China is currently building 50 nuclear reactors, Usa is currently building 0.
It's clear who will win the tech race.
>>
Is that actually true? I've seen headlines of us building out some more nuclear to help with the data center power grid.
>>
Nuclear has been obsoleted by solar and wind power.
>>
China is a building a future for the machines, while we are still stuck here being human-centric. This is a problem
>>
America has been so raped by capitalism the only thing they can "build" are things like polymarket
US "tech" sector is literally just ad companies
If a bridge goes down in America they will take 100 years to rebuild it
>>
>>109735207
Every home should have 4 mini-micro-mini-micro reactors and neighborhoods should load-balance all of them. All long-haul power transmission lines should be recycled.
>>
US restarting few old ones. For some retarded reason everything is so expensive in US, so even the fact of being the richest country doesn't help.
>>
>>109735277
>human-centric
you mean corpo-cuck-centric
>>
>>109735207
Both countries are purging their generals just like Soviets and Germany did right before ww2 started. I don't know. Maybe 50 brand new targets isn't the best idea in the world, but at the same time Chinese concrete would probably do the work anyways.
>>
>>109735255
Nuclear is base load 24/7, wind and solar is intermittent.
Also the chink power plants are built with mass production principles contrary to the one-off approach the west uses. So their $/kW is way lower
>>
>>109735363
There won't be any war, China doesn't want war, China is winning by just focusing on itself.
It's the US who is warmongering, the power is slipping away, mutts every day get more desperate and their "superpower" status turns into dust.
>>
>>109735392

Americans don't want war. Trump can't ramp up the war in Iran because 80% of Americans, including Republicans, no longer have any appetite for distant forever war. Obama ran into the same problem when he was trying to build support for a Syrian invasion. We are actually very much not war hungry anymore.

We love outdoor server racks, don't we?

>>109735255
>2 weeks of clouds and no wind
>Yeah, the collapse of civilisation was bad but the only alternative made me feel wrong
>>
>>109735255
the 2 other things china is a world leader in?
>>
>>109735356
"Corperations are people too" is how they justify calling the US "human centric" in this context.

The average US citizen paying however much more than China? That's just the cost of making 10 desk jobs that just exist to find ways to screw you and your business. You have empathy and emotional maturity to not want those high paying, low impact jobs to go away if electricity was sold cheap right?
>>
grok says this isn't true
why do anonymous posters hallucinate more than shitty models?
>>
>>109735321
They literally took 3 years to repair a rural bridge on my commute to work. That shit was 25 feet long. I have no faith in the future of this country.
>>
>>109735207
China is Communist—not Capitalist: they cannot innovate—only copy. Face it—China will lose and America will win: Capitalism always wins.

our leaders are all literal Israeli agents and half the voters are women or brown.
our money isn't even real and congress churns out about 4000 pages of legislature a year.
the problem is with our democracy.
not capitalism that we haven't even had for almost an entire century. we haven't had capitalism since the new deal and bretton woods
>>
>>109736553
most of those things are caused by capitalism
yes you have capitalism
it's like AIDS and you're in the terminal stage
>>

It's like watching two guys named Jamal pass notes to each other. Have some white decency and self respect in how you communicate. Hitting shift and making a paragraph isn't hard. Stop pretending you're above doing the basics expected of any white person.
>>
Chinese got tired of hydroelectricity already? In the US it varies, but I know in California they're trying to cover the deserts in solar panels and windmills much to the opposition of nimbies.

Mutts will get blown the fuck out so hard
I wonder how they will take it just being a "normal" country like the others
Will probably nuke the entire world out of seething rage
>>
>>109736674
they are currently building the worlds biggest dam (the #2 spot is also theirs) my little nigga

Retard post of the threat in at reply 2.
>>
>>109736502
That's beaurocracy, not a lack of ability.
>>
>>109736773
china has bureaucracy and rebuilds bridges just fine
>>
>>109735242
>I've seen headlines of us building out some more nuclear to help with the data center power grid.
yes, trump said some stuff about that
number currently being built is ZERO
>>
>>109736679
Oh like Russia
they'll invade Canada
>>
>>109735413
Would it even matter? War fattens the purses of people in power, what is the populace going to do? Any time a reform movement starts gaining ground, the distraction propaganda machine spins up, there's a school shooting, a murder, an attack somewhere, and then it's whitey's fault or the trannies' fault, or immigration. (((People))) go to the movement leaders' houses, and it all comes crashing down.
Every day the US sinks deeper and deeper into dystopic levels of bullshittery and nothing ever happens. I despise China but at least they're not actively working to make my paycheck be worth 50% less every year because a CEO needs his 5th yacht
>>
>>109735334
The average homeowner can't even change an HVAC filter on time. Yet you want to give them radioactive material
>>
modern america feels like it doesnt care about future tech at all. this country seems to have become very conservative and luddite, where people prefer older technology for warm humanistic reasons
>>
USA is building clean coal. The most beautiful electricality.
>>
>>109737098
IDK if it's correct to call it "conservative"
Pretty much everyone in the US is extremely opinionated on what should be built and what should be developed.

Perhaps the biggest thing that holds tech back is the extremely tribal mindset that tech should not be used to disrupt the lives of certain classes of people.

Ai shouldn't disturb middle management, creatives and office workers. Self-driving cars shouldn't disturb truck drivers or uber/taxi drivers. Abundant electricity generation shouldn't disturb fossil fuel workers or materially change the economy from the current path.
>>
>>109735321
>>109736502
LOL. This is so true. It's so fucked and it's unsustainable.
