Death penalty is entirely up to Supreme People’s Court and has been since CCP took over. It basically means the authoritarians decide which cases are death worthy. But it’s truethere have been some “reforms” that reduced what is death worthy and try to legitimize the system. Either way, all of that is moot in an authoritarian system and it’s silly to pretend otherwise.
Agreed, the cruelty and brutallity of these organizations is something else entirely and this sends a clear message that you will die if you go here. If anyone deserves a death penalty it’s these guys.
I’m generally against death penalty but this is great news. Chinese syndicates in the region are some of the worst people on earth right now and I say this as someone who’s currently based in Thailand and have been paying attention to the scam center issue for years now.
Seems like whatever protection they had within CCP is crumbling due to critical mass reaching the news lately and mostly thanks to strong exposure here by western journalists and pressure from SEA governments. Even CCP could not tolerate this and hopefully this means the end of this truly despicable source of human suffering.
There’s also been some rumors that CCP is directly involved with this as a policy to harm the west and weaken the SEA region which make sense, especially given the authoritarian nature but AFAIK there is no strong evidence here and it might have gotten too high profile either way so it’s very possible that these centers will be defeated soon.
That’s exactly what Coke wants. This brand is so big they don’t advertise to sell but to remind people that they should grab a coke from the fridge and brb I’ll do just that
Which is exactly the same thing as empowering copyright.
The philosophical doctrine of copyright is fundamentally flawed because it’s just impractical unless there’s a god like entity to enforce it. What a load of bullcrap my dude.
Big tech absolutely will spend billions if Apple Intelligence or Gemini is the only legal commercial LLM, this type of moat is 100% worth it. It’s literally the dream.
You got it the other way around. There’s no way to actually prove LLM used copyrighted material if it’s not a US based model and what then? Do you have a commercial allow list of models thst are legal to use? That would be completely unenforceable and collapse american tech advantage.
What about people who don’t care about IP law? Or trillion dollar companies? You think people just going to stop using LLMs? Lol
Ofc everything that doesn’t fit your dead brain world model is AI
Yes let your rage blind you - that’s very helpful. Maybe we should elect a strong leader and give them all of the power and our rights so he could take on these billionaires /s
God forbid some copyright holders lose their grip on information
Yes he would have loved to see us empower copyright as a response to that! /s
People are missing the forest for the trees if they think empowering copyright to block AI training is a good thing for our society. Who do you think will be able to afford the training? This will lead to Disney AI™ and Apple Intelligence™ vs China, Russia pirate Bay models - real cyberpunk dystopia.
They are extremely litigious. I work in software security and they are notorious for basically having an ocean of lawyers.
Domestic and international politics are very different but if anything China’s aggression enables the corruption in Philippines
Man you’re talking out of your ass. I’ve been visiting Vietnam for over 10 years now, I live in SEA and have many Vietnamese friends with whom we discuss world politics and here you are saying that Vietnam and China has no tensions in the South China Sea when that’s by far the #1 geopolitical issue in the region.
Not even going to entertain your walls of nonsense anymore as you’re just building strawmen and attacking me. Get lost troll.
Tell me why is war with China going to happen
Are you living under a rock or something? Vietnam’s number 1 security issue is China and nobody else.
I go to Vietnam at least once a year and Vietnam hates China as it’s really the only security challenge in the region. Cambodia and Laos are buffer zones that will never evolve into anything serious ever and other neighbours are an ocean away. To add, there’s a big cultural clash between Vietnamese and Chinese that is out of scope of this thread.
South-China Sea conflict is literally the biggest brewing issue in the region and you’d be an idiot to say otherwise.
Also bringing in WW2 and Vietnam-US war is so incredibly out of touch. Most Vietnamese have long forgotten the french and the americans and if anything got significantly closer to both than to China.
The jets there are 100% for south-china sea conflict hot or posturing. You think they will send them to fight US tarrifs? What are you even talking about. Again, a huge wall of utter rubbish.
what a big wall of absolute nonsense.
You could read the article and yes that’s the whole point that Vietnam will likely never receive the jets it’s just a way to take take Vietnamese tax payer’s money and use it to sponsor ruzis.
Vietnam owes Russia 8B for the deal -> instead of paying which would void sanctions, they join with ruzis to help them launder oil and gas -> ruzis launder 8B oil/gas profits through Vietnam -> Vietnam maybe gets the jets in several decades if ruzia doesn’t collapse.
Good, any religion for kids who don’t even have the slightest concept of their own mortality or metaphysics is uenthical and immoral, period.
But what would banning headscarves in daycare centers even achieve
it allows people to escape oppression? Religion has no place in day care centres, period.
Yes I think Vietnam recently used something similar but AFAIK reprieve here leads to commuted sentence if no crimes are commited not like “you got 2 years now you die” more like “you got 2 years and didn’t do major shit so instead serving 20 instead of dying”.
