another country, but I choose to stay in the U.S. It certainly is not an easy decision to make, admittedly, my wife is in the U.S. makes U.S. much more attractive.

Yet, here are some aspect I have considered: - EU have repeatedly trying to push chat control, and U.K. already have strict age verification law for porn (and possibly VPN). U.S. is heading there, but at least my state has not have any of these ridiculous moves. - US is a top funder of scientific research. Now even China is taking over EU and UK, but I am certainly not going to China any time soon. There is way too much politics in Chinese academia, as far as I know. - I think education is a human right, and U.S. education is way more expensive than it should be. I don’t want to defend it. But I believe U.S. has better educations thanks to the libral art system, where student have much more chance to interact and learn from professors compare to many top UK schools. - In general, even account for the out of pocket maximum for healthcare, many U.S. job still pays more than their U.K. counterpart. This means saving money in the U.S. and later move to a lower income country is easier than saving money in a lower income country and later move to the U.S. That is working in the U.S. now gives me more liberty to move later in my career, if U.S. eventually collapse.
