[ExI] Nobe Prize winn​er leaves US to direct ​an AI lab in China

[Gregory Jones]

John the constitution loves you whether or not you love it back.

Your beef is with the body that passed the budget.  Only they can do that.

Regarding AI spending, Musk, Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos, etc didn't cut
spending.  We can realistically bet that AI will do the science at a far
lower cost.  It's part of the unimaginable wealth package.
