I mean... did you miss all the reporting on Salt Typhoon and Volt Typhoon?

So... what you're saying is that using a smartphone is equivalent to being in the airport security line. That is a disturbing point of view.
School's out for the rest of the day, kids. The teacher ran out of tokens.
AWS East feels left out.
How long do you figure before they get the Flock AI declared a police officer, therefore any damage to an AI-enabled device counts as assaulting an officer?
Sure, but there's no reason they couldn't be built into an enclosure that looks like other security cameras.
Alternatively, you just build a little box that has that extra stuff and plugs into a normal security camera, and you bury the box in the ground or put it inside a locked utility cabinet or something.
The next stage of this is going to be models of Flock cameras that look like other common security cameras, or a Flock module that plugs into existing security cameras and adds them to the network.
I mean making the machines to make chips and making a factory that uses said machines are two different things.
True.
There are already factories in China making DDR5 and DDR4 ram now days.
Are they actually fabricating the silicon, or just packaging it?
No slave labor needed. All you need is a modern, advanced, high skill, responsive industrial base which China has.
Sure, like the people working at Foxconn:

Not likely. It doesn't matter how much slave labor you throw at it, getting a new fabrication machine to the necessary precision to make modern chips requires a lot of time.
It is way too late to be starting a new chip fab for it to be relevant to the current market. If they are producing reliable chips 5 years from now that'll be fast.
All of their business decisions for the past few years have been centered around monetizing Reddit content as training data for machine learning models. Most likely this recent decision is an attempt to block data scraping.
