Most US outlets are not reporting on this part of the story of the siege of CUHK university.
If the police seize control of the university, they can monitor / filter all traffic. The whole city can go dark.

The unique value proposition of bots is that they're embedded inside groups of people, as naturally as group chat. I think we'll be seeing more of this trend in the coming year.

Not that AliExpress is much better with counterfeit, but it is the "fresh" contender to the West. There might be a movement away from Amazon's core business as AliExpress / Ali* expand here.

I'm somewhat worried about this upcoming wave of bots replacing jobs. There seem to be 2 paths forward:

2. Mad Max outcome: Money and resources are hoarded by the people who own the bot industry, everyone else suffers.

The inability to monitor their whole network for scam advertising might cripple facebook's dominance as their main revenue source becomes less trusting but the scale of their operations relies on that consistent revenue:

It's discouraging when new employees expect a certain lifestyle on joining your startup but you're runway is less than a year. Startups have been portrayed as having so many perks that there's an impossibly high standard to strive toward.
