Subject: Re: What selling out to China looks like
Dope1: The only shot we have in containing China in the Pacific is by using multiple autonomous weapons systems because in a game of numbers, they have more.

Quoting your linked article:

China is very "sensitive" about the concept of arms control, she noted, as it has "an arsenal much smaller than the United States".

Dope1: If Biden signs on to this, he's a Chinese agent.

Right. Biden, the guy who has in two consecutive years placed additional crippling curbs on the export to China of advanced semiconductors and the equipment used to make them, honing in further on Chinese artificial intelligence capabilities that have potential military applications and closing loopholes that Beijing could exploit to get what it needs from third countries. The updated export controls came almost exactly a year after the administration’s first restrictions on semiconductor sales to Chinese companies, which altered the trajectory of U.S.-China tech competition significantly enough that they have come to be known in trade policy circles simply as "October 7."

Again, quoting your linked article: Experts interviewed by the Post welcomed the inclusion of this issue in the list of priority agendas for the Biden and Xi meeting.

"It is essential to keep a human in the loop in nuclear command and control given some of the problems we've seen so far with AI," said Bonnie Glaser, managing director of the German Marshall Fund of the United States.

Oriana Skylar Mastro, affiliated with Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, said that as militaries increasingly integrate AI, one of the initial agreements between the parties should be to avoid automating nuclear command and control systems.


Didn't you understand WarGames, McKittrick, err, Dope1?
