Frankly at this point I think I would rather have China have control over the data and algorithm than Oracle and Andreessen Horowitz.
Ars Technica’s comment section is getting radicalized.
IMO, the algorithm is overhyped, and the secret to tik toks success is its scale. If you gave metas algorithm the same amount of data to train on and the same amount of content to recommend, it would be equally as addictive. It might suck at first but give it a couple months and people won’t be able to tell the difference between the old algorithm and whatever oracle creates.
It’s just like chatgpt, given the same set of public data any company with sufficient engineering and compute resources can make there own model that performs very similarly.
In an ideal world we’d have algorithmic choice, like in bluesky sort of, and we could actually compare different ones, but that would cut into the profits of the data monoplies.
China or Russia do not move their red lines. US concerns about TikTok were always exclusively the lack of Zionazi supremacist control over the messaging. This is what is getting “fixed” by buyer group. China will also receive other unrelated trade concessions, though falling short of “normal”, they will do better than “allies” who have no red lines on bending over.
I very much prefer China keep the algorithm instead of this crooked government. We’ve already seen what happened with Twitter when our Nazi overlords start smearing their shit all over people’s feeds
Certainly americans must be desperate if they prefer to be controlled by China.
As a Chinese-American, no thanks fam.
Can we remove this traitor and actually restore the rule of law? This PoS administration is insane, reminds me of PRC again.
Can we remove this traitor and actually restore the rule of law?
How. DNC? Which does Israel prefer (DNC will go along with that preference)? If allies bend over for Trump, it’s not DNC that will free them. They don’t even object to that part, and only guillotines from NATO colonies will change DNC perspective. It’s much easier for US to win war against those welcoming invasion, and gaslighting their people restricting speech, than losing wars to blocks that are stronger than US.
Nice modlog, comrade.
Schizo comment
It’s not about either having better morals, it’s about being less incentivized to oppress a foreign population than your own and a purely pragmatic choice during a new age of fascist rule
The way Trump is running things, there won’t be much of a difference between America and China soon.
What in the .world fuck are you on about mate?
Going after people that criticize the leader, banning other parties, ending term limits, propping up businesses that he’s friends with while charging his enemies with “corruption”, and preaching a popular ideology without actually committing to any of its core values.
Basically they bought 70% of the shares but they aren’t even the good ones.
Trump got paid. That’s the important part!
Because they’re on the same side.
