do this and that, make your dishes, run a tank. General AI is something that can do just about anything in theory, but it's not totally clear yet whether we're ever going to reach that stage of AI that is so all powerful. What I think victory looks like, if it is possible to reach that stage, victory will be whoever hits general AI. And if China is able to reach that stage before the United States
it would be very alarming because it would mean that there would be an all-powerful intelligent AI that can hack systems, that can wage cyber warfare, that can maneuver around an American telecommunications infrastructure, that can take control of missiles. Now, I don't mean to sound like it's the movie Terminator or something, or the robots are going to come alive.
