This would be well and good except that it's going to be used for making war even more ruthlessly efficient... and I don't mean China, probably not as a first strike, anyway. :manhattan:
Yeah, it's a sad state of affairs we're currently in, but I can see this being easily transferable to cargo ships at least and I imagine there would be applications in infrastructure projects with more tweaking too.
Holy shit not a decade ago that'd be an event in some sci-fi. It'll be cool to see how China integrates AI into this kind of production, as opposed to capitalists in the Global North using it as a means to squeeze the existing human workforce.
Yh I don't know to what extent this is bad, given that, whether we like it or not, the US is still here. Like is is it preferable or not for China to be as militarily advanced as possible given the threat of the US? Does this make direct military conflict more or less likely? Will it incentivize the US state, in particular hawkish officials, the deep-state and elements of the military-industrial complex to push for more and earlier provocation (thinking better now than later, given evidence of the US's secular decline)?

Good news: China has plans to 3D print a dam using AI-assisted robots so this kind of tech definitely isn't only being used for military applications.
