Even in University college classes; most homework is done by reading the assignments in the textbook, then turning to a page in the textbook with the assigned homework, and completing the exercises on paper. Zero internet access is involved.

My guess is that you went to college at least 20 years ago.

Um, you know China is a totalitarian state, yes?

No, China is an authoritarian state.

Maoist China was totalitarian. Modern China is not.

Chinese people have the same freedoms as you do, except for challenging authority.

the Chinese government can effectively do whatever the fuck it wants.

The Chinese nuclear industry has a solid safety record.

Their nuclear regulations seem to be working well.

But if you put the solar panels on your house instead of the car, it will be cheaper, and you can use the power for other things when the car doesn't need it.

I have an EV and panels on my roof. I never use the power from the panels to charge my EV. It makes more sense to feed the solar power into the grid during the day (when electricity is expensive) and charge my EV from the grid at night (when electricity is cheap).

The only advantage I can see for putting the panels on the vehicle is if you're stranded in the desert. How often does that happen?

We don't. GameStop faced bankruptcy in 2021 but has been cash-rich since then.

In 2021, short sellers piled on, but were subjected to a crowd-sourced squeeze, causing the share price to soar.

GameStop cashed in on the squeeze by issuing new shares, raising billions in cash.

If AI can download for free than everyone else had better be able to

The issue is stuff that everyone else can already download for free.

Can an AI learn from material on the web that is already viewable by the public?

Capitalism should apply the same to everyone

That's what the capitalists are saying.

It's the artists and authors claiming that "AI is different."
