So that's why it's called the matrix

Not your table, not your tiles.

Not your keys, not your coins.
Not your cup, not your coffee.

Nicely articulated!

That's temporary though. The US has created a forcing function. China will have cheaper and faster inference silicon produced domestically within 36 months.

Its a lot easier to keep everyone happy when there's plenty of physical space. China has always been very densely populated, so to them an "individualist" just means someone who's going to give you a headache.

Pair that with a strong Confucian culture where the head of the family is solely responsible for the outcome. If life is bad, it's the emperor's fault and its time to mobilize and kill him. So if enough people get pissed off with their neighbors expression of individualism, the emperor gets his head cut off.

It's how Chinese have operated for like 1000 years.

It's also always optimized for the middle of the curve and it sucks balls for everyone who doesn't fit (which gives the western world a selection bias of people who leave china because they don't fit).

Whenever they try to accommodate people on the edges they wind up with 100M dead in a civil war.

Everything is "blocked" in China if you're below 92IQ. If you're above that, nothing is blocked.

China does not have a social credit score. Whoever told you that is lying to you.

Chinese startups already are training and using AI however they see fit.
