I wasn't aware that they weren't.

Succeed in beating us to a Super AI. That will be bad. For us.

Just to play devil’s advocate here…

Recently I have noticed an uptick in single ack pilot wound hits as I’m flying adjacent to a fieldwith only 1 maybe 2 guns firing at me at high speeds.

I’ll be cruising along thinking nothing of the ack and WHAM pilot wound…

Now, this could just be a coincidence and an unlucky roll of the algorithm dice a few times but it has happened more recently than I remember it happening before.

Not saying anything has or has not changed, just an observation.

You can honestly see it turn out any other way?

After a good financial/economic collapse and boom..

Yeah.  We are energy rich.

We still have the best schools.  There is a reason the Chinese want to send their students here.  And not ALL of them are spies.

Our GDP is still significantly larger than theirs.

In any economic collapse, they will collapse first and we will recover faster.

If we lose the AI race, it is because we got stupid and just let them win.  It's ours to lose.

Western country companies are in it for monetary profit ultimately. China is in it for total dominance. Many, including me, believe Reagan drove the Soviet Union to over spend on defense in an effort to keep up which resulted in its demise. Hmmmmmmm.

That would be very unfortunate for America.

That would be like deciding to just stay an low income agricultural civilization rather than join the Industrial Revolution.

You'll regret it when your competitors come back with tanks and all you have is a pitch-fork.

Negative

This can be done without camping a cv with an airplane which gives its position away when in enemy radar

I have found it in many places.  Even parked in a plane in the woods.
