I absolutely agree. It's a major difference to find a publication somewhere that was unknown and discovering something independently. It's useful to be able to do the former, but vastly different from being able to do the latter. Not verifying what the computer did is the real embarrassment for OpenAI.

It's useful, but not groundbreaking. The equivalent to a minimal spanning tree in directed graphs is called an optimal branching. The algorithm for that was originally known Edmonds' algorithm in most of the world after the discoverer. It was later discovered that Chu and Liu already published essentially the same idea two years earlier in a Chinese journal. Even now, it is still often referenced only by Edmonds' name. This happens often enough.

Do you mean the pseudo-dictator that can't make up his mind on whether the world should buy American Goods or not by trying to extort everyone? Let's be real. The reason why Europe has been using Russian Gas was the basic economic argument that nothing was cheaper. Renewables can change that. Nuclear power won't. More importantly, chances are nuclear power is going to add another dependency on foreign powers.

Overall, Islam is no better or worse than the other Abrahamic Religions. I'd say most flavors of Islams are less vile than a lot of the US-centric "Christian" cults even. Does that mean I want to live in an Islamic country? Heck no. But then I wouldn't want to live in a country with Teleevangelist in power either.
