Americans don't just buy Chinese products from Shein and Temu. They buy those products from Walmart, Target, Amazon and essentially every major US retailer.
The US is speedrunning ending their empire on the current trajectory. The world needs to call their bluff to put them in their place.
Was the US. That mistake is being rectified.
This is what the ARC-AGI test by Chollet has also revealed of current AI / LLMs. They have a tendency to approach problems with this trial and error method and can be extremely inefficient (in their current form) with anything involving abstract / deductive reasoning.
Most LLMs do terribly at the test with the most recent breakthrough being with reasoning models. But even the reasoning models struggle.
ARC-AGI is simple, but it demands a keen sense of perception and, in some sense, judgment. It consists of a series of incomplete grids that the test-taker must color in based on the rules they deduce from a few examples; one might, for instance, see a sequence of images and observe that a blue tile is always surrounded by orange tiles, then complete the next picture accordingly. It’s not so different from paint by numbers.
The test has long seemed intractable to major AI companies. GPT-4, which OpenAI boasted in 2023 had “advanced reasoning capabilities,” didn’t do much better than the zero percent earned by its predecessor. A year later, GPT-4o, which the start-up marketed as displaying “text, reasoning, and coding intelligence,” achieved only 5 percent. Gemini 1.5 and Claude 3.7, flagship models from Google and Anthropic, achieved 5 and 14 percent, respectively.
When he applied tariffs to washing machines in 2018, people stopped buying. Demand and production decreased resulting in domestic job losses.
Now, not everything is not a washing machine, but that doesn't bode well.
Anyone who thinks this is just a shortcut to prosperity needs to look at history. In a country that expelled the Democrats due to affordability issues, this is not going to end well.
Florida likes to speedrun the decimation of civilization.
Skill issue, was likely overemployed all things considered. Question the qualifications or anyone who would say this.
They produce solid content, especially long form journalism but their subscription cost is fairly high.
Develop a public healthcare system and we'll talk.
Yeah Hamas is kind of irrelevant here. Palestinians were living on that land and then some folk showed up and said "sorry our book says we're supposed to be here, please leave"
Its the equivalent of someone trying to claim your seat at the theatre halfway into the movie and the proof they show you is something they've scribbled on a napkin. It would not fly for most people.
I understand it's essentially settler-colonialism in practice, which is foundational to modern western civilization. But that doesn't make it right.
If this chucklefuck showed up to your door and said that your home is now part of the Jewish state because the Torah said so, I think we know how most people would respond.
Is this dude literally just a Mossad plant? American politics makes much more sense now.
USA turning itself into Cuba.
It takes a next level pants on head stupid to do this to yourself unprompted.
