And let it sink in for a moment that these two losers have just ended 80 years of globalism and free trade, killed thousands of people, forced millions more into poverty, planted the seeds for future wars and famines that will affect hundreds of millions more, likely enriched themselves in the process and give absolutely zero fucks about the suffering they’ve caused.
And all I’m reading online is comments from Americans either explaining how sad they feel for the rest of the world or excusing themselves because they didn’t vote for them. Nobody fucking cares. Fix your shit, America…
We haven’t just learned the location of the Charles de Gaulle, but also the name of the sailor who’s going to be scrubbing the toilets for the next few months.
Trump expects the world to go to war with Iran. What will actually happen is that the world will re-establish diplomacy with Iran and offer sanctions relief to end the blockade.
Without war reparations, American ships will forever be barred from sailing the strait, and Gulf states will likely start distancing themselves from the US and re-assess hosting American bases and troops.
Trump’s victory looks an awful lot like a strategic defeat that sees the US pull out of the Middle East and leave Iran in a more powerful position then before.
Right now it is in the interest of other NATO countries to see the US weakened militarily and politically. The US stopped being an ally as soon as Trump threatened to annex Canada and Greenland.
Not just a security disaster, but a disaster for performance, testing, lifecycle management etc.
I don’t think people realize just how amazingly stupid it is to outsource your core business to an LLM, unless your software company was a get rich quick scheme to begin with (which is surprisingly common btw).
Not a programmer myself, but I don’t believe for a second that LLM’s will replace programmers.
Altman’s bullshitting on social media is just marketing. Don’t believe for a second that this guy actually speaks truth or even knows what he’s talking about.
However, I do believe that a lot of executives are gullible enough to fall for this vibe-coding scam and kill their business. I also believe we’re going to see a tsunami of racketeers selling broken products.
Trump probably reads Zelensky’s offer as Zelensky gloating or belittling him. If I were Zelensky I would be exploiting the situation to the max, by constantly highlighting how helpless and incompetent the Americans are in the face of Iranian drones and how awesome the Ukrainian fighting force actually is.
Correction: not help to reopen the strait of Hormuz, but help in taking out Iranian positions along the shore, clearing mines and countering incoming drones and missiles. In other words, to join in the war against Iran.
Why can’t the UK just deal with Iran directly? Why pander to an ungrateful US?
