But which country will be the first to bring Skynet online?

Extremely impressive website with lots of fascinating examples. I assume the website was generated by the real-human-brain algorithm with the given task of "maximum impress site visitor". This will change everything!

I ran into it on some Reddit stream and thought it was funny as he claims AGI and he is everywhere asking/pleading for buyers. In the Netherlands we had Sloot[0] who claimed a similar impossible feat in another field. Well Sloot was actually claiming something 'more impossible'; I do think strong AI will happen but we are far off while Sloot claimed something impossible (Kolmogorov complexity is a good book about that). Sloot was believed by many and invested in. Also by people who should know better.

DoD's brought several of them online already.

Normally I would say China, because it has a strong incentive to create an automated system that censors everything the leadership wants, and that manages "citizen scores", and spies on everyone at all times.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. intelligence agencies want to do that just as much to Americans and the whole planet, but do it in secret.

Yes. The heavy lifting when it comes to spying on the US is already being done. Applying data analysis would be relatively trivial at this point.

I think there are challenges in the analysis dept: many higher ups are too clueless to know what they want or interpret what they can get.
