Corry Wang wrote a fascinating twitter thread on tech in China a few days ago, and it includes:<p>> What does the internet look like without the web? Apparently, China. I don't think I saw a single person open a browser at any point on my trip...<p>and goes into more detail from there. Well worth reading. It aligns incredibly with this article.<p>-- <a href="https://x.com/corry_wang/status/1804828474558877955" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/corry_wang/status/1804828474558877955</a>
The Chinese Internet has already migrated more or less into the social media walled gardens, this will have huge impact on the type of AI that will be produced in China. It is also likely the direction of travel in the US Internet, as publishers wall off their data and license it (i.e Reddit, SO and presumably at some point HN) or use it to train their own AI. Fascinating future ahead
