COSMIC is new(ish) and wants to make a splash. So they are trying to quickly get their design goals and feature parity as fast as possible. That's going to introduce new bugs, a compromise they were willing to make.

Nah, they just don't know what they are doing. They are code monkeys, not software engineers.

Bugs take a lot longer to fix the more you delay.

So basically, your approach likely leads to a future where the models never learn to handle emergency vehicles, because safety drivers keep having to intervene before they can gather adequate data

Tell me you don't know how model training works without telling me you don't know how model training works.

Elections usually have observers from both parties to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen.

So ok, these are the kinds of election frauds that could happen, or have happened historically.

If we're going to be scientific about it, we should ask, "Where were the Republican observers? What is there testimony about what happened?" Any attempt to ignore the hundreds of observers that were present is just unscientific nonsense.

The rise of populism in Europe is a real trend.

Populism isn't automatically a bad thing: it just means that the general public is being represented (or appealed to). Obama was populist, and he was fine, literally the best US president of the century and it's not even close.

Populism combined with the belief that your country can conquer the world is a bad thing (like what Hitler did). But a knee-jerk anti-populist attitude is not nuanced enough.

I will also add that Ian Bremmer seems to see trade deals as an important part of Pax Americana, but it isn't. "Liking America" is also not Pax Americana. Pax Americana isn't a popularity contest.

Pax Americana happens because countries have a moderately reasonable belief that if they invade their neighbor, America will do something to stop them. When that belief is gone, Serbia will immediately invade Kosovo.
