The US worries that models like ChatGPT could allow China to launch cyberattacks or even design biological weapons.
Reuters reported on Wednesday that the US government might escalate its trade war with China by blocking US companies from selling powerful proprietary AI software models to China, along with the data used to train those models. The question is: What company in its right mind would sell its model to begin with?
AI Can Do Anything Better Than You
The US and China have been battling over computer chips since the Trump administration, and the fervor has increased with the advent of generative AI. The US has piled export bans on state-of-the-art chips essential to provide the computing power to run generative AI software. Keegan McBride, an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security and a lecturer at the Oxford Internet Institute, said the US has fought to preserve its AI lead over China because it’s a rare area of technology where it’s had a head start. “The US has gotten trashed in other sorts of technological competitions with China, particularly if you think about things like 5G, and quantum [computing],” McBride said. “AI is a specific technology that is important, where [the US has] advantages pretty much across the board,” he added.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll repeat it: the concept of the energy transition is essentially a Western conceit. The U.S. and Western European countries are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on programs like the Inflation Reduction Act and the Energiewende to fund buildouts of solar, wind, batteries, and tutti-fruity-colored hydrogen, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the world will do the same. There is no evidence that China and India are going through an energy transition. Instead, the numbers show those two countries are building staggering amounts of new coal-fired capacity. That capacity is far greater than the amount of nuclear capacity they are building. This chart, which I first published last December, uses updated figures from the International Energy Agency and Global Energy Monitor.
The German Army is expected to join an exercise with Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force as early as next year, according to German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, against a backdrop of China’s military buildup in the Indo-Pacific region and territorial claims in the South China Sea.
In a recent written interview with Kyodo News, Pistorius revealed that the upcoming joint exercise, set to take place in Japan, will be the first of its kind between the two countries’ ground forces. The development comes as Germany has bolstered ties with Indo-Pacific partners and emphasized its mission to “maintain the rules-based international order.”
Pistorius pointed out that no signs indicate that China will abandon its territorial claims in the South China Sea, as Beijing continues to deploy coast guards, maritime militia as well as sea and air forces in the waters concerned to enforce its claims.
…”Our military experts tell us that Russia would theoretically be able to attack NATO territory in five to eight years. Regardless of whether Moscow would take this risk or not, we must be prepared for anything,” he said while emphasizing that the country’s goal is deterrence.
Russia has China, a dubious partner and vice versa. USA has Germany and Japan, both reliable partners, incapable of serious backstabbing. Notice the timeline—five to eight years—before the Western cabal attacks Russia or provokes war with China. No way to be sure of details, but these bits of information do reveal real alliances and against whom. Russia would gain nothing and lose everything if it attacked Europe. This is too obvious for words. Russia can only hope to stave off its annihilation. The question arises: does USA possess a superweapon? We know DARPA is many decades ahead of publicly known weapons development. My thoughtful guess is USA does possess a superweapon. There is a strong now-or-never feel about USA behavior domestically and internationally. From the POV of the Western comitatus, the stage has already been set. The pieces are in place. Encroachment will continue apace and escalate. ABN
Results:There were significant differences in Social Intelligence between psychologists and AI’s ChatGPT-4 and Bing. ChatGPT-4 exceeded 100% of all the psychologists, and Bing outperformed 50% of PhD holders and 90% of bachelor’s holders. The differences in SI between Google Bard and bachelor students were not significant, whereas the differences with PhDs were significant; Where 90% of PhD holders excel on Google Bird.
UPDATE: This video is well worth watching. Without saying as much, they detail cabal/comitatus moves at the top where the only rules are KOBK rules—Kill-Or-Be-Killed.
Top leaders in USA have nothing else in mind long-term but world domination. Russian and Chinese leaders both know this full-well and have no choice but to respond accordingly.
While China surely has long-term strategies for world domination itself, it is not today strong enough to pursue them boldly and thus must stay off center stage. Russia, rightly, sees an escalation of Western threats against it and has acted accordingly by threatening to use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine if certain lines are crossed.
These events cannot be understood without understanding that all three parties—Russia, China, and USA—are playing by KOBK rules, the only rules possible for them.All three are ruled by tight gangs led by strong leaders.
The gang or comitatus in control of USA is almost entirely secret and thus, a true cryptocracy. We do not know who is in control or where the center even is. When it comes to KOBK conflicts, none of what top leaders do has anything to do with their citizens’ well-being, except to avoid riling them too much.
It is important to understand what KOBK means and why it is a useful term: KOBK describes the forced ‘morality’ of top international combatants who today rule USA & the West, Russia, and China. World history at many stages and places has operated on KOBK rules. KOBK is nothing new but is distinct from all other political philosophizing, let alone moralizing. Kill-Or-Be-Killed situations are stark and morally unambiguous.
Top leaders cannot but fight by KOBK rules and nothing in the world today will change that. New technology or a much smarter global population through digital breeding may change everything but that is not going to happen in the immediate future. Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, Taiwan and more are all KOBK flashpoints. Conflicts entailing them must be understood as strategic moves toward global domination or to prevent rivals gaining it. ABN
UPDATE 2: Their whole discussion toward the end of the video on strategic ambiguity and national politics suffers from their not being aware of or not having the terminology to discuss these events in KOBK terms. See the situation for what it is: USA has boldly begun war in Ukraine and boldly expanded war in Israel/Gaza. These are KOBK moves strategically aimed at world domination, probably through controlling the Middle East by neutering Iran and further threatening Russia. ABN
UPDATE 3: The Western comitatus ostensibly led by USA is not being ‘stupid’ or ‘imbecilic’ as Mercouris says. They are doing KOBK with the goal of world domination. That goal entails complete and total subjugation of Russia, ‘killing’ it as it were. Russia absolutely knows this and is responding in kind—‘if you try to kill us we will kill you’. None of this is fundamentally about messy diplomatic wording or what a puppet like Macron says. These are not trial balloons or strategic mistakes. It’s pure KOBK. USA provoked the war and they are not going to back down. Each move brings them closer to subjugating Russia, then China. ABN
There is a rather remarkable indictment against congressman Henry Cuellar (D-Texas, CD-28) that everyone should read. You might remember that Cuellar was openly critical of the Biden border crisis in the latter half of 2021. Approximately a few weeks after Cuellar was openly and strongly criticizing Biden, FBI agents raided his home {BACKSTORY}.
At the time of the FBI raid (January 2022), everyone noted the visible connection between Cuellar’s criticism of Biden and the launch of the DOJ investigation against him. The timing was just too convenient.
Last Friday an indictment was unsealed. Representative Cuellar and his wife are each charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit bribery of a federal official and to have a public official act as an agent of a foreign principal, two counts of bribery of a federal official, two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, two counts of violating the ban on public officials acting as agents of a foreign principal, one count of conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering, and five counts of money laundering.
Interestingly, the charges and the activity date back to 2014 and continue over the next ten years culminating in the indictment a decade later.
What you realize when you read the indictment is exactly what we have talked about on these pages for well over a decade, the business end of American politics. Cuellar and his wife are a case study in how the average federal politician gets wealthy from selling their office.
All of the DC politicians participate in this type of influence selling. There are ZERO federal elected officials who do not participate in this process. And within that dynamic, we find the answer to how the Intelligence Community exists to control all of the DC political systems without any checks in their authority.
One of the primary reasons the Intelligence Community was so fast to join the effort to eliminate the threat Donald Trump, represented in 2016, was specifically due to the lack of corrupt activity (IC blackmail) that could be leveraged against him. Absent the ability to control the target, the IC must create leverage.
UPDATE: This episode is an illuminating glimpse into how the comitatus that controls USA operates. Be disloyal and get shafted if not suicided. Obviously, there exists no power structure strong enough to control or defy the comitatus. Who is in the comitatus? We don’t even know. We can guess and we can glimpse a little, but that’s all. We also know they are very good at mind-control. So most people are not even aware we are being ruled over by a secret group. I can’t think of anything that can stop them. ABN

Moscow has threatened retaliation for any attacks with British weapons
Moscow will retaliate against British targets in Ukraine or elsewhere if Kiev uses UK-provided missiles to strike Russian territory, the Foreign Ministry told London’s ambassador on Monday.
Ambassador Nigel Casey was summoned to the ministry following remarks by British Foreign Secretary David Cameron to Reuters that Ukraine has the right to use long-range missiles sent by the UK to strike deep inside Russia.
The Western cabal/ cryptocracy wants to do to Russia what it did to Ukraine–destroy and dismember it. This is KOBK morality/ game theory at work. The cryptocrats at the top, whoever they are, see world domination as their only rational course of action. They have already conquered Europe, USA, and the rest of the West and much of the world. Everything makes better sense when you understand this is their plan and all of their actions flow from it. ABN
