Most of the vehicles sold internationally meet **EU** safety standard. Standards which are almost always higher than those here in the US.

(Even more so today, in fact, since Trump has been busy cutting back US agencies ability to actually do what they're tasked to do.)

But yeah, convince yourself that they're all cheap low-quality garbage and that fat-assed American SUVs and pickup trucks are exceptional....

As much as I agree with the statement that contemporary LLMs certainly differ a lot from what we experience as "thinking" from other human beings, the problem with this line of argument remains that there is no consensus on what exactly manifests "thinking",

The problem with this line of thinking is that you are ignorant of the fact that we CAN say what is not thinking, and we've narrowed down the problem quite a bit.

It is generally agreed that chocolate bars do not think. Rocks do not think. Pocket calculators do not think. We know what thinking is not, even if we can't define it fully.

And Argentina also has a state-supplied health care system, which la Presidenta is helping to subsidize with that $40 Billion ($20 Billion now, $20 Billion later). The reason is that both his sons and Bessent (Sec. of the Treasury) had crypto investments in the crap Milei was promoting before it went south. The $40 Billion of U.S. taxpayer money is to preserve la Presidenta's Crime Family's and Bessent's investments. Are we tired of winning yet?

DOGE doesn't but the little Maggots in it have been seeded out to the agencies to spread their diseases further. I hope the next actual Administration goes through and weeds out the Maggots with which la Presidenta has infested the Fed. Gov. And sells off the tasteless gold-plated gewgaws with which el Bunko has festooned the White House, give the proceeds to the poor. And while it is cleaning house, it can tear down the dumpy flag poles he's installed and tear down the new "ballroom" and the new gaudy arch he's planning. They can dump it on Mar-a-Lago, "Here's your crap back, Miss Piggy!"
