The Pentagon's first software chief RESIGNS in protest because the US has 'already lost' the AI war with China and is '20 years behind its technology'

The Pentagon's first ever chief software officer resigned last month in protest at the slow pace of technological transformation in the U.S. military, claiming the failure to respond to China winning the Artificial Intelligence battle is putting the U.S. at risk.

Nicolas Chaillan, 37, told the Financial Times after resigning: 'We have no competing fighting chance against China in 15 to 20 years.'

'Right now, it's already a done deal – it is already over in my opinion,' he added. 'Whether it takes a war or not is kind of anecdotal.'

Chaillan worked for three years on a Pentagon project aimed at boosting cyber security. He was the first chief software officer for the Air Force.

He said in his interview published Sunday that China has won over the U.S. and is on track towards global dominance due to its technological advances.

In the coming weeks, Chaillan said he will testify before Congress about the Chinese cyber threat to U.S. supremacy, including in classified briefings.

America's entire manufacturing base is sold to China.

Everything.

Democrats, Republicans, everyone in our government, media, entertainment sector, every factory.

Everything. Has been 100% sold out to China for at least the last 30 years.

Probably even 40 years.

Still are. Completely.

Although the Pfentagon is replete with opportunistic Woke wankers, I seriously doubt the veracity of the assertion.

In otherwords, we’re in need pf invasive A.I technology because China uses it on their population already and is doing the same thing to the world.

( ‘We have no competing fighting chance against China in 15 to 20 years.’ )

Not to worry. Only 9 years and almost 2 months until Global Warming takes out the whole Earth 🌎🌍.

On a serious note... Yikes 😳.

The days of the USA as a manufacturing superpower are over.

We willfully put our nads in the Chinese vice.

We need to bring back our Manufacturing base.

Our Computer base.

Our technological base.

EVERYTHING we buy. Everything.

All of it. Is MADE IN CHINA.

How much did he get paid off for, or blackmailed to pull this PR stunt for Chyna?

  1. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
  1. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
β€” From the list of 45 communist goals for the USA
Not β€œwe”. People who yanked it out from under us. Think the Uniparty and their fellow travelers in corporate leadership.

Repeating a lie (which it is, literally) won’t make it the truth, any more than repeating CCP propaganda makes it the truth. This software chief is evidently a CCP plant.

How many automobiles made in China are sold in the USA?

Now our railroads are a different story. The fools in Boston MA have indeed bought Chinese rolling stock for the MBTA.

Still doesn’t make it “everything”.

Automobiles, China is now the biggest manufacturer in the entire globe.

And is now exporting to America.

Aircraft, even Aircraft.

We have been completely sold out.

EVERYONE. Both parties. Every industry.

Nope. No Red-Chinese-made automobiles are being exported to the USA; don’t know who told you that. And that’s not for not trying; the left certainly wants to make it happen. Plenty of Korean and Japanese cars, though; nothing Red China makes can ever compete with those.

And for darn sure, no Red Chinese aircraft.

If you make stuff up, you destroy your credibility. Stick to facts instead of hand-waving hyperbole.

“I seriously doubt the veracity of the assertion”.

Only a fool underestimates the enemy.

Chaillan’s latest twat speak: “Politicians can’t Navigate Facebook much less understand AI and technology. People that are running this country are still living in a cold war mentality”

America needs to COMPETE with China.

Not cooperate.

Trump understood. He was the first American who did. The first, in either party.

Bring back Trump. Bring back US factories. Bring back US computer manufacturing. Bring back US tools, US machines, US drugs, US movies.

BRING IT BACK.

Now!!!
