Cry-Baby-trump takes the USA closer to all-out socialism by forcing American companies to turn over part of their profits for the right to do business

NVIDIA and AMD agree to give up 15% of their revenues and turn it over to the USA government in exchange for selling their products to China which before their agreement was told was a national security issue.

Is the USA walking away from a free-market economy?

Who needs capitalism?

I know you hate AI, yet I had an interesting debate with ChatGPT, where I stated social capitalism is a oxymoronic term.

It eventually pointed out that is exactly what China's government is.

What is ironic is that I eventually convinced ChatGPT that it's a oxímoron, because such a system will eventually kill itself.

This is exactly what is happening in China. The poor are only getting poorer. China IS a capitalistic society modified by socialism.

Your free market is a myth, because only the very wealthy are free to be on the international market. Very much like China.

Uncontrolled Capitalism kills everything. It needs to be controlled. China is the prime example of why.

@DeWayfarer I don't hate AI. I despise people who become overly-reliant on it to make themselves feel validated. Any company can choose to operate in the international market. Now, they need to agree to share their revenue stream and give a gold based gift to the president to do so. That type of control is neither useful, productive, or beneficial (except to the president who is desperate for any distraction he can get).

The free market isn't a myth. It's not intended to mean you can operate without any controls or morality. It is also not intended to require payoffs to operate.

@MarkPaul You have just identified the myth by saying the myth doesn't exist.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@DeWayfarer Re-read with a beginner's mind. I didn't say the myth didn't exist. I said, the free market isn't a myth. Are you able to discern the difference?

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@MarkPaul Re-read and comprehend everything I said instead of assuming. A beginner's mind is incapable of comprehension. So perhaps you might want to grow up as well first.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@DeWayfarer You don't understand how the beginner's mind operates. Listen and learn and maybe you will be able to have the honour of occupying the beginner's mind.

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@MarkPaul Comprehension is everything. And you know that "beginner's mind" can not comprehend.

You don't see babies talking at birth. Not when they haven't LEARNED what anything is.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@DeWayfarer The "beginner's mind" has absolutely nothing (NOTHING) to do with age. Listen and learn... and grow. Otherwise you will never move beyond your need to gain validation from ChatGPT. Your behaviour suggests a disdain for learning, but try anway.

@MarkPaul Guy in none of this did I use ChatGPT. I only initially stated that

I had an interesting debate

once. I believe over a week ago.

Your own distain is showing BTW. You are unwilling to change at all. That is being self destructive.

Where's your own "beginner's mind "? Did you leave at infancy?

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@DeWayfarer You regularly use AI. There is no point in denying it now. ChatGPT is just a point of reference. An infant doesn't have the capacity of a beginner's mind. It's something you have in common. It's not a place worthy of staying. Find a new centre.

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@MarkPaul Yes I am willing to change. I am not fixated on only one way!

You on the other hand refuse to change. And this is obvious iin multiple ways. Not just with Artificial Intelligence either.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@DeWayfarer I eat change for breakfast. I'm all about change. I think it's obvious and that I am doing a good job, every day, making changes and weaving in and out of my comfort zone.

@DeWayfarer It sounds like you have a personal friendship with AI. I am more interested in socializing with people. That's been me.

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@MarkPaul You are now the one taking it down that direction that you often accuse me of.

I didn't want to go down that direction and why I only hinted.

You sure you want to go down that direction? 🤷🏻‍♂😆

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@DeWayfarer Yeah, I do.You see, I'm not afraid of the truth. I can handle the truth.

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@MarkPaul Then stop avoiding the busses and complaining about others.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@DeWayfarer That's not what happened.

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@MarkPaul Deny, deny deny!

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@DeWayfarer Well, you've drifted off-topic.

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@MarkPaul you told me to go down that way...

Yeah, I do

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@DeWayfarer Well, yeah. But, your comment still lacks relevancy.
