Google would rather serve the national interests of China (via their new censoring search engine project), before they help defend their own country, the USA.
Unless you want our troops, intelligence, and other defense personnel operating inferior equipment against a technologically superior adversary, you should support what Amazon is doing here (even if you don’t like the rest of Amazon, or have some other gripe with them).
Amazon wants to serve the USA here, while all the other major tech companies (coincidentally, the more outspoken SJW ones) refuse. Let that sink in a bit before bashing Amazon and/or Bezos with some half baked “deep state” conspiracy.
Like Bezos or not, at the end of the day you need to wake up to the fact that China is rapidly catching up to the USA in tech, AI, etc. including new innovations, not just manufacturing. If we do not leverage our digital technical expertise in our defense systems, our own defenses will be rendered static, while China’s military tech advances rapidly. In such a scenario, we will be defeated by China’s ever increasingly sophisticated electronic (and perhaps someday, physical) attacks at some point in the future. Do you want that?
The Chinese steal and buy their tech, fuck it up and build cheap copies. Point out their technological advances that weren’t bought by western societies and maybe your fear mongering will hold water.

What’s that old Proverb? “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
Tread carefully with any mentality where you feel unbeatable, or you will quickly find yourself complacent, fat, and lazy.
I could list pages of actually groundbreaking AI researching coming from native Chinese scientists in Chinese universities (and that just my field; not to mention their work in Quantum entanglement, and other fields). Sure, the crap-to-quality ratio of published papers in China is shameful still, but that’s because they have so many people, and granted, have some cultural issues around copying and cheating they’re working out — but they are improving rapidly and you’d be an arrogant fool to ignore this.
interesting how us tech dudes just dominate you blue collar subhumans shamelessly and all you can do is bitch and repost on some shitty Reddit clone that goes down for days on end inexplicably ;)

What are you even trying to say? Come back when you’ve recovered from whatever form of brain damage you have (when you’re able to again form coherent sentences). You think you’re the only “tech dude” here?
