This conflict has inescapably taken place in the context of US-China competition over AI, as leaders in both countries are well known to pursue AI acceleration for applications like autonomous low-flying nuclear cruise missiles (e.g. in contingencies where military GPS networks fail), economic growth faster than the US/China/rest of the world, and information warfare.
I think I could confidently bet against Chinese involvement, that seems quite reasonable. I can’t bet so confidently against US involvement; although I agree that it remains largely unclear, it’s also plausible that this situation has a usual suspect and we could have seen it coming. Either way, victory/conquest by ludicrously powerful orgs like Microsoft seem like the obvious default outcome.
