China has everything to gain from a weakened America. These tariffs will hurt China short term. Long term it’s America that will be hurt the most.

Even if that’s true the price would still increase. The exporting country would just charge extra to make up the difference. It’s not like they would just absorb the extra cost by pure goodwill for the oh so poor American people.

A loss in sales of Chinese goods in America will hurt China.

”Trade war resistant” is probably closer to reality. It’s a major disruption that’s going to hurt their economy, but they can probably adjust. China can always sell their goods to some other country.

In grand scheme, I suppose America is more dependent on China than China is on America. It’s going to be difficult for America to replace Chinese goods.

AI is probably going to transform how code is written, but I don’t think AI will fully replace programmers. At least not in the foreseeable future.

Most of a programmer’s work is maintaining existing code. This is something current AI models still struggle with.

His target audience is teenagers, so that’s what you get. I think having a guy like him teach kids about LiDAR and stuff in an entertaining way is a win.

But yeah, as a 30 year old I agree he’s a bit too much.
