Chonese cars have bren sold in the US since 2015.

More, all the time.

[Salvavida]

We had this discussion (it wasn’t a debate- it is what it is) back in 2017 in the Pentagon. DoD data scientists are the lowest paid in the industry and there was/is no way to level that out.

The blame is on many: Military leadership for not making the case, and Congress as the chief culprit because they have oversight and control the money.

[Olog-hai]

That says Chinese-assembled, not made. And no, that is not splitting hairs. Rather unpopular models too, with wheels falling off Volvo XC60s and other big problems.

[GregH]

AI is based on data.

China is way ahead because it used the data of its vast population to train the models and learn more. It has a army of trained stem scientists who listen to the science and nothing else.

Where as in the USA, the experts are trying to put their own bias in the models - a bit of woke theory to ensure the models don’t turn racist etc and be more politically correct
and corrupting the AI process.

[Olog-hai]

I’ve always agreed with that sentiment, but not with competing against Red China, who would not have a competitive edge if not for the left in the USA selling us out.

Again, being repetitive while preaching to the choir is not effective.

Red China needs to be crushed, not competed against. No communist state competes fairly.

[Olog-hai]

Definitely an apparatchik propagandist, this Chaillan.

[caww]

China also has an army of Spies embedded throughout the world where anything they want to know , being researched or devised, they know about it before it becomes public knowledge.

China’s been stealing information for decades....and they will continue doing so...and that includes human capital.

[cba123]

You are splitting hairs, and America needs to BRING BACK US MANUFACTURING.

All of it.

Bring back American manufacturing.

[Olog-hai]

More repetitiveness. Do you understand terms like “preaching to the choir”? I’ll explain if you don’t.

Also, why do you never say “the United States of America”? Just like you never say “Red China”.

I did not split hairs. You said Red China sold cars in the USA implying that it was their own brands fully manufactured there, not that US and Swedish manufacturers sold cars assembled in Red China in the USA and in minuscule numbers comparatively speaking. (On paper, Zhejiang Geely “owns” Volvo Cars, but the headquarters is still in Sweden; don’t be surprised if Geely eventually gets bought back out.)

[Dapper 26]

I agree. This guy must have grown up in the “trophy for all” culture. We need red blooded Americans who won’t quit at the first sign of defeat. The Chinese have big problems, ie. their largest steel manufacturer has gone bankrupt, their real estate market - 30% of their economy - is in big trouble. Their dams are breaking and new skyscraper buildings are falling apart, etc, etc. There are VAST opportunities for us out there and have no time for bellyaching creampuffs.

[cba123]

Huh?

I am American, you doofus.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

For you youngsters, Chinese scientists in the 1950 were often caught with suitcases full of Top Secret documents from projects they were working on. Many were thought to be anti-communist refugees from the Mainland or had fled to Taiwan.

Some, however, either were secretly communists, sympathetic to the New communist government in Peking, or threatened with some kind of harm, most likely to their families who remained in Red China.

Don’t know how much has been written on this, or even if there were serious congressional hearings in the 50’s, but it is something that needs to be openly discussed Now!

[nathanbedford]

Many of us posted tirelessly before the election that the loss of Donald Trump would ensure that the United States would not survive the existential threat posed by China.

The end will come not by invasion as the photos here demonstrate might be in the future for Taiwan, but for the United States it will come when the left simply surrenders.

Of all the institutions in the United States I can think of not one, repeat, not one, that we can trust. When the threat from China looms, when the profit for selling out becomes even greater than it is today, the left will simply open the gates and invite the barbarians through.

As we are eclipsed in artificial intelligence and in every stem endeavor, so will our system appear so inferior to the Chinese, and so subordinated to the Chinese, that their victory will be presented to us by our elites as inevitable.

All the claptrap that the left is imposing upon us today will be marshaled to rationalize the surrender. We will not have access to the organs of communication, our election system will be thoroughly corrupted, our economy will be in shambles, our governing system will be hopelessly corrupt and/or military so debilitated that surrendering to the Chinese will seem like reform.

[Captain Rhino]

Politicians can’t do a lot of things. They hire expertise in areas that need attention, including IT. And they hire senior experts to supervise and provide leadership to the junior experts.

The subject of this article quit because he only had a mere 15-20 YEARS left counteract the Chinese drive to be dominant. I’m glad he quit and let the public what a pathetic leader he is. Better he quit now so that persons who can actually organize and achieve victory in the next 15 to 20 years can get started.

[Drew68]

I seriously doubt the veracity of the assertion.

I don't at all. Ever tried using Navy/Marine Corps Internet (NMCI)? It's like taking a time machine back to 1995.

People would be shocked at how outdated and poorly functioning information technology systems are in today's U.S. military.

[PIF]

Nicky, the simpering fool

[rightwingcrazy]

I prefer 100% organic intelligence. Nothing artificial added. It’s better for a happier life, and long term health.

[MagnoliaB]

That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking too. His reason for quitting sounds like male bovine feces. Whatever the real reason must be very lucrative for him if he doesn’t care that he’s leaving the pentagon like a pathetic loser and quitter. No one likes a loser.
