It’s an oversimplification…but not a big one.

It’s a massive oversimplification that seems to whitewash China’s policies.

Every country that undergoes industrialisation and urbanisation has a big drop in birth rates. Same in capitalist and socialist countries, there’s no essential difference in how it plays out (the tempo is different from case to case for many reasons, but the trend is the same). But China additionally made the rates plummet through govt intervention.

So you stressed and praised the part that wasn’t truly crucial for the outcome (socialism), but ignored the part (one child policy) that drastically contributed to the outcome and that can’t be presented as nice or intuitively desirable (regardless of whether it objectively was or wasn’t a good decision). That’s not simplification but selectiveness.

(Yes, it is true that many lemmings who live outside China just project their own “China sucks” logic onto the Chinese, and their approach is wrong, I agree with you on that count.)

I’m sorry, how the fuck can an app made for men to find other men to get their back blown out be AI first.

AI is pretty good at fucking people in the ass.

(Ok, the above article is mostly not true, the story was made up by an Onion-style satirical portal.)

Places usually don’t vanish into nonexistence after five years.

Doesn’t do that for me. I have to hold left click on a link for over a second to trigger it.

I misunderstood the previous comments, actually, yeah, it’s not triggered the way I assumed.

The use case is “give me the key bullet points of this article so I can decide if I should give it more attention.”, and it does that job pretty well.

I’ll put aside all the other complaints I have on my mind, because we’ve both probably gone through similar discussions, I don’t want to get bogged down in yet another, and just say that I honestly can’t imagine this being such a useful or time-saving thing in the first place. Like, did it use to be a frequent problem to you to start reading an article, realise you’re not interested, and give up on it?

you only encounter it by interacting with the browser in an atypical way

Leaving my pointer on a random place that happens to be a link is atypical? I don’t think it is. I had this pop up to me a couple of days ago and I didn’t even understand what could’ve triggered it, I was wondering if I clicked something or pressed a key unconsciously.

and the thing it does is a thing that AI is actually pretty decent at (summarizing text)

Pretty decent? Just passable, if the text is about some run-of-the-mill topic.

otro lenguaje

Which one? You mean the Ukrainian response that got four downvotes?

Stigmatising a language, which is frequently one of crucial elements of people’s identity, is pretty fucking racist.

It really is funny to me. Maybe annoying for others.

Let’s not pretend Google Translate isn’t a couple of taps away.

Я думаю, что русскоговорящих на Лемми почти нет.

Edit: it’s funny how in a thread about racism, people are massively downvoting comments in a language other than English: D
