I wouldn't say China is backed in to a corner. Like I said they've been planning this for a while. If anything, this shows China's plan is working. Ironically, China's plan is pretty much freedom for all sovereign nations. But as we see with what's going on, the world is choosing the freedom China is offering.

I think you're misunderstanding me. Conflict is not war, two companies selling a similar product are in conflict. I don't think Google is sending a hit squad to Microsoft because of their competition.

China clearly wants to compete with USA on multiple levels, they've been doing this since the country was reformed under communism. It's not like they even pretended anything otherwise. From Mao to Deng to Xi China has always said it will develop in it's own way and will confront any one who tries to disturb the peace of the country. Sure enough, from the moment China was reformed, USA has constantly disturbed the peace of the country. Thus, China has always known they were in conflict with the US. It's only now they're strong enough to make it clear they want to be left alone and will use their military if it comes to it.

So yes, even though it's defensive (and I'm not saying countries shouldn't be defensive) China has wanted this conflict. They have every right to this conflict as it's literally the sovereignty of their nation, but it's still wanting conflict. One that they have a clear path to victory.

What's more interesting to me is USA keeps whining about how China's changing the world order. Yet, their actions show that they approve of it and are running full steam in trying to implement China's new world order. Let's list what USA complains about:

  1. China's trade practices are unfair and they subsidize their companies - USA is now desperately trying to out subsidize China on chips.
  2. China censors foreign media and has no freedom of speech - USA is banning Tik Tok because it promotes China's speech
  3. China is committing genocide - USA helps Israel commit genocide

I could go on. But what it all means to me is USA has totally given up on it's beliefs on human rights, freedom of speech and free trade. Instead it's trying to poorly imitate China. This is the conflict China wanted and USA is giving it to them on a golden platter.

Oh my god, machine learning is not AI. It's a subset of AI. Do you not understand intelligence? It's not just the learning aspect. Yes, you need to learn to be intelligent, but you also need to generate. I'm giving you a hint to the other subset of AI that you don't seem to know about.

This is the poorest understanding of AI I have ever read. The whole point of AI is that it can create things that it's original creator would not have. The whole fear of AI is even though it's created by humans we question if we can control it. And that fear is what leads people to talk about how it's mysteriously deciding to do things that could be unethical.

So, learn how AI works before opening your mouth.

*Edit. Also, this fear of AI magically doing unethical things is the one thing China and USA agrees on.

Copying software copies, therefore evil. Did I dumb it down for you?

Which is exactly what you'd expect if they ran AI to ask questions? Topics and controversies are going to pop up a lot. A bot would obviously re-ask about it as they see many people talking about it. It would be more surprising if it didn't ask about issues that were stirring controversies.

D'uh, this is literally what bitcoin was created for. An untraceable currency that can be used without any government control. It would be stranger if Russia didn't do this. It's proving the value of bitcoin.

This makes me question what it takes to be a super power. Between this and the leading cause of US bankruptcies being medical related, it's almost as if super powers can only be super powers if they don't give any of their citizens healthcare. It's as if working their citizens to death is the only way for them to maintain their hedgemony.

I'm saying this is the farthest thing from a solution. It's the opposite of a solution. People doing these investments are increasing the problem.
