The meat of the article is behind the paywall.

My theory is that

  1. China has better integration between academia and industry - I'm mostly basing this off how in the US the academia is chronically underinvested so that the private sector can get it's plunder of smart graduates, but when it comes to AI development you actually need academic knowledge of intelligence otherwise you're just approaching it like an engineering problem

  2. US companies are incentivized to spend more, the more broke they are the smarter they seem, so there isn't really any incentive to improve in smart ways because you can just rack up a bigger bill with your investors and keep the circular economy going.

Would love to know what the recipe says though.

They're just nationalists for countries they don't live in, they don't have any libretory praxis or ideas beyond "Murica Bad", which even though I agree that America is in fact bad, is not doing a god damn thing to address anything!

They consider themselves leftists but I don't think they've earned it, they're just liberals who's thing to care about as anti-imperialism.

All they do is appeals to power (protests, statements) never any building of power (organizing, mutual aid) or exercising power (disruptive direct action)

You can prevent root login entirely using sudo and no root password.

Of course you could then override your init to give you a root shell, which you could avoid by having a grub and bios password.

But you'd be able to reset the bios password if you have physical access anyway.
