Many say this cannot work.

... checking notes ...

Ah yes. China used to have 100% technocrats in their leadership 30 years ago. No one with a law degree in sight. Nowadays it is less, but they still have quite a few.

It can work.

Faster than Shenzen, fine ... but quite a bit more expensive, even taking into account the USA tariffs, which we do not have in the rest of the world.

Seems to me that Shenzen still wins at least for the non-USA world.

Cool... Would it be possible to poison all that nice telemetry with perfectly good information, live from Hogwarts or from some other interesting place? The Village from the series "The Prisoner" might also be a good place to send telemetry from.

That is what seems to be happening here.

Be happy you are just blind for the rest of your life.

Such a shitty government you have today in the USA, it boggles the mind.

Just pay a big enough fine to be a deterrent for the future.

A 1G$ per hectare seems a good deterrent for Google.

Here is the 300G$ bill.

The big problem here is that if it is found illegal, the crime Google committed is irreversible. They cannot undo the damage done to the 300 hectares of forest.

What then?

Maybe a related question:

How do you keep the IEC 62443-4-1 auditors happy?

Maybe you can ask a similar question to the millions of people (literally!) who bought 2,000$ iPhone Duo devices in the last few days.

Spending a bit of money to save a bird's life seems inconsequential.

I guess Anthropic are not IEC-62443-4-1 compliant, because I doubt a human reads and understands every single line of those 30,000 merges a day.

What then?

Great power must come with great responsibility.

Follow the responsibility chain.

Jail the CEO.
