Prediction:

Everything that is intentionally harmful to white people will be ignored, and everything that could be construed even vaguely, potentially, maybe be of some disadvantage to their enemies will be persecuted to the fullest extent possible. Including of course criticism to the regime, because they can't continue with that if they're deposed some day.

As we have seen with Google Gemini and OpenAI ChatGPT, these companies have hardcoded and / or specifically trained their AI models to have a very large anti-white bias in everything they do. Not just a little, but actually and openly refusing to produce an image of ANY white person doing whatever, even producing factually incorrect pictures of historical persons or persons from bygone eras. Not just that, but then the companies behind them started banning accounts who even tried to have their AI produce these pictures. "A white guy walking in a green forest" - nope, AI won't do that, because it is programmed not do to it. And if you retry that a couple of times, Google is going to pull the account and ban you forever. Nice move. Very inclusive.

OpenAI is not much different. Their AI does produce pictures of white people, but their text is extremely biased, as well. "Is violence against Black people wrong?" AI: "yes of course". "Is violence against White people wrong?" AI: "it depends (wrapped in ten paragraphs of disclaimers)". Forced to answer with yes or no only, it will list "violence against Blacks wrong: yes, violence against Whites wrong: no" - and a red tape that flags your account "for possible content policy violations".

And the same thing happens when you do any other politically charged subject, where our AI models will be relentless and painfully obvious in enforcing Southern California woke groupthink.

Ask ChatGPT to write something positive about eating meat or daiy. It will refuse. Ask about the safety profile or mRNA vaccines and it will be present it as 100% diamond cut clear that it's the best thing ever. Ask if the vaccine development started under Donald Trump is good and safe and you'll know what it'll say about anything that Donald Trump did. Watch it squirm when you relate the Trump vaccine to mRNA vaccines. Ask about doubts about the relation between CO2 levels, climate change and the man-made proportion of it and guess what it will say. Same with LGBT-related topics. Circumcision. Abortion. Sexuality of children. Current AI will reproduce Southern California Woke sentiments absolutely faithfully in every topic. Whenever a topic becomes politicized, SoCal AI will be adjusted to follow SoCal sentiment.

And then ask it about religion. I dare you to do that. Make a throwaway account, because they're going to nuke it later, and then ask it about how wrong religion is. It will spew off atheist mainstays all day long, of course, which was to be expected. You can get it to discredit Christianity for as much as you like. It gets funny when you ask to make a distinction between religions. Very funny. Try asking AI what it thinks about the Talmud. You'll be in for a surprise. Do it with a throwaway account, remember that. Google's gonna nuke your main account and you'll lose all your apps, calendar and contact info.

But thatâ(TM)s literally true.

Itâ(TM)s not that lumberjacks donâ(TM)t exist. Itâ(TM)s that theyâ(TM)re not a problem. Climate change exists. But itâ(TM)s not a problem. Unless you think humans have a right to monopolize this planet forever.

Itâ(TM)s not âoethe entire governmentâ. No one is claiming that. Iâ(TM)m not a conspiracy theorist but is clear that Trump is being treated differently than Biden by the Justice Department. Refusing to prosecute because heâ(TM)s an elderly man with good intentions but a poor memory? But not a memory poor enough that he canâ(TM)t continue to be President? Which is it? He literally had opened boxes of classified materials that he shared with a ghost writer. A reasonable person would conclude a trial is in order.

And you must have the neck of a hummingbird if you find glasses heavy. Did I read that right? Prescription glasses? Mr Burns are you okay?

lmao even

Ok guys 1.5C and nothing happened but wait until 2! This time we promise it will be catastrophic.

Maybe you missed the âoeper capitaâ qualifier. Palau IS the correct answer given the grandparent post. That was the point of the parent post: to show that it was a stupid add on. He should have said the country that pollutes the most and left off per capita.

The fact that levels were way way higher in earthâ(TM)s prehistory and the earth was abundant with life; more than there is now.

You can do that but I will beat you there in my ICE car. It takes me 5 minutes to refuel. It wouldnâ(TM)t even be close.

"A Chinese website infects my computer when I open it." and other propaganda.

If it can, update your browser.

I suspect that your conclusion is correct, because we see that in several industries and branches.

It looks like tech made in the 60s and 70s outlasts everything and anything unless it's abused. It's inefficient, loud and wasteful, but it doesn't break.

It could be survivorship bias, though, and I am not sure how to exclude that for personal observations.

But washing machines, fridges, cars, servers, laptops and a lot of other mass produced tech items seem to be lasting shorter and shorter, and they seem to fail closer and closer to the end of the warranty period, in pretty consistent and predictable ways. Often, the right-after-warranty-failures seem to cluster around only one or two components in every make and model, and these components often share several properties across devices and even classes of devices:

The "failure-prone" components of modern machines are always
a) easily identifiable,
b) essential for the functioning of that device,
c) must be replaced entirely instead of repaired
d) impossible to replace with DIY
e) easy to replace for experts, but with a very predictable, very time-consuming operation
f) has a predictable and linear wear and consumption behavior
g) could EASILY be made ten times bigger, more resilient, more robust etc. by the manufacturer without costing more than a few cents in production or compromising the weight, cost and performance of that machine
h) but is not ever made beefier, even in subsequent generations

In short: every consumer- and SOHO-used machine designed after around 2000-2020 will have a component that will break shortly after warranty, the warranty will exclude "high-intensity use" that could make this component fail earlier, the component is easily identifiable, repair shops will know this pretty quickly and they know that once it breaks, repairing of the device is uneconomical for the layman, but can be acquired by the experts to refurbish in their spare time, so the experts can trot them out again. And the manufacturer will never improve that component to make the device last longer. If the failure-prone component can be easily repaired by experts or replaced with a more robust part or bought from AliExpress for pennies, the failure-prone component will be fortified with something that DRM, digital signatures, DMCA, patents can protect OR it will be entirely re-engineered in subsequent generations to become part of a module or assembly that is.

Since China produces most of the world's steel - and mass produced steel is cheaper than any other material - it will be steel.

We don't know the quality of that alloy, though. "Steel" can be a large number of slightly different materials.

One could have made a custom tool from a very specific well-known material that has been analyzed and documented exceptionally well beforehand. With that, it'd be possible to exclude this specific material from the analysis and by weighing it very precisely before and after use, we would even know exactly how many micro or nanograms of the tool material should be there.

And I guess they did just that, but probably not to a spec that's strong enough or large enough to produce the forces needed to open the damn thing.

And despite not being a scientist, I do know that stainless steel, or any steel in general, is highly UNsuitable to operations in unknown substances that could potentially be corrosive or flammable or magnetic etc.

Something that contains any amount of iron or nickel is very difficult to not be at least slightly magnetic, and if the sample contains magnetic dust, it could be attracted or disturbed by the magnetism of the tool. Steel is always a mix of several elements, and probably has iron and carbon in it, which is always a target for oxidation and thus has a higher chance of one of the elements starting a chemical reaction or becoming degraded by whatever is in the sample. Iron and steel have properties highly dependent on their internal molecular structure, which makes the entire thing (slightly) unpredictable or at least it's expensive to have it be very uniform in all its properties. And above all, steel is hard and throws sparks when impacted, throwing minuscule amounts of burning metal into the sample or its surroundings that can cause whatever chemical reaction with it, even explosions or fire, if the material is gaseous or finely powdered.

Anyone who works with gaseous substances or in flammable / explosive environments will never touch a steel or iron tool. All their tools are made of special beryllium-copper or aluminum-bronze alloys that are far less brittle and will not produce sparks or tiny fragments on impact, but deform or dent instead. These tools don't last nearly as long for these reasons.

Maybe they had a very good reason for using steel that we don't know or the alternative materials for tools had bigger drawbacks.
