I still can't get ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to write a decent story or do an engineering design beyond basic complexity. They're all improving, but they're best thought of as brain-storming aids rather than actual development tools.
Do you think the military will, and if it hallucinates an enemy combatant that's just being efficient?
Am I the only one thinking of Monty Python's Argument Sketch?

Man: (Knock)
Mr. Vibrating: Come in.
Man: Ah, Is this the right room for an argument?
Mr. Vibrating: I told you once.
Man: No you haven't.
Mr. Vibrating: Yes I have.
Man: When?
Mr. Vibrating: Just now.
Man: No you didn't.
Mr. Vibrating: Yes I did.
Man: You didn't
Mr. Vibrating: I did!
Man: You didn't!
Mr. Vibrating: I'm telling you I did!
Man: You did not!!
Mr. Vibrating: Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
What if the left embraced a strong basic income, and encouraged Trump to expand his payouts to farmers and direct health insurance payments to everyone, instead of using hallucinated economics excuses why those payments will just increase deficits (like that matters)?
Will you please stop with the cringe arguments making me cringe so hard?
Qhat if the countries complaining about immigration are responsible for it, whether by conducting war, selling the means to conduct war on a scale never seen before those countries became colonizers, or, if you want to go that route, climate change, and economic hegemony?
As for emotions, sure, guilty as charged, but what about the original post isn't rage bait? Why not start pointing at the cause of my emotional response, i.e. the emotions expressed in the post to which I was responsing to?
Why shouldn't google buy openai?
Why would those things rise to the level of causing an exodus, unless western arms unimaginably multiplied their power? Why was immigration not a problem before colonialism?
And to answe the other naysayer here because I'm about to get post-throttled, does war typically cause more immigration than deaths?
That's more of a matter of budget than technology. We don't have to send the return-fuel on a single big ship, we can send multiple that dock up in orbit over Mars.
Was the infrastructure out of place, so natives sought to starve the beast by overwhelming it?
Are New Yorkers who voted for Mamdani failing to assimilate?
Did Zimbabwe have an unlimited currency swap line with the Fed?
If the Swiss National Bank was like Zimbabwe and had no access to unlimited Fed dollars on demand, would they have survived 2008, 2020, and the 2022 Credit Suisse crisis?
No handful of local universities can cover all needed topics. Being able to shop the world for products and skills gives an economy more options and better options.
Protectionism and isolationism is economically stupid, almost every economic model shows this. There are ways to improve supplies of critical components without trying to make everything local.
Whether such "protects culture" is another matter. I personally believe such is tribalistic ego in action, but I've hesitantly come to conclude that one must respect xenophobics to a degree, humans are highly imperfect.
Anyone else remember page-widening Klerck, the famous troll driven to suicide by toxic slashdot mods?
" if these same immigrants don't assimilate to the culture of the land they are migrating to"
Did you just describe South Africa?
"resources are collapsing due to a combination of population growth and changes in climate "
Why leave out production-destroying war, made easy by US made weapons?
Enzymes are things invented by biologists that explain things which otherwise require harder thinking. -- Jerome Lettvin
