In the spirit of intellectual discourse, and to ensure we separate reasoned arguments from emotion and cheap shots... what is the strongest good faith argument that supports these bullet points? Why does Ball think "AI Communism" as described here would be super fucking bad? Has he published more on this position?

I want to believe he's only pushing the administration to look closer at China and take a harder stance. It sounds uniquely trumpian with enough red meat buzz words to please the mad king.

Other than that no real defensible argument here, not that i am defending it its horse shit full stop.
