That Claude written page is impenetrable. You really need to write yourself or use a better model.

There is nothing true in this comment

* Importing coca-cola extract with coca extract is legal

* Coca Cola is significantly more popular than Pepsi in Australia

I don’t think it’s a question of moat. The usage limits on the chat interface with the more advanced Claud models are brutal. I feel like I can barely start a conversation before I get shutdown. However, I switched over to Gemini almost completely and barely ever checkin with ChatGPT these days.

Yeah the comments section is really disappointing here. Sadly, I can’t try it because it’s blocked in UK. I’ll try again over VPN later.

The previous nano banana was using composing tools. It was really obvious by some of the janky outputs it made. Not sure about this one, but presumably they built off it.

The policy last about 35 years and didn’t end till 2015. Even today there a limit on procreation as the cap was only increased to three children in 2021. At some point the CCP has to own its mistakes.

The problem isn’t that China instituted the policy (although its use of forced abortions to enforce was… problematic), it’s that its system of government prevented open discussion, reflection, and self-correction.

They go hand in hand. The authoritarianism of China allows it to undertake generational projects of immense scale with mass popular support through propaganda.

It works well when the government is pursuing welfare maximising initiatives, but limits self-correction when the government goes off track.

A small example of it going wrong, was when Mao convinced peasants to exterminate Sparrows and other ‘pests’ only to severely disrupt the ecosystem and cause a famine.

A quick inspection of the repo indicates that it doesn’t contain any copyrighted material. They’ve just uploaded the code to perform the decompilation.

Yeah, I read that transcript supplied in the Reddit thread and I was thinking to myself “why would you include this as evidence to support your case”?

The wife makes a big deal about how one of the agents testified that Spice was an operating system, then she went on to falsely claim that it was merely a “graphic driver”. However, later in the in the transcript another agent corrected the error of the first agent and explained to the court that Spice was a means of accessing remote VMs, which could be used to circumvent monitoring software.

This combined with the fact that there was no internet activity subsequent to the software being downloaded is pretty damning evidence.
