Nike, Adidas, Shein, Temu Sent Letter From House China Committee About Forced Labor

Rep. Mike Gallagher, Chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP goes after Nike, Adidas, others.
www.forbes.com www.forbes.com

“Enforcement of the UFLPA falls under U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”). In pursuit of enforcement the CBP may detain, seize, or exclude goods from importation into the US, and may issue civil penalties for companies found to be willfully non-compliant with the UFLPA.”

As much as I’d like to see Nike and othets get huge fines, the willfully part is hard to prove. But then it’s already helping:

“Since the law’s enactment [june 2022]U.S. Customs and Border Protection has stopped 2,692 shipments valued at more than $817 million USD.”

Would be nice if this and the companies‘ replies would be covered more extensively worldwide. If just a small percentage of Nike and Adidas customers would boycott them for this reason specifically it would no longer be profitable for them. I’d also like to see sport ‘stars‘ take a stand and find different sponsors.

If AI can't write one hour TV scripts, then it is really useless. Just analyze a few hundred scripts for different genres of TV shows like sitcoms and cop shows etc. Maybe not a general AI, but one can be made to specialize in Hollywood scripts, this shit has not changed in over 2000 years since the Greek 3 act play.

Next up actors, why not make a synthetic sex symbol that hits all the right buttons, even make a fake life for them. Costs a fraction of the price of a real one and then you can also get rid of costumes, makeup, lighting and a host of others no longer required.

People somehow think the arts and human creativity will be immune from technological change, AI already does poetry and painting and it's just the first generation.
