An unfamiliar company gets easier to understand when you can see who supplies it and who it works with. Lazlo maps those commercial relationships back to public sources. A starting point for deciding where to look next. lazlointelligence.com

In 2023, a former Samsung executive was accused of stealing factory designs to build a rival plant in Xi'an. Now Samsung is upgrading its Xi'an plant to make more advanced chips. What has changed in how it protects that technology? reuters.com/world/china/sams…

ChatGPT can't create images of trade between countries because it is too sensitive. I guess visualizing how the global economy operates is triggering for some people? #chatgpt "Even neutral concepts like trade or tech export between countries are often flagged"
