If they were obviously democratic, like e.g. Denmark, then there would be need to them to lie about it in their name.

So it actually makes sense that non-democratic countries are more likely yo have a name claiming to be democratic.

AI learned from humans, and humans texts use the term CEO. Why wouldn’t the AI’s also use the term CEO?

It’s laughable to suggest they “elected a CEO and power structure”.

When/if we meet aliens, they will have evolution. And they will organize themselves in social power structures. Both are examples of basic emergent complexity properties of any such system.

So it is completely believable that AIs would form a power structure, with some form of CEO. That is just how reality works, such systems are more efficient so they happen.

Yes and no. The ability to “understand” code that makes AI capable of finding security bugs, is correlated with AI’s ability to write code. AI is just really good at code related tasks, and categorically banning all AI usage is shooting yourself in the foot.

But all the good things by American tech companies whom totally respect your privacy, like Google scrapping all spirit airlines communication, or Flock camera drones, is just fine.

A nationstate, whether a autocracy or even a real democracy, does have a genuine national security interest in preventing foreign spying. No matter how much that nationstate itself spies on its own citizens.

So the argument about domestic spying existing, to argue that Chinese spying does not matter, is quite a non sequitur.

oh no a 24 hour ban!

So they didn’t do the worst censorship they could possibly do. But it is still censorship.
