I'd have thought there would be shame in having a label that says "Made in China" on garbage that doesn't live up to the claims. --- End quote --- Sure, but then again China wouldn't be what it is now if they had taken a different path. We flock to China for production due to the bottom-low prices, not for the high quality. And this is all this externalized production that has made China was it has become. They could never have provided the japanese level of quality at those prices. Come on. Maybe things are going to change now that they have acquired this gigantic power, although they'll never use the japanese model. But it wouldn't have worked before. It's just a very different model than what we are used to, and come to think of it, is there a shame in having become what is soon going to be the #1 world power? If we don't want crap from China, we can buy/have things made elsewhere. Everyone want their cake and eat it too, right? Now is the chinese way of handling economic growth compatible with our values? Probably not. Does that prevent us from doing business with them? I don't think so. We get all pick and moral until we have to shell out some cash. Then suddenly the crap starts to smell all flowery. :popcorn: |

Americans built upon it, and at some point down the line the Chinese cloned it all. Look at the most used and prominent inventions used every day - the majority were invented here in the UK. Before any Americans pipe up and claim said inventions, remember, we have been here many many hundreds of years before todays’ America came to be - we discovered you in 1492! --- End quote --- "You" discovered America! :-DD You have your countries mixed up! Besides ... how can you "discover" a continent where there are already human beings inhabiting it - it's already been discovered! :-DD --- End quote --- Well clearly not me personally Some basic history lessons will show you that Christopher Columbus - a Brit - discovered America. OBVIOUSLY the people who were natives didn’t “discover” it any more than I’d “discover” my own feet - I’ve always had them just as they’d always lived there - NATIVE - that’s the clue. --- End quote --- Indeed, clearly the native Americans just sprouted from the ground like mushrooms. And, of course, Christopher Columbus was as british as the royal family (to paraphase "blackadder"), and was in no way an Italian (or from what would later become part of Italy) working for the Spanish Crown. |

From my understanding of them, I don't think they are purposefully mining information. It is likely that their inferior AI systems are doing meaningless work (some patchwork of open source AI). Simply shield them, and there's no need to waste network bandwidth. |
