@lemmy.worldI don't see what this has to do with the fact that China utilises slave labour from a religious minority group they are currently genociding to aid in their construction and manufacturing sector.
To my knowledge, you go to prison in the US when you commit a crime, as opposed to a labour camp where you are sterilised then made to build Fords under threat of death.
Yes it's very different. Tesla certainly overworks their employees by basically expecting them to do overtime, and engages in anti-union shadiness, but that pales in comparison to utilising slave labour from a religious minority group they subjugate and have even been known to sterilise, as well as harm family members of those who aren't behaving as the CCP wants them to.
Tesla still has to abide by US environmental regulations, which while not as strict as you'd find in Europe, are a hell of a lot stricter than China.
Tesla still has to follow construction and safety laws that, again while not super strict like in much of Europe, is a hell of a lot stricter than China.
The US also doesn't subsidise exported Teslas in a move to exterminate foreign car companies before ramping up prices.
The 2nd. And even then, you can just turn off version checking and extensions generally just work.
The secret is heavy subsidy, very little worker protections/safety, very little environmental protection, and slave labour.
Literally none of that goes against what I've said.
Hiring people to work on local AI features and accessibility features does not mean it's their only focus.
Completely silly take, and not the gotcha you think it is.
Nobody is talking about making vaping illegal entirely.
Alcohol already usually has restrictions on drinking it when walking down the street.
Sure there are some places (e.g. UK) where it isn't, but even there local authorities have the power to forbid it if they want to.
Currently smoking doesn't have this, and neither does vaping.
Not true at all lol
And locally-run translation that utilises AI, as well as AI accessibility features for blind users isn't nefarious. I mean, unless you dislike private translations and would rather send that data to Google, or hate blind people, but I'd hope you don't.
People need to actually look into features before they have a stupid and completely reactionary "it says AI therefore evil" response. People who react that way are morons.
And they're the only people who can easily do it.
Anybody else needs a new motherboard and RAM. And for those people, they're like "hmmm I can spend $700+ upgrading to Zen5, or I could spend $180 on a 5700X3D, not have to pull my entire PC apart, and get about the same real-world performance because I'll be GPU bottlenecked anyway."
