Under another set of criteria (environmental concerns), it's probably a positive.

Many many folks are the type that is willing to hard grind/suffer short-term to get through a hoop, but as soon as they are inside they turn that 'optimizer' mindset towards 'how can I do the minimum necessary to coast and collect my paycheck'.

And many many folks who are highly motivated to work hard every day at their job are not highly motivated to prepare for jumping through a hoop like a circus clown.

It's that if you don't have a way to measure quality yourself (you're not an expert), or if you don't ask for exact specific features/qualities even if you offer a high budget and ask for high quality, manufacturers absolutely will cut corners, do stupid things, etc. to increase their own margin at the expense of quality and just hope you are none the wiser.

The US had the same culture in certain periods and certain industries, so I am not suggesting it's some innate Chinese characteristic. The meat factories exposed in Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, where he documented unsanitary conditions, spoiled meat, rat infestations etc come to mind.

But one cannot just ignore that the China of today has had problems with fake baby formula, fake alcohol, fake medicine, fake everything and expect that that doesn't make its way into manufacturing of other classes of goods.

Help me prioritize what matters most.

If someone asks me a question, research the answer as deeply as you can and draft a reply for me, but do not send it."

This is a very dangerous road to go down. You may feel like you are getting more done but end up living your life on autopilot, without any introspection or applying your own taste.

OpenAI has already been proven to be easily gamed through very unsophisticated poisoning (fake information in a web page + an edit to a wiki page pointing at it, fake information in a reddit post), so I'm not sure we shoudl hold up their efforts at data cleaning as a gold standard.

We send rockets to the moon and every person is getting phones. We would survive without pesticides.

"Carcinogenicity: Certain multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), specifically the straight, rigid MWCNT-7 (Mitsui-7) variety, are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans).

Mesothelioma: Long, rigid, needle-like CNTs can cause "frustrated phagocytosis," where macrophages are unable to engulf the fibers, leading to chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and mesothelioma-like growth in animal models.

Respiratory Damage: Inhalation exposure in rodents has consistently shown the development of pulmonary inflammation, granulomas (clumps of immune cells), and irreversible lung fibrosis (scarring).

Organ Toxicity: Beyond the lungs, studies have indicated potential toxic effects on other systems if CNTs enter the bloodstream or are ingested:

Liver: Can cause hepatocyte damage and oxidative stress.

Cardiovascular: Exposure has been linked to hypertension, heart rate changes, and increased plaque formation in animal models.

Neurological: Some types may cross the blood-brain barrier, potentially causing neuroinflammation."

Do not currently reliably work. Not to the point that anyone concerned with security or reliability/not-having-their-env-fucked-up should trust these safeguards as standalones.
