In Soviet America, Open Source is the enemy of the ‘people’!


It looks like the only way China could achieve the same level of trust from the Japanese people is to +2 to the number of nukes it wishes to procure for strategic deterrence.

That was essentially the economic model the West was going for before they decided to decouple with China. The West did not want China to create their own technology standard because then Western corporations would not be making money off of licensing fees. They can ban Chinese AI all they want because China was giving it away for free. What they fear is the world that won't be using theirs.


Making AI free was very interesting.

It could have been a deliberate plan. Or just some Cantonese guy was that idealistic. I would think it is the latter, and that changed everything. That decision probably changed the world.

What it also did change, was this nature of this China and United States competition.

Remember the Huawei 5G versus the US government war? No one in the Western media talks about that anymore, because we know who got their asses handed to them. Then we now got Huawei leading the charge to go beyond Moore's Law with Tua Scaling! Suck on that, Ren Zhenfei probably saying.

The point about Huawei, was that the Americans were behind, in 5G, an industry of the future.

What are the other industries of the future? There is a list, and the Americans are behind the Chinese in most of them. The most important ones. Except for two.

Except for semiconductors and artificial intelligence.

With the AI being free, the Americans cannot win, and cannot be in the AI lead anymore.

This could be a devastating psychological blow.

They are behind in all the other important industries of the future, but they told themselves that the most important industry of the future was AI and they believed they had an insurmountable lead. Every single one of them believed that, in Silicone Valley, except maybe Jensen Huang.

So those Silicone Valley geeks, all crying to the US government begging for help, including staging false flags operations like that fake AI attack. Yeah, just trust me bro!

:D

British Airways has launched an investigation after all three pilots operating a flight from Hyderabad to London Heathrow reportedly fell ill with suspected food poisoning following an overnight stopover in the city. The incident involved British Airways flight BA276, which departed Hyderabad for London.

Initial reports suggest the three pilots had breakfast together at their hotel in Hyderabad before the flight. They also drank bottled water supplied by an external company.

When talking about food safty in india, evey redundancy is useless. People should know by now they have to bring all food into india for the period of stay.

And just like the case with Huawei, Chinese LLMs make it impossible for the US government to spy on people because nobody is using US's Spyware-as-a-Service.

Japan Ground Self-Defense Force intelligence unit suspected of investigating "patriotism" and other topics collected from thousands of Professors; possibly violating civilian control.​


It was revealed on the 22nd July, through interviews with former JGSDF veterans and related documents, that the "Local Intelligence Unit," the intelligence division of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force's Central Intelligence Unit (located in Asaka Garrison, Tokyo), is systematically investigating and collecting information on the thoughts and beliefs of Japanese citizens, including vario university professors and NPO representatives, regarding "patriotism" and "sentiments towards the Japan Self Defense Forces." The unit's mission was set to be originally overseas intelligence gathering is being carried out on domestic intelligence gathering activities without clear legal basis, and the information collected may amount to thousands of people. The details of the activities are said to be unknown to politicians and bureaucrats, including the Minister of Defense, raising concerns that it may be a violation of civilian control. The Local Intelligence Unit was established in 2007 with the purpose of operating overseas, based on the lessons learned from the lack of local information during the JSDF's deployment to Iraq from 2003. It is based at Asaka Garrison and, according to sources, has about 50 to 60 members. However, in reality, the majority of the team members are collecting personal information of citizens within the country.

According to documents obtained by the Kumamoto Nichinichi Shimbun, the names and backgrounds of the university professors and others surveyed, as well as their "sentiments toward Japan," "sentiments toward the Self-Defense Forces," and "thoughts and beliefs," were compiled in detail in a report called "Personal Basic Source Data", and it is believed that at least several thousand copies are stored and shared within the Asaka Garrison. One former member testified, "We did not obtain consent from the subjects. The purpose of the activities and the legal basis were never explained within the unit." The collected information delved into the inner thoughts of individuals. In the "patriotism" section of a report for a male representative of an NPO, specific actions were recorded, such as "arguing fiercely" when mistaken for a Chinese person overseas. Many of the subjects of the survey were experts well-versed in overseas affairs, and it appears that the local intelligence unit conducted ideological screening to determine whether these individuals were usable as sources of information. A male university professor who was the subject of the investigation told Kumamoto Nichinichi Shimbun in an interview, "I have been contacted by someone claiming to be a member of the Self-Defense Forces, but I never imagined that my personal information was being collected. I have absolutely no consent to the collection of my information."

The Ministry of Defense stated, "We are not aware of the collection of citizens' personal information that is the premise of the reporting. It will take time to verify the facts, but we intend to take some kind of action." Professor Sota Kimura, a scholar focusing on constitutional law in Tokyo Metropolitan University pointed out, "The purpose of using the collected information has not been specified, and there are doubts as to whether sensitive information is being managed appropriately. Investigating people's inner thoughts could lead to thought suppression. It is necessary to put control in place at the detection stage." (Yasushi Ueki, Satoshi Koyama, Maho Sakoda)
