> If that's the case, then you should be able to provide tons of evidence. It's difficult to "hide" or "manipulate" data in a country the size of china that is tied to the global trading system.
not very tied, actually, precisely because of heavy government interventions
> "Democratic countries". Like russia? Or venezuela? Oh, let me guess, democratic countries you don't like are not "democratic countries". Right.
I think that we can agree that democratic countries are countries where there is a choice and you see changes of government caused by free elections. That's not the case for Russia or Venezuela but it is (still) the case for most of the Western world

> I've always had the feeling that AI researchers want to build their own human without having to change diapers being part of the process. Just skip to adulthood please, and learn to drive a car without having experience in bumping into things and hurting yourself.
I partially agree, but the idea about AI is that you need to bump into things and hurt yourself only once. Then you have a good driver you can replicate at will
China is decades behind the West in EUV technology. The attempt to create an independent supply chain is also a forced choice since all the EUV supply chain and knowledge pool are heavily protected by the West and are so complex and big that China cannot sidestep it even with a lot of resources.
Those numbers are realistic. EUV is the most complex machine ever built by humans
It's one of the things that are infuriating for technical folks but meh for everybody else.
In the days of programs taking forever to load or web pages downloading images slowly we knew what technical limitations were there.
Now we know how much sluggishness comes from cruft, downright hostility (tracking), sloppy developer work, etc.. we know this is a human problem and that angers us.
But for non-technical people it hasn't changed too much. Computing wasn't super pleasant 25 years ago and it's not now. Instead of waiting half a minute for Word to load they wait 4-5 seconds for Spotify to load. They were never interested in Notepad or Cmd or Paint. It doesn't bother them that now they open slower than in 1999.

Who said that? Only you
