    Sorry, but this is only partially informed. 1. The U.S. produces a massive share of global manufactured goods, ranking second globally behind China in total value added. 2. Only lo…

    This is a vacuous argument. If everything is a “probabilistic input output machine” then what exactly are you claiming? You should look into mathematical definitions of probability…

    Usually these commenters are not from the US but get energized by US topics and misunderstand scale of things. E.g., they come from countries with a single nationalized entity for …

    Doesn’t China heavily restrict competition in its domestic markets? Probably only North Korea is worse. China is one of the most restrictive countries but expects full access to US…

    I think you are just agreeing with me and restating the inputs to my argument. I didn’t say LLMs are capable of zero reasoning. An approximation is just an approximation no matter …

    As someone from India and someone who knows people from Tibet, Chinese hegemony will be much much worse. There is no HN equivalent in China where users advocate that US hegemony wi…

    Not really. Go ask someone in Tibet/HongKong/Taiwan/Japan/India if China isn't breaking rules and bullying them. If China had US's powers/economy, it would be a much bigger bully. …
