Are there Labor Unions in Communist China? I’d think the ultimate Chicom negotiation tool is the barrel of a gun.

That would make for an interesting syfy story. AI becoming greedy and dishonest, skimming money and material from projects for its own purposes.

China teaches its children math & science. America is teaching its children wokeness & perversion (hence ~40% will be homo or bi).

No contest.

A quick search shows there is no new news on the dam. Survived high waters 2 years ago and is putting out the most electricity now since it began.

I did see a headline saying China wants to build a dam three times larger in electrical capacity in Tibet. It sounds like the Chinese are thinking about it with no details yet. The article did say that it would severely impact India.

“...through every step of the process the project eliminates human workers as they go fully robotic.”

Five million androids carrying wicker baskets of dirt?

Chinese dams are effectively destroying the environment of much of SE Asia (the Mekong)

The Aswan Dam has done horrible damage to the lower Nile’s ability to feed Egypt.

All in the name of “green” renewable energy.

to turn a dam site

That dam site is likely a damn sight bigger than the last dam site that was ever constructed with a 3D printer.

“ drama that it is letting go has been unfounded.”

That’s good to hear. After the controversy building it, one would hope it would hold up.

Does it 3D print the rebar?
