How about he just gives them all extended leave. They're all now on paid vacation and can go home to their families.

I want to see the timeline where Steve Irwin was not only killed by a stingray, but by one falling from the sky. A man makes a career getting up close and personal with the most dangerous animals on Earth. Then he's finally done in when one falls right on top of him in an event completely unrelated to his film work.
Frankly, I am far, far less concerned about the Chinese government spying on me than I am the same about the US government. What's China really going to do with my data, maybe deny me a visa if I try to visit there? Maybe study urban commuting patterns to aim their nukes? Use that data to make more effective propaganda?
Compare that to the US government, my own government. That's a government I actually have to worry about seriously harming me. Unless I choose to physically get on a plane and fly to Beijing, China having my data is going to have very little impact on my life. In contrast, the US government might subject me to arrest, detention, persecution because I'm a member of a targeted demographic group, due to my political activities, etc.
I've considered this as well, but machines need not be conscious to replace human labor. Maybe there is some ineffable spark of human creativity that is necessary for coding that no machine can duplicate. That doesn't mean that eventually they can't have 100 AIs working on coding with one poorly paid human at the end of the line providing that ineffable spark for $12.50/hour. Even if some human input is always required, that doesn't solve the labor displacement issues if one person can now do the work of a hundred. The steam machine wasn't conscious, but it still killed John Henry.
If AI companies are telling the truth (HA!), then we're on the verge of automating nearly all human labor. At that point, any claim of meritocracy goes out the window completely. We no longer have a competition of people each trying to succeed by their own merits. The economic winners from now on are just those who happened to already have money at the time of the Singularity. Such a scenario doesn't even leave room to pretend that meritocracy still exists.
The solution? Nationalize the AI companies. From now on, any AIs must be publicly owned, and any of their output belongs to the public.
In other words, the moment you build the grand Communism engine, that's the time to actually implement Communism.

Fucking cowards. Can we ban conservative Christianity next?
We are all Hitler. There is only one soul. Reincarnation jumps not only through space, but through time. Your next life could be a Roman slave girl c. 100 C.E. And it's just one big endless loop of consciousness. As soon as the one soul has traversed the totality of lives of every conscious being that is, was, or ever will be...then it loops back on itself and starts anew!
Well add more holes to the belt, and I hope you're able to navigate insurance to get the big hole added!
Yeah, the people I know doing it are either just making it for themselves, or sharing with others at-cost. Though there are definitely some in the homebrew community experimenting with drugs that aren't typically used for HRT, like pioglitazone.
