Does anyone ever expect AI to get exponentially cheaper to develop & maintain?
Because absent that, even if it got a lot better, there are straightforward economic problems.

Trump’s literal solution to inflation is to insist prices are lower. That’s actually it.

“Hey remember when I got caught lying? What if I pretended something else was true?”
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.

If you knew nothing else about him, if you saw an old man who kept bragging that being able to identify a camel makes him a genius you’d be like “this guy needs 24 hour medical attention.”
It remains very funny how he’s like “no one has ever drawn a clock better than me” like he got a perfect score on the SATs

Russia's only chance to win is paying off Trump to sell out Ukraine. That's what Trump/Witkoff are attempting. The other option is a democratic US/international coalition giving Ukraine long range missiles to destroy Russia's military bases. Otherwise, Russia won't stop until it is stopped.

Russia's ongoing scheme to trick desperate people to fight in Ukraine with promises of fake jobs is clearly a sign it wants a war it cannot win to end.
"Russian state actors and murky intermediaries forcing or duping people from Africa into fighting in Ukraine, as well as recruits from India, Nepal, Syria, Cuba. They are often drawn in by false promises of well-paid non-military jobs advertised on social media"
