Feel free to share why not. At the end of the China is still part of a global system dominated by capitalism and they have to play the markets game in order to survive.

They could easily fully do things their own way but that would mean, for example, chance of private intellectual property, which would mean no WTO membership, which would mean massively reduced capacity for trade, which would put them at such a disadvantage they'd inevitably collapse.

Is there anywhere to read more about this?

I've heard it said that we'll all be watching a series of disasters play out on our phones until it comes time to see one play out through our windows.

I'd encourage you to look at any HN discussion about women's issues.

That makes sense but the unverified claim is that gas stoves are the main contributors to asthma.

There's little difference and I would suggest there's a pity in knowledge being hoarded by collectors.

If we were getting into the differences, though, it would be that is now happening en masse in order for a handful of corporations to monopolise knowledge, history and ideas from books that were until recently available somewhere to the public.

I also doubt that many collectors are buying rare books with the intention of destroying them.

Grok is directly tied to Twitter in a way that other models don't have, so the use of Grok to do this stuff is inherently more public and traumatising for the targets.

You're right that people hate Elon and that they have good reason to do so, but you might be falling for the trap of underestimating the legitimate and unique concerns about Grok because it's easy to assign them just to "Elon hate."

Also I already don't own a car at all and I haven't taken a plane in a little over a decade.

That is, an essential step?
