Beijing’s foreign ministry said on Saturday (Sep 26) it “attaches importance” to US President Donald Trump’s adoption of the term “super intelligence”.

    Having your military rely on AI is such a stupid fucking move. The datacenters are an easy target. Huge unmovable warehouses that need a fuckton of resources to function and if you manage to slightly damage one of the resources it is basically crippled.

    So why would china not love such a descision?

    That’s really handy! Now whenever you hear someone speak of “super intelligence”, you’ll know immediately they are either:

    • A fascist or communist dictator
    • A sycophant
    • A tech bro trying to curry favors
    • A MAGA moron

    Basically everybody you never want to associate with.

      • A capitalist

      I’d trust a “communist dictator” that’s executed 16 billionaires and counting more than any billionaire any day.

      Yeah, the good old term Clanker isn’t cutting it anymore. We’re now homing in on the even more evil dimension to it. Coincidentally, also gets rid of some of my worries with the investment bubble. I mean nothing is too expensive once we’re aiming for a fascist dictatorship?

    If I could translate this from communism with Chinese characteristics to English: attaching importance roughly corresponds to lol.

    What concern of the Chinese is it what anybody calls this stuff in English? Much less so what official US government documents call it. This is granting Trump a dumb headline that didn’t cost them anything and Xi may have actually got something from 47 during the summit that makes them entertain this bullshit.

        We’ve mostly done that already. Im not sure whats holding Xi back at this point. From where i sit he could have it if he wanted it. No one to really stop him. It might just be a good propaganda and not a military objective. After watching the war with Iran and the financial troubles in the bond market, china has never looked stronger and more intimidating.

        I think once that happens we’ll see 2 things.

        • an overwhelming infrastructure attack against the US.
        • China takes Taiwan.

      If I know anything about China; I know they take military action as a last resort. Say what you will of China, but they don’t have a massive oligarch class that is waiting for the next war to profit from.

      All they do is “trade max” into everything. There is LESS of a reason for China to look towards military action towards to Taiwan right now. If they were going to do that then there was no better time than literally the last several months with the US stuck in Iran.

      I can only see them pushing to military action if the US did something extremely aggressive directly towards them.

      The US is falling the fuck off. No one wants to be a US ally right now. Canadians fucking hate the US right now. China knows all it has to do is wait until the US inevitably pisses off Taiwan with its own selfish interests. And a natural normalization between them will occur. China is betting on Taiwanese citizens seeing as being “a part of China” again as more beneficial than not. Whatever “a part of China” ends up meaning.

      When western economies fail as their dependence on the US sucks them dry… Taiwan will look at China as a better option if it remains as resistant as it has.
