So, what would be wrong with an actor or actress selling their scanned image WITH contractual obligations to be PAID whenever the image was used in a film or when used as source to generate a new digital actor?

Wouldn't continuing pay and residuals help make the argument here?

Last year I was predicting 5-10 years until China could make chips. It took them 1. The USA is fucked, especially with that racist, demented asshole in charge.

From the fine summary:

The prototype, completed in early 2025 by former ASML engineers who reverse-engineered the Dutch company's machines, is operational and generating EUV light, though it has not yet produced working chips. The effort is part of a six-year secret government initiative

This is a prototype, not a complete product. It's the result of a 6-year program, not 1. They have not produced any working chips. Your prediction was bad and your reading comprehension is bad and you should feel bad.

The USA is fucked, especially with that racist, demented asshole in charge.

Yes, but not because China has caught up technologically, because they have not done so and are still years to decades away. The USA is waning but the west is not. It's a lot easier to find out what was done than how to do it with espionage.

(Why espionage? Compare "reverse-engineered" to "engineered".)
