  • I ain’t gonna read all that but some quotes are hilarious

    When I asked him why he had gone through so much trouble to get to an Ivy League university only to off-load all of the learning to a robot, he said, “It’s the best place to meet your co-founder and your wife.”

    Lee explained to me that by showing the world AI could be used to cheat during a remote job interview, he had pushed the tech industry to evolve the same way AI was forcing higher education to evolve.

  • I tried reading The Long Twentieth Century at one point and Arrighi touched upon the isolationism aspect of the Qing dynasty in the first chapter. Europe wanted to colonise China, which they did, but not the other way round. This was mostly because in terms of trade there wasn’t much that Europe could offer that China wanted. I am no expert but considering how the British Empire had to get China hooked on opium for something like tea (which is an iconic British beverage now) it can’t be that far from the truth.
