China is a totalitarian state with lip service to the free market. No one believes China has any of the freedoms it espouses. It's about as "free market" as a ponzi scheme with zero transparency into its markets, debt, companies, etc. Generation means nothing because they select for true believers.

The same people crushing people with tanks got promotions and are now running the government.

Like...you're so far off from reality idk what to say :(

Would you please not use HN for nationalistic/political battle? You've posted a bunch of such comments to this thread, it's not what this site is for, and it destroys the intellectual curiosity that it is for.

I've hardly said anything about China. You've however said it is completely equivalent to running people over with tanks. I think you are slightly off the deep end, and you view my moderateness as the opposite of your view, when I merely am a less extreme version. Haha. You.

I said nothing of the sort, I was merely saying the same country that engaged in those actions is also the same implementing this technology, and it would be naive to think about it as just technology.

Tech has users and it's important to consider who is using it. And those same people in positions of power now are the ones who actively murdered their own citizens in 1989. Idk why everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room, this is more than glasses and you cannot and should not separate the two.
