(Zero Hedge)—Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has issued a grave warning, declaring that the United States is in a do-or-die AI race against China, with the specter of worldwide communist ideology looming if America falters. Khosla cautioned that failing to lead in AI could allow China’s authoritarian regime to impose its oppressive vision globally.
“There’s another kind of risk I worry about even more” Khosla told X interviewer Mario Nawfal. “China can use AI in cyber warfare or physical warfare on the battlefield, but the one I worry about even more is the economic power that AI will give a nation that moves fast and wins the race.”
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: OPENAI’S EARLIEST INVESTOR —THE REAL AI THREAT ISN’T WAR, IT’S INFLUENCE
Forget missiles. The most powerful weapon China could wield with AI is influence.@vkhosla:

“One you have economic power, I think it’s trivially easy by 2030 to imagine China providing free doctors to the whole planet, free tutors to every child on the planet, and using, essentially, free goods and services to spread their political philosophy.”
Khosla, who co-founded Sun Microsystems and later became one of OpenAI’s earliest backers through his venture capital firm Khosla Ventures, went a step further by China’s possession of powerful AI a potentially deadly threat to the world.
“The biggest risk is AI in Chinese hands—or any bad hands. The more powerful the entity, the bigger the risk,” the Indian-American technologist said. “If somebody used a nuclear weapon, it’s verifiable. AI, when used, may not be verifiable.”
President Donald Trump has made it a key priority for the U.S. to dominate AI.
In January, Trump signed an Executive Order titled “Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence,” aimed at solidifying U.S. dominance in AI by revoking what his administration deemed restrictive policies from President Joe Biden’s 2023 AI Executive Order. Trump’s order rescinded Biden’s framework, which emphasized oversight, risk mitigation, and equity, including requirements for companies to share safety test results with the government and address AI’s potential for discrimination.
Instead, Trump’s directive prioritizes deregulation, calling for AI systems free from “ideological bias or engineered social agendas” to boost innovation, economic competitiveness, and national security. It mandates a 180-day AI Action Plan, led by key advisors like AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks, to streamline policies and eliminate bureaucratic hurdles.
Trump has promoted a $500 billion joint venture between OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, which he described as “the largest AI infrastructure project in history.” The initiative aims to construct a nationwide network of data centers across the United States.
“China is a competitor and others are competitors. We want it to be in this country,” Trump said at the White House announcement, joined by OpenAI’s Sam Altman, SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son, and Oracle’s Larry Ellison.
“We have to get this stuff built,” the president added. “They have to produce a lot of electricity and we’ll make it possible for them to get that production done very easily at their own plants.”
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
F__K AI
&anyone promoting it!!!
Lazy LOSERS who can’t think for theirselves.
Sorry, but that’s just not the case.
I can write a website in a matter of a few hours or days.
I can get AI to write it in a matter of seconds.
If I have to get something to market that it dynamic and complex, that website might take me months to do.
Using AI reduces that time.
You’re thinking like a buggy whip maker. Think like a car driver.
So,
Like i said you’er lazy
& can’t think for yourself!
This investor thinks the CCP is dangerous and I agree wholeheartedly. But this investor thinks Oracle’s Larry Ellison is a good guy. I disagree vehemently. Ellison is tied at the hip with the CIA and he’s at least as dangerous as the chicoms.
In fact, the entire US regime has gone completely darkside a very long time ago. I don’t know how anyone could say with a straight face that the US is one bit better than communist China.
The problem with AI is that it encourages people to stop thinking and just believe the conclusions of those who programmed the AI computers with their own ideology.
Dealing with AI is like asking Fact Check or Snopes whether something is true or not. It will feed you a leftist lie based on the opinions of those who programmed it and if it disagrees with you it will tell you that you are wrong.
ABSOLUTLEY!!!
There is no end to Fake AI unless all programmers die!
China was winning when Xiden was in the whitehouse. Now it’s fooked.
AI
is nothing more then computer democracy!
It’s a form of the majority opinion, controls the narrative!
AMERICA is a REPUBLIC PEOPLE!
DEMOCRACY IS AN EVIL FORM OF COMMUNISM!!! AMEN
