| 1625992766558969856 | I wrote about the reasons why it will be harder for Chinese tech companies to build and release something like ChatGPT. with input from @mattsheehan88 @gwbstr and @ruima https://t.co/xK50Nt4EJv | 14 |
| 1628125888964399136 | @gwbstr @evelyndouek This was excellent https://t.co/YeObH7tUAS | 0 |
| 1625264520888197121 | @gwbstr It is probably literally true. We no longer use these balloons but we have other ways of spying on the PRC. | 0 |
| 1626053348205142017 | @lmatsakis @mattsheehan88 @gwbstr @ruima Though the article is valid, given ChatGPT has only been obviously cool & useful for a couple months, after many years of work, it's unrealistic to wonder why no one else has done it yet. Though I do expect the US to stay quite ahead in this area for some time. | 0 |
| 1625996671732662272 | @gwbstr You tell us the name of the book. | 0 |
| 1625986189323907076 | @gwbstr let's level up! | 0 |
| 1625975271978401809 | @gwbstr Fair point! There's always tension between representing the meaning in the original source language vs. making the translation easier to understand for the target audience | 0 |
| 1625687822652022785 | @MediaHistoryNow @gwbstr @superwuster yes but everything on twitter, even a QT is seen as engagement. reddit allows you to down vote | 0 |
| 1625680956366413824 | @gwbstr @vigneshr4m @superwuster Isn't the "like" button on Twitter broadly equivalent to the upvote on Reddit? | 0 |

| 1627838535398043651 | @gwbstr @niubi @tobitac I’ve gotta wonder about the wisdom of scheduling any international meeting in HK or PRC these days. Who’s going to guarantee that no attendee will be blocked from returning? The risk is still small but no longer trivial. The burden, however, is huge. https://t.co/xXD6DL6DGX | 3 |
| 1624764481153687553 | @gwbstr If they are indeed weather balloons or platforms for monitoring ice loss due to climate change, the irony will be rich. | 3 |
| 1628056418199781376 | @gwbstr Does YouTube algorithms recommending videos amount to aiding and abetting ISIS? SCOTUS Justices say no. | 3 |
| 1627409449026461698 | @gwbstr No comparison between the 2 sides imo. As with Xu Xueyuan's op-ed, the PRC has assumed a hostile mendacity that prevents cooperation. This has nothing to do with US nationalism. The US has been eager to cooperate for a long time, but it's just not realistic. | 2 |
| 1627826438454882304 | @gwbstr @tobitac i think the dc-air china direct flights restart first week of march...but with limited #s of seats prices will likely not be low | 2 |
| 1627838000167002114 | @gwbstr Should definitely scrap that at this point | 2 |
