I guess that's why Musk is so fixated on his sci-fi religious trope of making a "multi-planet species", in case he ruins this one...

Not exactly how I expected AI to kickoff the apocalypse.
They expected anything more from this moron? Hopefully not.
I didn't think he knows how to read or use a computer. So no.
We are literally a Black Mirror episode watched right now in some parallel universe. Probably with the viewers going "it's a little far fetched!"
Why is it such a stretch to understand that the same mastermind behind the hurricane predicting sharpie, is using AI to turn the entire world against us?
Normal Thursday in America.
How people can liaten to him talk and think he's smart is beyond me. In any other country, he would live under a bridge and yell at pigeons.
A sharpie for hurricanes, an LLM for trade policy. What a fucking world.
Shit, just said the same thing. This is why I should cruise the comments first.
No worries, happens to me all the time.
This is literally the plot of why Dune doesn't have thinking machines.
Warhammer too.
I found it very telling that HBO re-wrote the entire Butlerian jihad because the robots were evil, rather than the actual point where using machines to replace humans was wicked and evil
I always liked the suggestion that biggest problem wasn't actually the machines themselves, it was humans letting the machines think for them. We're seeing a lot of that happening now.
And the whole reason replacing humans with AI was determined to be evil was because ONE oligarch decided to offload more and more of his responsibilities to AI.
It made people's lives way worse until ultimately he gave AI military responsibility then everything went off the rails
I'm certain so-called AI was used...
I'm equally certain Mafia Don Mangolini hasn't the first clue how to make use of technology in any form (other than making a stupid tweet/post)...
This is another effort foisted upon us by Elonazi and/or his Department of Gratifying Elonazi children.
🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕
Why go through the effort to put 0 population Heard Island and McDonald Islands?
I'm fairly certain it's too "flood the zone with bullshit", straight out of the Steve Bannon playbook. It's so ridiculous that this is what we're wasting our time on. Instead of discussing all the other real insane things.
there is a wikipedia article. they are a 'territory'. they took a list of countries and territories, added basic trade data for each, and then they copy/pasted simple formulas down a couple of columns. the whole thing was probably concocted in notepad and excel in half an hour.
Giving them too much credit. They probably just had ChatGPT do everything.
Trump's people are stupid and lazy.
did you see the bit where the diaper-in-chief recognized Taiwan as a separate country?
This need to be said louder!
They are so fucking stupid.
"Make a list of every country that runs a trade deficit."
"Now apply that formula you suggested."
"Now write up a draft executive order that would make it all happen. Use some spelling mistakes so we can track leaks."
they probably prompted to list all territories and didn't go to the trouble of deleting unpopulated islands
They don't know enough about the world to know which ones to remove.

TBH, if AI runs the country like it's doing right now, we have little to fear from it being cleverer than us.
It doesn’t have to be cleverer to make us miserable and take away our freedom. That’s what Trump has shown us.
This is just AI turning on its creators to destroy them earlier than anticipated. Instead of creating terminators to physically kill them though they're just going to financially ruin them.
That would be so cool!
I knew it when I heard that countries with no exports were being teriffed.
#Exclude Russia
It’s official then: the president is an unnecessary role and can be outsourced to a computer. Too bad so sad bye Donald.
Honestly, so many companies want to start with getting rid of skilled labor and try using "AI" to write code and so on; I don't know why the board doesn't ask the C-suite to replace THEMSELVES with "AI" for an experiment and see how that goes instead...the cost savings would be immense and they would no longer have to deal with outsized egos, to boot.
Oh, why don't they do this, at least in my view? Oh, probably because all these people sit on each others' boards and they aren't about to show what a sham C-suite work is...
LLMs are already at the point where they could replace middle management in most places. Of course that's more of a reflection on how poor middle management is, not how good LLMs are.
And yeah the C-suite probably could be replaced too. Yeah the LLMs will hallucinate and make terrible decisions sometimes, but that's not different than what the C-suite is already.
Wanting to replace skilled labour with AI is proof of that. They don't know enough about what their employees do if they think an AI will work as a replacement. But if they can mange employees with an inaccurate understanding of what they do, then an AI with a inaccurate understanding of what employees could replace that manager.
United States of Gronk
I'd rather have Gronkowski than Trump for sure
The AM doesn't seem so bad now.
Honestly, if an AI was running the country without some bastard prompting it, we might be better off for four years.
Weed be better off with a literal potato sitting in the oval office.
In a suit, of course...

They claimed that AI was the reason so many heroes were disrespected at the Pentagon
Anybody remember that episode of the Dollop about slaughtering birds on some island? Least funny, most horrifying, and oh yeah. Donnie T wants in on that

Absurd. He promised to pay (but didn’t) a bunch of people to use ChatGPT to come up with his bullshit. What kind of idiot are you that you believe Donald Trump would bother to do any of this shit himself?
