This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tech titans are expected to converge on San Francisco this week for some face time with the president of China.
For the first time in 12 years, the US is hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting, and the stage is set for America-based CEOs to improve their professional relationship with China.
Exxon CEO Darren Woods is scheduled to deliver a speech called “Reframing the Climate Challenge: Keep the Energy, Curb the Emissions.”
Meanwhile, Musk is set to talk with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff for “a conversation on AI and the Future” on Thursday, according to the official site.
Apple CEO Tim Cook isn’t set to attend APEC, but a government-affairs official will go in his place, according to Bloomberg.
Xi is set to meet with President Joe Biden while at the summit, and the pair are expected to sign a deal that would limit the use of artificial intelligence in nuclear weapon control systems.
The original article contains 336 words, the summary contains 155 words. Saved 54%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Yeah
I’m sure Xi will appreciate it to be taken for a fool
Nothing scummy about that /s
We need new lies!
Yawn
I really like A. A. Milne’s works but this seems a little hectic
Who fucking cares?
Do you browse news community and yell this at every single news that doesn’t include you?
When you browse “technology” you shouldn’t expect it to be about shitty tech bros going to dinner, it should be about, gasp, technology
Technology doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
Yeah, it does in the case of a forum like this. We don’t need to know about what techbro is doing, just about the tech. We might as well rename it “Musk spam”
Gasp, it’s so difficult to filter out stuff you find irrelevant. Gasp.
Yeah it is difficult to filter it out. What keyword do I ban, Musk? So when it goes “Musk unveils XYZ” I miss the post?
Users shouldn’t post irrellevant stuff in the first place
Every single news story doesn’t include me, what’s your point? Who fucking cares whose dick techbros are sucking? Like other commenter said this is just basically MuskSpam
Yup… and just after they are done setting up their manufacturing plant or tech hub, they will act all surprised (surprised-pikachu.jpg) when some made up excuse are fabricated to shake down their newly minted “investment” just like Several foreign businesses have been raided by the authorities. and cry how could this possibly have happened, all offended, while demanding for a bailout or a loss carryover of their future taxes.
Then there is the multitude of spying and theft: Allegations of intellectual property theft by China or through their Thousand Talents Program by offering high salaries, privileges and rewards to the chinese diaspora in various countries to bring back sensitive documents, blueprints, diagrams, formulas, and manufacturing-related proprietary data before leaving their previous workplace.
Unfortunately, China is at the crossroad of multiple extraordinary challenges it had been delaying, exacerbating or skipping for the last few decades :
All of the above while an ongoing China-U.S. trade war.
Hence, my doubt on foreign investor’s (voluntary, well informed and rational) return into a unfriendly and drastically changed Chinese economy.
I hope I am wrong and I absolutely wish for the best for China and the everyday peoples of China currently struggling to eke out a living due a series of unfortunate natural and/or preventable human caused disasters, all amplified by a leadership prioritising ideology over effective governance, or control over pragmatism.
This is not tech news. This is just normal news. The only reason it is tech news, because the executives know technology
The executives own technology.
