This is a company that launched a token subscription (WaferPass), before weeks later, rugpulling the plan for being unsustainable while simultaneously claiming they achieved incred…

It's just a unique take on "not seeing the forest for the trees".

You clearly haven't met a Chinese RedNote user.

If a country hands out enormous subsidies but yet isn't leading in anything, then maybe it's time to consider what structural reasons are causing these subsidies to be squandered a…

Claude allows you to reverse engineer binaries now? That's pretty cool. I'm quite surprised to hear that, I thought it was one of their guardrails. Most of the reverse engineering …
