Nah, they just don't know what they are doing.
Moreso than you.
Obviously not, since they don't know how to write code quickly without bugs.
And neither do you.

The billionaires can go. The money can stay.

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, like everything else he touches, he fucks it up and makes it worse.
Just for the sake of argument, I'm trying to think of something he touched and didn't make worse.

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.

Dictators are bad. There's no way around it.
And frankly I think you are probably braindead for defending dictators. I don't know what your problem is or why you would do that. Even if you are communist, defending a dictator is anti-proletariat.

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.

And if that dumbass wanted to screw China, he'd screw Russia which is now getting into bed with China,
His goal is to break the relationship between China and Russia, much like Kissinger did in the cold war. That happened right as Trump was at the age of becoming aware of politics.
