The point is to get laws passed in the US that create a moat for them as businesses. They don’t care about competing with China, they care about competing with the next YC cohort.

I think that’s what I said. xD

I feel like there’s a parallel here to Trumpers rationalizing everything he says; I think the simple reality is that the US Jewish establishment, at certainly the institutional level, is okay with what Israel is doing but can’t admit that.

You think that “China bad” == “<insert western government> good” because you are too trapped in a Statist mindset to think of anything else.

Staties describe bad thing inherent to all states while thinking their state is different challenge (impossible)

It’s exactly what it says, but people living under any superpower’s sphere of cultural influence (Western, Eastern, or otherwise) are clearly prone to see their government’s actions as good and non-authoritarian.

tl;dr China is using AI for social control on a massive scale.
