I think you could be more charitable, as GP said “culture,” not “society.”

Apple alleges not only individual malfeasance, but also recruitment tactics like “show-and-tell” aimed at recruiting those willing to bring company secrets (and discriminating against those who would not).

This is enough to constitute a low-trust culture that self-perpetuates.

Surely given the size of China there are plenty of honorable people. And surely in the US there are many dishonorable people, as you’ve pointed out.

You get trustworthy people by trusting people. Generally when I was there there was a presumption of trust. Given how blatantly the defendants are alleged to have acted, that’s still the case.

I just asked Deepseek “tips for organizing politically in China” and hit the guardrail.

I but skimmed the model card on release, but my impression was that there may be an incentive for this expert panel to exaggerate as a form of job security. A lot of the challenges seemed to be of the form “would this allow somebody who isn’t me to do what I do professionally?”

Interesting. It would be easy to detect hate speech client-side too I’d imagine. My phone already listens for certain words.

It was a narrow miss. There was a time the crown wanted everyone farming cotton, but entrepreneurs pitched arbitrage instead.

Unfortunately you’d have no power to correct it. Even if such a thing were possible. I hope that changes.

You’re saying that they should take the money people pay to buy Xboxes and put it in T-bills instead of delivering Xboxes? What happens when people ask where the Xbox they ordered is?

Yep, those regulated marketing terms could use an update.

Regulators don’t make cures. There’s room to improve on that side of the system.

Especially as emerging approaches seem to be trending more systems-thinking-oriented, eg “this will strengthen your immune system to fight lots of diseases.”

Look up the Curley Effect for an explainer of what might be going on. I’m not Swedish but feel it may be worth examining given their rhetoric.

APA guidelines come with expiration dates [1]. 10 years is the maximum.

Churn is built in to the specialty. Read into that what you will.

They have capital controls. Good luck moving yuan instead of Labubus.

It’s clearly AI-assisted.

I’m not. This is a serious comment.

Yes, that’s how I read your comment. There are narrow circumstances but no general principle. To generalize from narrow circumstances is simply misguided, so I commented.

That’s their mandate. It’s not pedantic.

I don’t follow your reasoning. It is foreign to me. You talk about winners, but this is clearly fraud.
