It's because the incompetent PM made the visa free for mainland Chinese. It's going to get a lot worse in Thailand.

The culture is the problem and the CCP insistent on keeping outdated traditions and social values keeps them in the past. China cultural values went to shit ever since the cultural revolution and the government has done nothing to better it, only doubling down and adding more problematic beliefs. There were needs to be selfish and to deceive for survival, but with the kind of government the CCP is instead of that slowly going away after the worst is over you have that continue to be ingrain into future generations to the point it becomes an identity. Then add the contemporary dose of propaganda and the sudden increase in progress and you have the superiority complex.

You are the one who miss the point.

Razor leaf is like having hundreds of knives thrown at you simultaneously. Hydro pump you basically die almost instantly. There’s a reason water jet can be used to cut metals.

Wouldn't not tying it to Switch online be better for preserving it and increasing its longevity? And the game isn't that short. Rather than renewing the online subscription when I don't have time to make good use of it I prefer this.

I've also seen some mention of it being caused by the new API changes messing with the tracking so not allposts and comments are counted. Anyone has better insight on this?

Dude thinks he's a genius (he's not). This is the problem when you only look at the outcome of something without factoring what caused it (lots of luck including birth lottery and the effort and talent of people around him in this case).

The irony of him being Putin's discarded bitch is the cherry on top.

Oh noooo other restaurants managed even without universally well known name to back them up. How could Mcdonald ever survive? The Mcdonalds in Europe have to be in shamble, surely.

It's only a problem at the moment because countries are trying to sustain an unsustainable economic model that requires endless growth. It will collapse eventually. Might as well not increase environmental problems as a trade off to make it last a bit longer.

Plagiarism in a different form.

Photoshop is a general purpose image editting tool that is mostly harmless. That's not the same for AI. The people who created them and allow other people to use them do so anyway without enough consideration to the risks they know is much much higher than something like Photoshop.

What you say applies to photoshop because the devs know what it can do and the possible damage it can cause from misuse is within reasons. The AI you are talking about are controlled by the companies that create them and use them to provide services. It follows it is their responsibility to make sure their products are not harmful to the extend they are, especially when the consequences are not fully known.

Your reasoning is the equivalent of saying it's the kids fault for getting addicted to predatory mobile games and wasting excessive money on them. Except that it's not entirely their fault and programs aren't just a neutral tool but a tool that is customised to the wills of the owners (the companies that own them). So there is such a thing as an evil tool.

It's all those companies, and the people involved, as well as law makers responsiblity to make the new technology safe with minimal negative impacts to society rather than chase after their own profits while ignoring the moral choices.

The economy will be great again because some dumb country will sure to wage war for resources eventually in a selfish attempt to make things better for themselves short term while making everyone including themselves die even faster. And we all know how much America loves taking advantage of war to sell weapons!
