    Any announcements like this coming from China should be taken with a huge grain of salt the size of… China.

      Yep. They‘re putting out what they call huge breakthroughs on a weekly basis for months and make headlines. By the time they have been put into perspective or straight out debunked and torn to shreds by the global scientific community, they already squeezed out another wild claim to overshadow criticism. Rinse and repeat. There is a reason the overwhelming majority of AI generated slob studies come from China. They want fast results and know the press won‘t really read them and instead just quote whatever they claim.

      It’s wild that y’all feel so comfortable being so openly Sinophobic.

      They put a lot of funding into scientific research, and surprise surprise they get results. Maybe we should emulate their success, instead of continuing to waste our budget on war.

        Skepticism of positive press (aka propaganda) from a country notorious for cracking down on negative press (i.e. any mention of Tiananmen Square) is not a phobia. It’s completely justified.
