The countries were at peace before something caused them to escalate into a war. You can’t just declare that a war has ended by having a representative from each side sign a piece of paper and expect it to remain this way without addressing the root causes that lead to said war to begin with.

But trying to understand the situation and finding ways to address those root causes requires far more work than Trump can be bothered with. He only cares about giving the impression that he did something.

As usual, Trump has an overly simplistic view of the problem to match his abysmal level of understanding of it, and proposes equally simplistic solutions to it. He then declares he fixed it because of how much of a genius he is and then ignores the evidence that it didn’t work.

The passive aggressiveness of that title is 👨‍🍳 👌

It’s like they’re not trusting the US for the defence of their sovereignty. That’s weird. I wonder why.

When in a gold rush, be the one selling shovels.

I’m off to buy stocks in bananas.

Shit like that is why AI is completely unusable for any application where you need it to behave exactly as instructed. There is always the risk that it will do something unbelievably stupid and the fact that it pretends to admit fault and apologize for it after being caught should absolutely not be taken seriously. It will do it again and again as long as you give it a chance to.

It should also be sandboxed with hard restrictions that it cannot bypass and only be given access to the specific thing you need it to work on and it must be something you won’t mind if it ruins it instead. It absolutely must not be given free access to everything with instructions to not touch anything because your can bet your ass it will eventually go somewhere it wasn’t supposed to and break stuff just like it did there.

Most working animals are more trustworthy than that.

Gabe wins the internet once again.

Look up the phenomenon called “Chatbot Psychosis”. In its current form, especially with GPT4 that was specifically designed to be a manipulative yes-man, chatbots can absolutely insidiously mess up someone’s head enough to push them to the act far beyond just answering the question of how to do it like a simple web search would.

So how does that work since he’s turned the US into a third world country?

I’d say it’s more akin to a bread company saying that it is a violation of the terms and services to get sick from food poisoning after eating their bread.

He was sent by someone to do this. No wonder Trump is defending him. He know if they throw him under the bus he might talk.

I am sceptical when it comes to electronic safety features that downright take control of the vehicle from the driver. The idea and intent might be good but when you put it in the hands of a car manufacturing company that wants to save money it can quickly turn into something that is more dangerous if it is not regulated properly.

A great example is the ABS system. I learned to drive without it. Then some car companies did the half-assed implementation of a single channel system. (Essentially of only one wheel lost traction all braking power would be severely reduced on all wheels). That shit was downright dangerous in the winter. I had to use the handbrake to not end up cutting into a busy intersection because my breaking power had been reduced to almost zero by the ABS system because one wheel was on an ice patch. For as long as I had that car after that, I had the ABS fuse pulled in the winter.

Now my fear is a half-assed automatic braking system that brakes without warning for no good reason.

The US just wants to sell Canada something. They just want our money and control over us.

Sweden on the other hand is looking for a mutually respecting partnership. We both have something the other side needs. Let’s work together.

I see this more akin to drowning and then someone brings you a cupcake.

What do you mean? That would be horrible!

AI is great at pursuing the ideal you give it, in that case “make money”, and finding all sorts of counterintuitive ways to pursue that ideal the best it can with complete disregard to anything else that could distract from it including humanity’s interests and morality. It would destroy the planet just to make more money… oh wait no nevermind now I see CEOs do that already.

Two Canadian Air force pilots had to be medically discharged after a Russian ship caused permanent damage to their eyes with a laser a while back.

Fuck the Russians.

The harder they’ll try to force feed it down their customer’s throats by making it increasingly prominent and obnoxiously insisting in the interface, the more people will hate it.

How can Microsoft still not know that fact after doing it for over three decades is beyond me.

I was hesitating between Toyota and Mazda for my next car. Looks like it’s going to be Mazda.

Refund the countries they charged the tariffs from. They did say they were the ones who were going to pay them after all.
