I would totally watch this.

this comment reminds me of how people were talking about Chinese EVs a few years ago, and here you go https://www.trendforce.com/news/2025/03/10/news-chinas-homegrown-euv-machines-rumored-for-q3-trial-production-spelling-trouble-for-asml/

OpenAI is going to have no problems maintaining Chromium. I’m talking about maintenance of community forks of Chromium.

Same, it seems like there needs to be a new foundation that’s specifically focused on Firefox and nothing else. The problem with Mozilla is that they keep trying to do all kinds of stuff instead of just focusing on making a good browser.

I very much agree, I think Firefox is a far better platform to build on.

These are products maintained by companies with a lot of funding behind them. I’m talking about a community effort to continue developing Chromium if it continues to become shittier.

edit: I’m referring to community forks of Chromium here

Naturally, but if OpenAI takes Chrome in an even worse direction than Google, it’s going to be a huge challenge to make a sustainable fork of it that’s governed by the community.

I was referring to people trying to fork Chromium as open source.

Of course, that’s the only proper way to track this.

Chromium is a gigantic codebase that requires a team of experts to maintain, tests, and add features to. It’s far more complicated than just forking it. If this was easy, then people would’ve done this a long time ago.

You’d also have to count all the oil and gas that Canada exports to be burned around the world. Whether it’s used domestically or not doesn’t really make a difference.

When it comes to China, you really have to look at latest numbers because how much renewable installations there change year to year. China hit an inflection point in 2023 where fossil fuel usage started to shrink:

China installed more solar in 2023 than the rest of the world combined, with the majority of it coming online in the country’s sparsely populated west and north.

That same year, its renewable capacity grew faster than its overall demand for electricity — meaning its fossil fuel usage actually went backwards.

Then, in 2024 China continued to massively expand renewable usage (including solar)

China has achieved another year of remarkable growth in renewable energy, with the addition of 277 GW of solar and 79 GW of wind capacity in 2024. This surge has brought the cumulative solar and wind capacity to a staggering 1,407 GW. China contributed 15% of the world’s installed solar capacity in 2024 alone.

China hit new record of solar and wind power capacity additions in 2024 https://climateenergyfinance.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MONTHLY-CHINA-ENERGY-UPDATE-Feb-2025.pdf

China was at nearly 50% of the world’s solar capacity in 2024 according to IEA https://reglobal.org/snapshot-of-global-pv-markets-2024/

China’s new PV installations forecast to reach up to 255GW in 2025 https://www.pv-tech.org/chinas-new-pv-installations-forecast-to-reach-up-to-255gw-in-2025/

The pace of transition to renewables in China is on a completely different scale from the rest of the world.

Per capita production makes no sense actually, per capita consumption makes sense, and that’s double of that in China in Australia.

Clearly not in China, Vietnam, DPRK, Cuba, or Russia, or most of ASEAN. All of them have their shit together.

Let’s say it is, so what? The actual question to ask whether the text conveys useful information to the reader or not. Whether LLM was used to make the content more readable is completely irrelevant.

Like every technological advancement before it, AI under capitalism will inevitably become a tool for human exploitation. The issue was never the technology itself, it’s the rotten social and economic system that determines its use. The West’s profit-driven relations guarantee even our brightest innovations will be weaponized against workers.

Sticking head in the sand is the standard practice here.

I mean that’s why you read the article? 🤷

Given that the title literally non-nuclear in the title, there’s absolutely nothing misleading about it.
