DeepSeek and A.I. and U.S. and China and Stuff.
LET’S put it this way: Some 30+ percent of U.S. imports come from China. Some 8,619 U.S. companies (including the biggies) are active in China. Why? Because we are buying nonstop, so they are selling or U.S. corporations continuously buy and manufacture products there to sell here for higher profits, less overhead. Etc etcetera.
Meanwhile, as the TikTok brouhaha was high, owner ByteDance created Lemon8, now they've tossed us Rednote. And after President Trump upped the mojo on A.I. projects (as in $100 billion in federal investments) the Chinese came up with DeepSeek.
Thought: The competition is economic, not military. That's why China has the global trade leverage. Yet in economics, it's all business. In the military, it's war.
THAT”S the way of the (superpower) world. A combination of global narcissism and business profit. We can only hope for less damage, yet the damage is more truth than fact. A.I. can be used in so many ways but I see more bad than good. At least, Mr Trump is more dovish per se than hawkish (like Mr Biden). But it doesn't mean the geopolitical fight is gone. Always there will be a "who is #1" competition.
Yet imagine, if China is "fighting" militarily over economics? Then that'd be the end of us. At least the U.S. and China are dealing with business with each other. Or talking. 🦿🤖🦾
The algorithm leads to Trump/Vance?
WHY so much fuss about wherever the (Facebook) algorithm brings us? Or seems to lead us? This is the internet. 95 percent of what I get on my email inbox are business ads. 90 percent of what I read on my Homepage are hate posts or hate memes. whether those are Left, Right or whatever angle Trump is tackled (mostly negative yarn or hate pitch).
So I just post as is to please me. Ignore the rest. I am a writer who loves to read what I write. So I just enjoy my structured postings. Dog and cat videos are a bonus. Life is good. Ceasefire in Gaza finally happened. My kids are fine and my dinner of “sinigang na baboy” + leftover steak from last night is ready. And I am set to face TV right now. 📱📲🥹
This year's Oscar awards drama.
Ah Hollywood drama!
Anyway, I was offended somehow by that "Everything Everywhere All at Once" movie that won a lot of awards in 2023 Oscar. But it's just 1 movie. So many movies to watch! But true, gone were those days when a movie was a movie. Exemplary and awful. Delineations were clear. These days, “culture war” distracts from the entertainment value of movie watching.
Anyways. I got a few whoa?!? moments in the last Golden Globes. In the TV category, Cristin Milioti ("The Penguin") was obviously a lot better than all nominees in the category (I saw them all in their movies). But it was Jodie Foster (“True Detective: Night Country”) who won. Because Colin Farrell won already for “The Penguin,” I guess?
Everybody be happy? Give awards as well to Koreans, Japanese, or Mexicans? Meanwhile, Jessica Gunning (“Baby Reindeer”) won over Allison Janney (“The Diplomat”). Obvious? "Shogun" was kickass as a series per se but the acting wasn't so award-worthy. But what about Cosmo Jarvis? I digress. 🎥📽🥲
