EVEN IF THE WEST QUITS,
CHINA WON’T 💎

There is something slightly surreal about people demanding that we simply stop AI. Stop developing it. Stop using it. Stop feeding it. Shut the whole bloody thing down.

Okay.

BUT THERE IS ONE SMALL PROBLEM.

CHINA.

Even if the entire Western world woke up tomorrow morning, deleted ChatGPT, unplugged every data centre and solemnly promised never to train another AI model, China would not say:

“WELL, FAIR PLAY. WE’LL STOP TOO.”

Nor would India, South Korea, Japan, the Gulf states or anybody else with serious technological ambitions. AI is no longer merely a clever consumer product. It is becoming infrastructure, scientific capability, economic power and military capability. And once that happens, countries do not voluntarily leave the field while their competitors keep playing.

ESPECIALLY AMERICA.

Can anyone seriously imagine the United States government announcing: “China may become the world’s dominant AI power. We have decided we’re comfortable with that.”

I NEARLY HURT MYSELF TYPING THAT LAST BIT LOL.

America is not going to sit quietly and watch China become dominant in strategically important technology. And China is already extremely good at things the West once assumed it would always dominate: manufacturing, batteries, solar, electric vehicles, infrastructure, robotics, transport and increasingly sophisticated technology.

AND SO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISN’T GOING TO GO AWAY.

That does not mean every use of AI is good. It does not mean corporations should be trusted. It does not mean there should not be regulation, boundaries, transparency or serious arguments about environmental costs, copyright, employment, surveillance and power.

THOSE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS WORTH HAVING.

But “STOPPING AI” is not a realistic plan. That horse has not merely bolted. China is building a faster horse.

Iranian hackers shut down UK power plant last month in an unprecedented cyber attack. The attack, believed to be the most successful cyber attack of its kind, took place at the same time as a series of attacks on US water infrastructure, which affected 12 states.

#Trump threatens to #bomb #US #ally #Oman as #Iran agreement expires

Trump threatened today to attack Oman if it interferes with US efforts in the #StraitOfHormuz, as the conflict with Iran continues & a 2-month window for peace talks expires without a path to end the war.

“If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them,” Trump said vulgarly in an interview with FauxNews.

There’s a reason why #Israel has done little to rein in settler violence. It’s not just #Netanyahu.

…[Israeli settlers in the #WestBank] are the tip of the spear for a much larger movement, supported by successive Israeli governments & supercharged under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that is aimed at cementing Israeli rule over the territory & preventing the establishment of a #PalestinianState.

#CIA had ‘low confidence’ in #Iran threat before #Trump switched planes in Turkey

#US #intelligence officials were skeptical of an Iranian assassination threat against Trump that was relayed by #Israel & prompted an extraordinary clandestine maneuver that saw him secretly fly out of Turkey in an alternate military aircraft, current & former US officials familiar with the intelligence said.

What i find very worrying is the very real chance that de AfD may be winning the next elections in Germany. It would be the comeback of fascism and nazism. There are no other words to describe it. It would severely weaken the EU at a minimum, destabilize europe. I know some state actors who would consider that a good outcome and will do everything to make that happen.

ABOLISH THE INCOME TAX NOW!

This is the most important letter I have ever penned to a public official. My message is that the income tax on worker wages is a insidious form of slavery that must be abolished. This is not a Democrat issue or a Republican issue. This is an issue of real justice for a nation of impoverished workers being taxed with a gratuitous and unnecessary income tax that has steadily lowered personal wealth and autonomy for several generations.

ABOLISH THE INCOME TAX NOW!

ABOLISH: verb; To do away with; put an end to; annul; to eradicate; to destroy completely; make void.

Notice that ABOLISH does not mean:

cut ; lessen ; lower.

It means to completely get rid of, en toto, entirely, as in ABOLISH SLAVERY.

So give no place to word games, Honorable Sir or Madame. Just. ABOLISH. INCOME. TAX. NOW.

Recently President Trump has vowed to push for the abolition of the income tax on American worker wages and replace the revenue streams with a tariff system. I require you get behind Mr. Trump, despite his warts and pimples and dimples and whatever character issues or political peeves and quibbles you might have with him--and move full steam ahead to draft, approve, legislate, and enter into law a bill abolishing the federal personal income tax on all domestic wages for all United States Citizens.

The income tax is a relic of feudal barbarism and imperialist war-making barbarism. It enriches a internationalist political class which is able to suck grants and subsidies from its piggly teat while disbursing tiny squirts and crumbs to the American people and their infrastructure. As an American, I have had enough of this thievery of my wages for funding every grimy and useless rent seeker under the sun.

Millions of Americans don't want to hear whiny excuses about how the Federal Government can't function without the Federal Income Tax. That is nonsense. America functioned for several generations during her greatest period of industrial and economic growth and power without an income tax. Then when the World Wars were ramping up we were saddled with this 'war tax' on our income to fund the war. Since then the taxes have kept us impoverished while making the war machine and grifter classes very rich. Workers' standard of living has steadily declined since the income tax was introduced and illegally retained after the World War about a hundred years ago.

I require that you push for, and vote yes on a COMPLETE AND TOTAL ABOLITION of the income tax for all employee wages, and ensure no new taxes are ever again levied on employee wages. If FedGov can print trillions of dollars to fund overseas adventures and endless wars, then FedGov doesn't need to be taxing us for anything. FedGov already taxes us through inflation anyway. Why the hell should any of us have to fill out a return? Maybe FedGov should file a return to us each year to show how much of our labor inflation has stolen from us.

If you don't work strenuously toward abolishing the federal income tax I will vote for whoever decides to run against you. If the federal income tax is abolished, I will vote for your re-election.

ABOLISH INCOME TAX NOW!

Very truly yours in freedom and liberation from tax serfdom,

John Doe American
