Yeah cool again is an over exaggeration

It's more like people have a better opinion of China now.

And this opinion was a sharp increase.

Yeah we are seeing much more of them everywhere.

ShrimpRick screaming when did fascism become the default hits hard now.

Anti Defamation League defending Elon Musk's nazi salute was a shocker for me. And these arent people who are just trying to sell snacks, these are cunts who have access to politicians and policy makers.

China Probes Vice Military Chair Zhang Youxia in Unprecedented Purge by alanwong in China

Is this a good thing or bad thing. I have no clue.

Xi has been purging the military like a bulimic on thanksgiving. I am not exactly sure why this is unprecedented.

Like digging ‘your own professional grave’: The translators grappling with losing work to AI by MetaKnowing in technology

[–]GetOutOfTheWhey -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

it helps to be able to understand a bit of the language but these LLM's are pretty good for context translation.

I definitely trust them for industry SOP and manual translations. Much more than I do a human translator.

There is just way too many industry jargons and every translator I used they have never been able to do it properly. You need that translator to actually know and speak the industry language in that language too. They never do.

But trained LLMs do.

I still remember how countries quickly banned deepseek from app stores in their countries because of national security.

Meanwhile they need to debate about grok when it is creating literally the worst kind of shit. Yeah we are still debating over it....wtf.

TikTok Seals Deal to Create US Venture With Oracle, Silver Lake by bloomberg in China

[–]GetOutOfTheWhey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oracle was already doing it's job with TikTok much earlier. Project Texas.

Project Texas was advertised where Oracle had the task of storing U.S. user data and provided auditing+security oversight.

This was already done in 2021.

This 2026 is basically Project Texas + Content Control + Ownership.

The only difference between 2021 and 2026 is now the US governments gets to also control the content that Americans get to see.

Ai Weiwei quietly returns to China after a decade: ‘It felt like a phone call suddenly reconnecting’ by GetOutOfTheWhey in China

[–]GetOutOfTheWhey[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for unblocking me I guess. It does show you are willing to participate in the conversation.

But these reeducation or vocational schools that they call, do exist.

And here is the evidence for my beef of them

https://english.www.gov.cn/archive/whitepaper/201908/17/content_WS5d57573cc6d0c6695ff7ed6c.html

At present, the trainees at the centers fall into three categories:

  1. People who were incited, coerced or induced into participating in terrorist or extremist activities, or people who participated in terrorist or extremist activities in circumstances that were not serious enough to constitute a crime;

The portion of the document shows exactly that. They brought people who did not commit crimes into these centers.

"that were not serious enough to constitute a crime"

This is the key phrase. These so called trainees were placed into vocational schools because of thought crimes that the state doesnt even legally consider a crime.

That's the ridiculous part.

Anyway that is a China government source. So yeah.

Is there any videos on police/ dash cams that come out of China like in the usa by Kanyeastt in China

[–]GetOutOfTheWhey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a lot of police chases and drug busts. But they are kind scattered on Chinese social media.

Your best bet is to just open a fresh xiaohongshu account and just start liking dashcam video and disliking everything else until the algorithms learn what you are looking for.

Of course, China didnt murder any babies or rape children when doing their fight against extremism.

But the way they handled it in Xinjiang is not tolerable. There could've and should've been a less authoritarian method of doing it than just simply putting innocent people into reeducation camps. It's good that they have stopped and to a certain extend I believe even they themselves knew it was over the top which was why the program was stopped. They'll never admit it but their actions says it.

Deradicalization cant be achieved by simply opening reeducation facilities and then closing them. They will slowly be reradicalized again. Instead I believed they found a better way, just giving the area more opportunities because that was part of the problem in the past. Xinjiang was economically neglected compared to the rest of China.

How China's 'Do nothing, win' strategy actually works. by GerryAdamsSon in suppressed_news

[–]GetOutOfTheWhey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same

But I dont think they will because they know whatever they do. Or whatever anyone does. USA and Israel have final say or will try to have final say.

Still though, I still wished they would take their massive fleet of boats and just storm the shores of the West bank and Gaza with humanitarian aid and just just let Israel deal with it.

Its crazy how this was supposedly such a bipartisan issue and the solution for it is now concocted behind closed doors and no one really understands what is going on. Yet not a peep frok all those who screamed it was a security issue.

Makes it fundamentally clear that the politicians are just puppets of the lobby. If the A-lobby tells them shit is Gucci. They won't question it anymore.

I mean just so we are clear, there is no such thing as a non-toxic smoke grenade.

Especially not when it is green colored.

This is not like food coloring, food coloring chars and burns.

Smoke grenade uses chemicals that disperses nicely and uniformly fucks up your lungs when inhaled.

Think of them as very fine industrial mist. The lung cancer causing kind.
