Yup :(...

I expect it is a session aware load balancer. There are plenty of those. Maybe it has HA cluster features (voting to decide master).. But from the little I read, I didn't see it.

There was mention of an Electron app. From my experience with Microsoft Teams, that's not a good thing.

What China wants doesn't matter. What matters is that the US is a dying empire and it sees China as its major threat. History shows that the US Empire is likely to pick a war with China before it collapses.

Those countries can't compete with Chinese cars either.

Ford America has a long history of taking good cars that were developed by Ford Europe and making them crap for the US market.

Because empires typically go out with a war against the rising powers. The empire collapses when they lose that war.

Also because the Western 'elite' planned to ship all the West's wealth to China and then move in and take over. But Xi laughed in their face and told them to get lost.

They really want to get that stolen wealth back.

Why enrich a genocidal enemy society we and our remaining allies spend trillions to contain? That's slow, inexorable economic suicide.

Communist China abandoned communism but not oppression and ultranationalism. Uighers being Muslim even those who hate US strategic mistakes in the Middle Eastdon't complain about Chinese genocide when the target minority lacks appeal.

Amusing that those yowling about other US strategic mistakes are silent when an enemy society sells us shiny objects so the Epstein class can finish destroying the US economy. There is no rational obligation to social suicide over mere economic ideals. Ideals have no place in business because business is war.

One thing I must admire about Bejing, if you sufficiently undermine their society they unapologetically kill you, a practice the US should adopt with its own social saboteurs instead of worshipping kleptocracy.

1. The US gets into a war with China.
2. China sends a kill signal to all Chinese vehicles in the US.
3. The US government says they'll rapidly build millions of new vehicles in the US to replace them.
4. Ooops, we don't have the factories and anyway we forgot how.

Even if the Chinese didn't kill the cars, parts would rapidly become unobtainable.

Because union benefits.

The unions vote and they don't want to have to compete against Chinese companies with non-union workers.

I guess they could tell the Chinese they have to hire union workers in America, but then they'd just forget about the US market because it's too expensive and too much hassle.

AI can not "go rogue". It has no intrinsic motivation and only responds to input. That rock on the ground has the same chance at self-motivation that AI has.

A person might claim that AI can do so much more than a rock can; however, I would argue that the rock, with the correct velocity and angle, could have much more effect than an AI can.

An LLM could be a useful part of an AGI; however, it will itself never be AGI. Higher level concepts are needed.
