This article is an embarrassment, and with all due respect, entirely colored by his particular, clearly bitter experience. There's no argument DoD has challenges developing & implementing AI. But this type of defeatist & more importantly, just wrong rhetoric is useless, sorry. ht…

Most of the U.S. defense budget is wasted on expensive and outdated hardware, and China will soon easily be able to defeat us. https://www.ft.com/...

Despite the hype about China's AI prowess, the country is arguably well behind the U.S. Just look at how focused its top AI companies are on surveillance, and little else. via @tculpan https://www.bloomberg.com/...

There's a lot of brouhaha about China's AI prowess, and it is impressive. But it's also more narrow in scope than many acknowledge, unlike in the US. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
