China Banishing Microsoft
THE Microsoft-sponsored media (or compromised national broadcasters) still tells us that "all the rage" is something you can transmit words to and then spews out words back at you. While coherent and grammatically correct most of the time, falsehoods are expected and there's no real conversation, it's just some bot spewing out semi-plagiarised sentences it saw somewhere else.
This is nonsense. This is hype. Even the media finally acknowledges this. Investment in this nonsense has nosedived. But nice "pump and dump" you got there for a while (like NFT and other "Web3" nonsense).
How much longer will we see chatbots described as "HEY HI" )AI)? It's a lie; that's not what they actually are* and they're barely even innovative, it is just a brute force thing, costing a lot of money, fossil fuels, and water to to the detriment of society and the planet.
Now it's China's turn:
Even if China made some chatbot in its language (with censorship, just like Microsoft's), who cares? This false narrative of "HEY arms race" was all along part of the marketing; Microsoft is trying to buy some more military "contracts" (bailout money).
China mostly got rid of Google because Google refused to censor for the Communist Party (Microsoft's criminal leadership of course went along with the regime, as ethics never mattered to Microsoft).
How's it going over there for Microsoft? Let's take a look at the latest:
Oh, that's no good for Microsoft. █
