#China is building an open national chip plan around #RiscV

Chinese RISC-V Alliance was established in 2018 to build out a full open-source chip ecosystem by 2030.

Long-term goal is to create a platform with full chip development platform with open-source chip designs, electronic design automation, and verification tools.

Chinese institutions are currently developing open-source EDA tools to design RISC-V chips.

kkarhan,

@yogthos So does every nation to some extent.

Granted if you know me and my opinions [I don't expect you to have checked out my entire feed] you'd know that I think #HumanRights are not negotiable.

Basics like housing, food, water, freedom of movement, ban of forced labour, right to defend oneself and one's mutuals, etc.

I don't deny said ties - that would be foolish.

I just think that by every metric and skew #Taiwan is freer than the #PRC...

Everything else would be #LyingWithNumbers...

kkarhan,

@yogthos the #PRC is #capitalist in that it never was communist, but operated on state-capitalism at most.

In fact, I'd argue it's worse in terms of investment and economy cuz unlike the USA or India one's success depends on being in good terms with Winnie Pooh and pissing him off is basically a death sentence to any serious business.

That makes it bad even for convinced hardcore capitalists...

1/ Russian teenagers who were once hailed as "future Elon Musks" are reported to have been put to work around the clock in conditions of "teenage slavery" to build Shahed kamikaze drones in Tatarstan. They are reportedly shot at close range with paintball guns to weed out "wimps and brats."

The facility has also recruited teenagers from African countries, catfishing them via dating apps. It has focused on recruiting girls, as African boys are regarded as "too aggressive and dangerous". ⬇️

@ChrisO_wiki Nothing surprises you anymore when it comes to and and they do repeat things that happen in 1930's as the idea of dividing the world between the and

“Regardless of where the service is provided, as long as the public within the PRC territory has access to it, the Draft Measures apply. To avoid being subject to Chinese law, OpenAI, for example, has reportedly begun blocking users based in mainland China.”

kkarhan,

@FrankPasquale well, what if one's outside the #PRC, refuses to comply AND is in a juristiction that doesn't enforce any requests from Beijing?

Espechally since it ain't some "#HumanRight" like #Privacy which #GDPR & #BDSG aim to safeguard.

"The Borg wants to join the Federation. No, not the one led by Jurati, the one that tried to assimilate all of Earth's people."

"Oh, but I'm sure it'll be fine, let's just give them a chance."

kkarhan,

@unfossil @Are0h @RiverEnodian Both #TikTok & #Facebook are bad for the same reasons.

#MassSurbeillance doesn't become less evil or wrong because it's done by the #USA and not "#PRC"...

Just as state sponsored & endorsed murder aka. "death penalyt" doesn't become less wrong when it's done by the USA insteas #KSA...

"... #PKD's #SecondVariety, and not even #TheMatrix, but just as #surveillance technology has surpassed what was possible in #Orwell's #1984, in particular in the #PRC, we are moving beyond #Fahrenheit451, too.

The biggest trouble is that the ancient #Viking #Norns seem to be weaving all those #dystopian fates of humanity into one.

In the May 15th #TheEconomist's Editor's Picks podcast, they were looking historically at the impact on productivity growth...

...the #PRC and the #GreatFirewallOfChina.*

On the practical side, hundreds of governments would need to pass laws to force human content creators to use some kind of digital signature. This would mean, all #SocialMedia accounts would need to be verified. The dream of all law- enforcement officers...and tyrants.
Apart from that,...
