Musk plan is to use his Grok xAI to replace IRS workers and those dealing with admin/paperwork stuff like clerical , medicare, medicaid, social security
Come on, a simple SQL “group by” can generate that table.
You can’t scam billions of dollars in funding with “group by” command.
The tech bro mentality has been completely assimilated with the AI hype. The EA rationalist nuts have taken over. But their longtermism and anarcho capitalism is just a thin veil for Western colonialism and slavery.
Here are serial murders conducted by the AI cult that was covered up until recently. But they were common knowledge around SF.

The key difference was that the Transcontinental railroad was built by Chinese indentured servants.
It might be me, but Trump seems a little paranoid of Boeing's craftsmanship.

American company Boom Aero claims to have created a plane that can fly at supersonic speeds without a sonic boom -- the issue that caused previous supersonic planes to fail. If this succeeds, it could make China's future aerospace projects like the C929 or C939 obselete by the time they go into service.
Does China have any companies working towards supersonic passenger airline flight?

My understanding is that Yunxing is an experimental aircraft much farther from commercial viability, whereas XB-1 is a technology demonstrator that could become viable and enter service in the 2030s. So you would have a gap where the Boom Aero Overture is in service and XB-1 is not yet usable (who knows if it is even being developed towards large scale commercial aviation, the reports seems fuzzy on this). Meanwhile Comac will have poured decades of efforts in the C929 which would be outclassed. There is sort of an analogy here with the Long March 9, which China originally spent a lot of effort making as an expendable rocket, meanwhile they realized at a late stage that the SpaceX Starship design was the way to go.
In my view, both supersonics and hypersonics provide an opportunity for China to catch up to competitors in commercial aviation more quickly by leapfrogging 20th century/early 21st century established technologies. But it needs to have efforts at each stage of ambition (established: subsonic, reach: supersonic, and experimental: hypersonic). China has the subsonic and hypersonic projects, but I don't see a supersonic one yet.

Man, have heard so many times about all sorts of some new wonder tech outclassing trillion-level industries. Still waiting
SpaceX starship example is merely 1 out of thousands that (seems to) succeeds.
Until then, I am more of a pessimistic than optimistic. Economies of scale, established methods of operation, conservative mindset, geopolitics, and all that, will ensure that COMAC operation will (hopefully) have explosive growth and revenue/profit
