? No mental gymnastics? Sure there are!

“Use this tech” implies the same tech as everyone else, including satire, no? What else could it mean? Oh, it could mean, “use this tech in only ways that are allowed by a totalitarian dictator, continuing to spread china’s government’s racism and hatred of certain minorities, and also normalize self-censorship globally”.

That’s really what it means-that it’s more important to the CEO that China should continue suppression of its people and also to exert the maximum influence it can socially on the world, than it is too stop specifically midjourney in China.

Plenty of mental gymnastics required there.



Let's everyone pull out of doing business with all Chinese in China...

and see how well that works in altering the course if history.


I see that worked pretty well for North Korea already :^)
