it kinda seems like they're moving toward strategic ambiguity where the prc isn't actually certain if the US will defend Taiwan or not lol

Strategic ambiguity regarding Taiwan has been the intention of the US for a long time, and the reason a lot of people are freaking out about Biden's remarks is because he just casually threw it out the window in a senior moment because a child in the audience smiled at him or something

But, in fairness, PRC "America watchers" actually follow our media and therefore understand that you really can't take something an American president says out loud as having an impact on foreign policy, so at the end of the day it's probably a wash

(unlike American "china watchers" who half the time study Cantonese or something stupid like wade Giles romanization, if they study Chinese at all, and therefore really don't follow Chinese media or government statements at all)

It's gonna be running the automated trucks and bulldozers that build each layer:

quote:

At Yangqu, a central AI system will be used to oversee a massive automated assembly line that starts with a fleet of unmanned trucks used to transport construction materials to parts of the worksite, per the scientists.

Once the materials arrive, unmanned bulldozers and pavers will turn them into a layer of the dam, and then rollers equipped with sensors will help to press each layer so that they become firm and durable, they said.

Per the paper, when a layer is complete, the robots will send information about the state of construction back to the AI system.

However, the mining of the construction material will still have to be done manually, the researchers noted.

The AI system and its army of robots will help eliminate human error, such as when roller operators don't keep to a straight line or when truck drivers deliver materials to the wrong spot, said lead author Liu Tianyun of Tsinghua University, according to SCMP.

That would make a cool timelapse video

A lot of people were wrapped up but some didn't even have to go in before they promised, I didn't see much before I got sent back to the hotel and a mostly unrelated dream began where I couldn't find my suitcase

I try to look around that AI robot dam project because I want to see what the machines look like.

From the articles I found, the excavators just look like normal CAT machines.


This is for the Yangqu dam
This is for the last dam test

Americans tend to be confused and somewhat offended when people living in their vassal states act like people living in their vassal states rather than pretending to be independent, in my experience.
