This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

China king of tech advancement

yeah right.

  • EVs that blow up easily.
  • DeepSeek AI being a wrapper for ChatGPT's API.
  • Skidded designs (aircraft, cars, etc)
  • infrastructure that barely holds itself together (tofu dreg)

The only thing they consistantly innovate is how to fuck over their own population.

I hate China, but they absolutely are ahead of of the curve on science and technology. They still produce cheap worthless shit but that doesn't change the fact that they also produce cutting edge shit which can be found nowhere else in the world.

Even their AI costs less to run than OpenAI. Luckily their investment in it will yield nothing of value.

In my opinion they only have solar and batteries going for them. Cutting edge silicon is nowhere to be found in China which I think it's a lot more important.

I would not take any Chinese numbers at face value. Especially when it comes to costs, training, running, etc.

Also (tangent warning), i feel like their AI project was a part of some propaganda by their part. Like, it's fed Chinese facts like "nothing happened in 1989" or "China had never been in an armed conflict" or "China has never had famines". Making it open source exports just their propaganda which I feel was the secondary goal in all this.
