老娘是你姑奶奶！

I lost a friend of over 25 years over where I decided to work (not DOGE but a FANG).

Yet she pays monthly subscription fees to even worse companies and like flop actors.

Should've known she's always had flopped tastes.

Selling shovels in a gold rush is how I feel about Nvidia.

Xiaomi's legal department announced that a popular Chinese car influencer fabricated crash footage results using their Su7 car in a video, and is now in the hands of police.

I'm glad this will discourage people from faking footage going forward for views.

In high school, I did my graduation project on the proliferation of white supremacist groups in online spaces and I remember my advisor telling me those will always be niche spaces and antiquated thinking, because "America is better than that."

I want to write to him now and ask him his thoughts.

I think it's probably up to us to rally people to move here.

In other news, if you are unhappy with the state of the country, please consider joining local organizations to enact change locally. Local elections are important.

I don't know how much longer I can stay on Twitter. It's the platform that fandom is active on but I don't want to post or browse on there anymore.

I know I'm not supposed to be "neutral" but being neutral at the moment is standing by the status quo, the banality of evil.

I think the demographic is a reason why Americans on the app think Chinese people are living better (and in many aspects they are.) But keep in mind that China only got most of the population out of the global poverty line 4yrs ago. They're not necessarily seeing that cause they're not on Kuaishou.

People's Daily (one of China's official news outlet) published an op-ed on the trend of #tiktokrefugees on #RedNote.

"Instead of calling them TikTok Refugees, maybe it's better to call them world villagers, they are not refugees, they've only found a new home."

OpenAI's AI reasoning model 'thinks' in Chinese sometimes and no one really knows why | TechCrunch OpenAI's o1 'reasoning' model sometimes switches to Chinese and other languages as it reasons through problems, and AI experts don't know exactly why.

Let's be honest, the model spits out Chinese because it scraped Chinese academic papers.

Yes, their products and vision for their products are a direct reflection of their values (money.)

The demographic of users in China typically have a high standard of living, love sharing their lives and tends to have more power for discretionary spending.

It's in Chinese.

The data is published by a market research firm.

At a glance, while there is a 3:7 ratio of men to women users, daily active users are actually 80% female. 18-34 is the age range of their most active users. 70% of the users came from first line urban cities (ex. Shanghai.)

People have been commenting about how RedNote is such a nice platform and people are so friendly. I think deepdiving on their demographics illustrate why.
XHS has an active user of 300million. 30% are men and 70% are women. Half of the platform is Gen Z from cities.

No. Having met him and others on the list in person, they're all socially awkward, mumbling idiots who likes to use silence to fool people into filling in bubbles for them.

Seriously, if you just stare at them in silence, they'd start filling up the air with inane ramblings until you take over.

How Shen Yun Tapped Religious Fervor to Make $266 Million The dance group has accumulated enormous wealth, in large part by getting followers of the Falun Gong religious movement to work for free and pay its bills.

I'm sure FLG is also involved in not just labor exploitation, but money laundering as well.

Top Propaganda Official Faces Investigation The sudden announcement Friday of a corruption probe against Zhang Jianchun marks just the second case in the Xi Jinping era of a senior propaganda official falling from grace.

Well it's nice to see that a top official in charge of publishing in China is being investigated for corruption and accepting bribes. (In China, you need official approval before publishing a book, or else you can go to jail.) This man is in charge of that.

Ooooo this is the cutest thing I've seen all day.
