Please explain how being different imparts impunity with concern to defectiveness.
Red Herring. My point is that an AI model is not as auditable or testable as regular software. The problem is comparing the two as if remotely equivalent, software vendor accountability is a separate issue.

Then you have not been reading along. These flyovers often involve cross-country multiple-waypoint precise time-on-target flights. Which is something that require much training to maintain proficiency at.

Urban waypoints are different than out-in-the-desert way points. Realistic training includes both.

She had demonstrated even less competence than Trump, in the Senate, as VP, and on the campaign trail. Hence the "lesser of two evils". She drove enough democrats and independents to Trump for Trump to win. Can there be a greater example of incompetence?

Submission + - New RSA attack takes cryptographers by surprise (arstechnica.com)
phatrabt writes: There’s a new way to break RSA that’s faster than anything we’ve seen before
Until now, cryptographers thought factoring was the only way to break RSA. Not anymore.
“If this result holds up under peer review, it would indeed be a conceptual break-through,” Karsten Nohl, a cryptography expert and the head of innovation at Allurity, said in an interview. “RSA is as difficult to break as it is to factor large integers, at least so we thought. The researcher suggests that you can practically break RSA without cracking its key.”

When software does what it's not supposed to do, we call that a bug, and we fix it. When a corporation tries to spin its bugs as braggable episodes, laymen may quiver in fear (or excitement), but more capable people look down upon the corporation for its incompetence.
There is a difference between normal software and AI models. Software is built from source code you can study and understand what it does. AI Models are black boxes where we don't really know how they are coming to the results they offer. Its not quite realistic to compare the two, they are two very different approaches to computing..

No one is defending stupid shit, that quote is a great example of legitimate complaints about Trump. Ie its something he actually said, rather than some fiction made up by the far left. That and dumb stuff only comes from the far right, it comes from both extremes.

Its not a Pyramid Scheme. This is interest or dividends being paid to early investors using the deposits of later investors.
Its a Greater Fool Theory where one buys expecting someone else to buy at a higher price in the future, despite no underlying value.

You would be surprised what aerial surveillance can do in terms of accurately estimating production. And then there is the number of drones they have (had) in inventory and shipped to Russia.

Actually the roar of the cheering crowds at the Stadiums prove otherwise.
Stadiums full of people for event that has a flyover, is still "an event like an Air Show", and aren't the type of problematic flyovers being talked about.

Why? Because Ukraine has been superior at every, single point of this war.
Often due to western tech. From day 1, which was available ot Ukrainian special forces that blunted the initial assault on Kiev. And then in ground combat as western troop carriers were introduced and increased survivability. It is only recently that they have gotten that western tech in the fighter arena. For much of the fighting it has been their bravery in defending their land that evened the odds against numbers.

That's an "excellent" non-answer to the question.
Its not a non-answer, you simply seem to be in denial. The "I wouldn't do anything different from Biden" is widely recognized, even by folks on the left, as to why sho lost the election.
She was also widely criticized, by internal white house source, as someone who did not prepare for meetings and interviews and her numerous babbling answers on TV certainly substantiated this.
When she was part of the 2020 democratic primary she was one of the first to drop out, one of the first rejected by democrats as unfit for the office. Her polls were often so low she was counted in the "other" category. And after lucking out getting chosen as VP she did absolutely nothing to reverse that opinion. Rather, she confirmed it.
