You really think you live in a liberal and democratic world? Ever heard of Snowden? Ever heard of war in Iraq? Ever heard of NATO hegemony? Ever heard of enforcement of western culture in non-western countries?

Oh man, I haven't seen so much liberalism and democracy since Hitler.

CCP dit a very fine job buying Volvo for a penny on the dollar ... And rebranding all the way. Tesla will sweat a bit ...

Let's hope tha next one has physical button; there's a need to continue to drive and just by feel, reach a button 😋

Or because the Chinese or anyone else in Asia, Africa, and the pre-Columbian Americas was kind and gentle to those they conquered?

Without the ideas of the liberal democracies, we'd be living in a much darker world. I personally like democracies and like Western ideas, and this is why I am worried by powerful AI in the hands of authoritarian governments.

I'd be surprised if it has better AI than Tesla, but anything is possible -- China is investing heavily in AI, after all, AI can help keep The Great Leader in power, at any cost. But the West would be crazy to allow in such intrusive technology controlled by an authoritarian state. Hopefully, we learned something from the Russian gas lesson.
