    Watch China become the scientific hub of the world and America succumb to an even worse brain drain.

    How long until the US knee caps science to the point that their engineers can’t even keep up with the weapons race? America is a joke and will start failing at even being a international strongman bully at some point lol. It’s already being treated like a paper tiger by China.

      Hard to say, but “in the next 6 weeks” is not out of the question, and “in the next 18 months” a distinct possibility even if AI crashes and burns. There’s wonderful rumors coming out of China’s electron beam lithography teams on multiple fronts, most notably that one of the labs may have a practical achromatic lens.
