CDBC doesn't necessarily imply blockchain. It can be just another payments system.

Chatbots are good at helping humans arrive at the specification. Apart from people that has deep expertise and/or talent in this area, humans aren't very good at building these specifications. That's the topic of this exchange.

I guess the flip side to that is the iterative conversation to develop these specifications is exactly what AI chatbots are good at.

It's also the main reason why very structured AI agent orchestration for software engineering modelled on rigid processes fails to really provide much value.

Nope, just break up the one that has been consistently found to be abusing their market position. Microsoft has been embroiled in this since the 90s.

Exactly. You might not like what Google does, but you can't deny it's a massive commercial success. Just because their approach to creating and delivering apps might not be to your liking, you might actually be the niche.

Yes, zero Forex fees cards work. But the terminal detects that your home currency is different to the local currency and you still have to choose the right option.

For example, just the other day I fat fingered the screen and chose the wrong currency.

That's the nature of decentralised control. It's not just DNS, phone numbers work in the same way.

Combination of factors, but mostly the success Douyin had in Mainland China leading to the investment in TikTok internationally, given that no other Chinese social app had reach this level of penetration.

Vine had more active users than Musically, and look what happened to Vine. It would have never had the investment internationally if not for the blow-out success it had inside Mainland China.

TikTok is a fluke, created by the condition of how it was originally born as Douyin in China. It is also the only app that translated well from the domestic China market to international markets.

Being backed by lots of VC cash and Bytedance's revenues in China is a key factor in getting TikTok established overseas.

It's like people watch and read all these Cyberpunk stories and say that nah, it's all fake, can't happen here, tech can solve everything.
