They have attacked on their own before. there was some noise recently that they were sending PLA regulars into disputed territory looking as civilians to call them settlers, if that is blow up now, this is just an excuse to do what they were planning on doing anyway.

China and India have traded rounds over contested teratory for years. I wrote about it in '06/'07. It is part of one of my WWIII discussions.

I looked into this a bit more, and it turns out there is justification to your concerns about how AI handles art. Here is my commitment to you, from now on (and I am not making changes to anything I have posted and scheduled) I will look for and use CC or Public Domain Artwork. Does that help?

As for journalists on Substack, they often focus on specific topics and make money directly from their content. Artists might explore similar paths to ensure they’re valued while dealing with all these changes and environmental issues. Let’s keep the conversation going!

I totally get where you're coming from! It’s tough seeing AI art using the work of real artists like you. It feels unfair, especially since creativity deserves respect. Maybe we need to chat more about how to protect our rights and find a balance with tech.
