As a Chinese , I can tell you that the mainstream opinion of Chinese thinking AI safety is that they don't care, as there is not much difference between serving as a tool for capitalists or as a flesh-and-blood battery for AI. The more discussed topic is that why we can never create something like ChatGPT.

it was mind blowing visiting a few cities in China. My first time in big cities where i didn't see a single homeless and didn't have to deal with that guilt.

was also cheap and extremely well received by everyone.

after my first time, I've been there three more and honestly loving asia more and more.

a lot you hear about china in western media is laughed about by them because it's straight up nonsense antichinese propaganda.

just go man, I bet you will absolutely love it.

im going at least once this year again to visit a different city, hopefully will be able to make two trips but that's another story.

Now that I think of it, if everything is under camera and surveillance on streets, I should feel safe in a way. Though I was more suggesting being randomly detained by officials under suspicion of being an international spy agent.

I am interested to see the Old China. so mostly nature but also see some cities sure. but would love to see more of the rural areas and places that seem to still have a bond with the old times.

dude Lol i think I'm replying to you again because i had the same stupid fear.

that doesn't happen, period.

police there are actually friendly as fuck and i even got to smoke a few cigarettes with a couple of them while sheltering from a storm in a fruit shop lol

if you can speak a little chinese or make friends with locals (my case) you will be able to solve a lot of your misconceptions about the country.

Is it? I heard that despite the surveilance a lot of the people who would act on the crimes such as police are highly corrupt which is why child kidnapping in china is so common.

As American, i feel most of us humans inside know better , actually care for each other and have less jealous and selfish intent on a human level than what us humans as a whole have been acting like due to the thoughts, opinions, and actions few in power. Hopefully AI will help us come together as we know we should and build a great future. Pride, that’s something that should come from achieving positive deeds, we’re at a, no, THE crossroads, where will we let ourselves go (or be taken) from here? Out of 1 comes many, and nobody wants to be dead, dead sucks.…
