That's old hat. Chinese AI has rendered it ... superfluous.

Kind of like Trump has Congress. And soon will the Courts.[1]

And, being an old fan of horror films, I /enjoy/ scary headlines. And
the various reactions to them, the more hysterical the better. For
each atrocity brings us closer to the inevitable denoument, whatever
that may be.

[1] As the judge in Watergate pointed out, the Federal Marshalls are
what the Court uses to enforce it edicts, and they are Federal
Employees. Which means the President can escape arrest by them by
simply telling them they are fired.
