Would this realistically be a problem for code going through LLM-based code-review? Presumably if a LLM reviewer agent hits this commentary, it would produce a failure to analyze and exit, thus failing the automated code review and forcing a human to read through it which they would subsequentially catch and revoke.

If you are so knowledgeable, then what argument am I making?

It doesn't help your case when you state inflammatory remarks like "gender-affirming hood heights". This isn't reddit.

The data even points to the fact that, by total vehicles vs vehicles that cause pedestrian deaths, regular passenger cars cause 19.9 pedestrian deaths per 1MM registered vehicles while trucks, as and entire category, cause 19.2 pedestrians deaths per 1MM registered vehicles.

"nothing to regulate" is also an exaggeration. Many states to regulate aftermarket lifts. 6" lifts are typically the maximum legally allowed limit for trucks like the F150. You only see them higher because there is no enforcement of the rule.

A singular example. Thanks for the "gotcha", very redditor behavior.

This comment is very clearly an exaggeration even if there is a grain of truth to it. You should consider addressing the fact that there can be multiple "leaders" at any given time, and geopolitical boundaries can shape those leaders.

OpenAI won't be able to train competitive models without user data collection. The moat is data.

Chinese open weight models will be forced to do the same to remain competitive with other frontier labs. The moat is data going forward.

Sounds like modern slavery, import people from poorer countries to tend to the rich and elderly in countries that made short-term sacrifices to not build a future for themselves independently.

So the solution is to import uneducated and non-certified individuals from other countries at lower pay and hope you can pay them less and teach them? As if that is any easier? Sounds like the only reason is so health conglomerates can provide lower pay.

Swiss people are perfectly capable of becoming health workers? What kind of argument is this?

Solar doesn't work as well as you think in deserts because the decrease in light hitting the ground increases desertification. Desert plants require sun to thrive. Take that precious sunlight away, and the desert turns into an even worse dustbowl prior to the solar being there.

The Ford Maverick (2022+) requires removing the air intake to remove the car battery. This is fairly common across many new car models.

The "protectionism" you cite is due to crash regulation and emissions standards.

To directly answer the question, Rednote is not generally used outside China, and the point about these apps being representative of "global" social media apps is false.
