    11M views. 11M well-informed Westerners casually parroting this arrogance.

    Now I wonder how many of those responsibly-up-to-date Westerners have seen the videos about how weong this one was?

        I took a tour around the comments (I know I know, youtube comment sections are the one thing worse than reddit) and…there are actually some people who are like “Yeah, that backfired pretty hard”.

        The biggest cope I see is “Oh yeah well uh…they can’t do it profitably enough so it isn’t sustainable!”. Like R&D stopped the second they had a working chip and isn’t actively lowering the cost already.

      As a point of order, Vox has 11M subscribers, the video has 5M views. Still ridiculous though.

      There’s always a bizarrely high viewcount on things like this that make me a bit suspicious as to how legitimate they actually are though.
