Yeah, I've suspected since last spring that China's interest in this stuff (aside from the sheer appeal of getting to pants the entire US tech sector in the Great International Waggling Contest) has as much to do with its utility for mass generation of "truthy"-looking dis- information as anything. Still, it's hilarious timing to hear about this as Oracle is in the process of ritually sacrificing itself on the altar of Your New Chatbot God and the money men are starting to make uncomfortable noises about how maybe they *don't* want to funnel endless billions of dollars into something that doesn't make any real money forever. Great timing, guys; welcome to the Popping Party, glad you could join us.
