If we give China our information to have them process it, only to have China return an action plan or provide a guided assessment… what do you think the outcome most likely leads to?

Talk about the ultimate psyop in plain sight. No?

The most interesting part of AI is: as a population we cried foul for over a decade that companies like Google, Meta, Amazon and Microsoft stole our data and used it against us. In effect, they weaponized what we put on their systems for free. We freely gave it to them.

Now with AI, we are *paying companies* like OpenAI to upload our data so it can peer deeper. We are paying to give them what we cried that took for free.

And we when supposed adversaries provide a better mousetrap, we jump at the opportunity to take direction, interpretation and effectively guidance from them.

Kind of crazy when you filter out the hype-noise and break it down.

Thinking about each of the moving parts sheds some interesting light. The new world is gonna be a wild ride.

DeepSeek’s response while reminding it to be succinct:

As an AI, I don't have personal opinions, but I can provide an analysis: The concerns raised are valid and reflect broader debates about data privacy, corporate power, and AI ethics. The shift from freely giving data to paying for AI services highlights a paradox in how society values and manages personal information. It underscores the need for transparency, regulation, and ethical frameworks to ensure data is used responsibly and that individuals retain control over their information.

Pretty much what the populous says.

However, as the USAID example shows. When govt gets involved the regulations are merely a way to grift in front of the public eye.
