Watched the doco on China setting up a glass factory in Dayton Ohio and the incredible clash of cultures. They only briefly touched on Chinese corporate links to the military industrial communist party structure but it was scarey enough. Here is WoowayAI bgr.com/2019/08/22/oba…

The Chinese making auto glass doesn't scare anyone but AI built into Chicom products that penetrate every aspect of American life would make Facebook look like an amateur. technode.com/2019/08/21/chi…

Facebook is a terrible company when it comes to explaining how it harvests and sells your data. Imagine a militarized version of Facebook linked with predictive products that can tell you what you are going to think or say? And when they get it wrong. cnbc.com/2019/08/23/fac…

The doc is a little too mild in their treatment of Chinese vs American culture but when the military style culture and disdain for Americans shows through it is good. thewrap.com/american-facto…

Google wants to control everything about every photo you take. This means you are simply mapping your friends, location and existence like a unpaid droid and funneling trillions of salable data points to marketers and corporations. gadgets.ndtv.com/apps/news/goog…

So if Amazon doesn't care what it sells you and most of these shit knock off or low cost products are made in China. And Google can provide your location and activities in real time and Facebook can advertise and sell your location and opinions. wsj.com/articles/amazo…

How does this and other data get funneled into hostile elements via secondary "marketing" data and then disambiguated and used in political and opinion back against that population? That is what is happening now. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…
