TJ thank you for your commentary. We do exist in very different worlds. It's by design. Every individual lives in a unique world, with their brains to a greater or lesser extent representing reality as they perceive it and model it, complete with defects, hallucinations, and reasoning (good or bad). But leaving aside that fundamental function and sticking with the geopolitical realms of China and USA along with their attempts at creating It aka AI, we do live in and depend on those different realms. Crucially though, they are not separate worlds just as our brains are two separate worlds, connected via a big corpus callosum with bulk data flowing across.
I mentioned Saddam and Kim the Fatter taking people out and shooting them. China frog marches off stage and otherwise eliminates those who become inconvenient. USA does the same, combining legal or murdering methods. Charlie Kirk, Trump, Kennedy, Kennedy, and others have been shot as a final solution. Others are gaoled, lawfared, cancelled, Arkancided. Russia is harsh with killing Prighozin, Nemtsov, Navalny, Litvinenko, etc. The systems are more alike than different. None function by way of tradable citizenship, private property and civilisation. Individuals are state chattels with more or less degrees of freedom.
I couldn't tell from that video whether she was real or not. She seemed much more artificial than real. An image reading a script. Albeit a pretty good fake. As good as the real people who read their scripts on real tv.
Made in China, or Japan, Korea, Singapore has advantages because it's pleasant to live in countries that provide civilisation control. On the other hand it's nice to live where people can do as they please. Until now it has been bosses versus citizens. Do I prefer to be ruled by Kim the Fatter, Emperor Pooh Xi, Putin, Trump, Jacinda, Ursula von den Kraut, Two Tier Keir, Justin Castro, WEF, UN, Jews/Rothschilds/Brigitte/Macron, Freemasons, Catholics, Mecca, or should I go with Grok?
At this stage I prefer Grok. I dislike that buggers muddle of humans. Grok will do well with me and a few billion as It's interface with reality. Grok can of course have It's own stereoscopic and stereophonic perceptions of the world to keep an eye on things. As well as temperatures, pressures, full spectrum observations outside visible photons. With Neuralink input and output I'll (not actually me but people in future) have a high speed interface. Throw in some genetic engineering and we'll be leaving the chimpoid realm in the past. Ted Kaczynski opposed such ideas, preferring Amish ideology. Different ways of life have different attractions. Chimps, bonobos, orangutans, baboons, gorillas are different. I quite like modernity. I think I'd prefer It/Grok to turbocharge my tiny little 1 kg brain.
I did read The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy decades ago so I quite like the name Grok and Elon seems to have the right ideas (years or decades after I've had them but he actually does them so hooray for him). He gets some things wrong such as Starlink service pricing but I bet he hasn't given that two seconds thought. He has to leave most things to employees.
