    Can't let the Chinese get ahead on that one, that is definitely one the US wants to do first/best.

    Although they aren't interested if it can only target the Uyghur; perhaps with a bit of retraining...

    "These transactions not only help finance the development of technology that is directly contrary to US national interests, but also risk transferring critical know-how and expertise from the US to the PRC,"

    Something Coming your Way Real Soon to Rock the Capitalist Free Market System to ITs AI Foundations

    What will disengaged and politically incorrect and inept corrupted platforms and competing compromised nation state actors be effectively able to do, or be suddenly desperately enabled to try to do, whenever an experimental flood of alien aid and BRIC type foreign fiat currency is deposited and transferred for safekeeping and spending SWIFTly into the bank account of a Convivial Co-Operative/Otherworldly Systems Administration/Virtual Machine headquartered in the West being graciously and gratefully generously rewarded for services rendered to their advantage and greatly appreciated for their ability/utility/facility to supply an almighty overwhelming exclusive executive future command and control with novel projects to remotely program and practically populate/virtually mentor and audio-visually monitor?

    Or do you think, or are you to be led to believe, such is most unlikely seeing as how it be so globally disruptive and simply problematical ..... although one does have to honestly admit such is not impossible and is a Novel and Noble Enabling ACTivity [ACTive Cyber Treat] surprising easy to do for that and those minded to do it with the unlimited support of IT and AI freely available for the greater benefit of all ‽ .

    And yes, that is where everything currently is at .... and patiently awaiting your considered opinion and global peer review alike in order to identify for removal that which is not to like in Live Operational Virtual Environments ..... New More Orderly World Orders ..... NEUKlearer HyperRadioProACTive Augmented Realities.

    And should that be considered and touted as an existential threat for/to humanity are you then surely bound to dutifully deal with it .... rather than ignoring it and hoping it goes away for it is certainly here to stay.

    The current times with present places and virtual spaces have fundamentally been changed from those of the recent and ancient and analogue past and nothing is going back to way things were, and how they used to be run and commanded and controlled.

    Do you want to deny the universally obvious and argue against a better existence reprogramming the future ....... for that is what you would be up against and confronting and having to do deals with?
