Put more simply, it all becomes a slush fund for the regime in power.

It's not being outlawed but made more expensive via a 3 euro fee attached to every item purchased.

This is just Trump trying to torture immigrants likely due to the psychopath Steven Miller.

In general the law applies equally to everyone associated with the US in any respect so you get due process (in theory) regardless. Specific laws may apply to different classes of people though (see 'enemy combatants').


There is no rigorous definition of intelligence, let alone artificial intelligence. What you're referring to is people simply not knowing what they're talking about.

More to the point, there has always been a cottage industry in predicting an amazing future, just around the corner. 'AGI' is just the latest incarnation.


> For East Asians like myself, it levels the playing field with Westerners

Why do you say that? Are there language or cultural disadvantages to being East Asian?


It’s less about overt disadvantages and more about the practical linguistic and cultural friction we face when reading documentation or engaging with the community. For instance, the open-source ecosystem is deeply rooted in US-centric culture, heavily relying on Western idioms, jokes, and implicit cultural context in discussions. I wouldn't call this 'disadvantages,' but it certainly acts as a handicap and adds an extra layer of cognitive load to our learning curve

Why look back in awe when technological innovation will just keep accelerating. Soon what we have today will seem quaint. Best to keep looking forward with impatience and discontent.

Welcome to human nature.

When the AI models hallucinate up a catastrophe, managers will reevaluate that calculus.

Humans are accountable and act accordingly, models are not.


Yeah, it's probably be something like:

2025: agents are the future!

2026: we don't need any new employees

_stuff gets real_

2027: wow, employees are actually pretty good value.*


Not all humans act like they are accountable.

What happens when you you start floating?

I guess water propulsion... and a rudder?


You need to get an armored jeep then

A decent welder should be able to turn out a trailer hitch <=> outboard motor bracket in under 15 minutes. It's not like you'll need much more than a modest fishing outboard to get through flooded spots.


There is a reason China does so well refining metals like lithium and rare earths: it's difficult, resource intensive and polluting. They have about a 80% global share in lithium processing.

That doesn't matter under a communist dictatorship, but in more civilized countries people don't want it in their backyard.


Do you want to be reliant on a communist dictatorship for multiple critical inputs to your economy?

There is very little that is communist left in China.
