🇨🇳🇺🇸 Absolutely extraordinary paper by RAND, the main think tank of the US military-industrial complex, and another key sign that the U.S. deep state - despite all the chaos and noise - is shifting away from deterring China, towards accepting coexistence (it's literally what they recommend in the paper).
These are the 3 most important recommendations in the paper:

A barrister has been accused by a judge of using “entirely fictitious” cases generated by artificial intelligence (AI) to support an asylum claim by migrants.
Chowdhury Rahman was criticised by the judge who said there was “overwhelming” evidence that he had used software like ChatGPT to prepare his legal research.
When the immigration barrister presented his submissions, he baffled the judge by citing cases that were “entirely fictitious”, “non-existent” or “wholly irrelevant”.
Mr Rahman was found not only to have used AI to prepare his work, but “failed thereafter to undertake any proper checks on the accuracy”, the tribunal was told.
Upper tribunal judge Mark Blundell said Mr Rahman tried to “hide” that he had used AI and “wasted” the tribunal’s time. He said he was now considering reporting Mr Rahman to the Bar Standards Board.
