Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The article compares the different approaches and goals of China and the US in developing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
China is focusing on building large-scale AI systems that can perform specific tasks such as facial recognition, natural language processing, and autonomous driving. China aims to use AI to boost its economic growth, social stability, and global influence.
The US is pursuing more fundamental research on the nature and limits of intelligence, both human and artificial. The US hopes to create more general and adaptable AI systems that can learn from diverse data and environments, and solve complex problems across domains.
The article argues that both countries face challenges and risks in their AI endeavors, such as ethical, legal, and social issues, as well as potential conflicts and competition. The article suggests that more cooperation and dialogue between the two countries could benefit both sides and the world.
The US is also doing a whole lot of work on facial recognition, language processing, and autonomous driving. How do they quantity the efforts of each nation in those areas?
Lack of effective deployment, mostly.
? Are there working self driving cars in China? And natural language processing is everywhere. But I agree on facial recognition, that's much more useful to for China's government style.
L5? No. L4? Of course. IIRC it's even been exported to the UAE.
Edit: London has more security cameras per capita than Beijing. I'm not sure what your point is?
Half a dozen us companies have that too.
China's networking of the information is the relevant part, not the number of overall cameras. It supports their move towards more control over money and what people can purchase.
