I don’t think China cared about Taiwan, apart from posturing, until ChatGPT happened and the US started restricting ML hardware sales. Then the US started pressuring ASML. My, unpopular, opinion is that ML will not be successfully applied by the US military, because the culture of US tech is to exploit the customer, in this case the Pentagon. I expect the Chinese will be far more organized and thoughtful about integrating ML into a broad warfare strategy that isn’t just expensive razzle-dazzle. That’s why I’m super curious as to when and if the current administration will touch military spending and organization.
