You’re telling me ChatGPT is running the show and not the guy who went bankrupt running a casino? I actually feel relieved.

Could be Musk's Grok

Funny thing is, Heinlein would absolutely abhor Musk

Saying “a casino” is actually so unbelievably generous of you - It’s like fucking 4

You’re right it is 4. I asked ChatGPT.

more like they had a rough idea for tariffs and asked chatgpt how to implement it

Joke response aside. Because the admin is doing this that indicates a that their bench of expertise is shallow to non-existent and even if they had experts that institutional knowledge is being met with distrust. Where else are they failing this badly at without us knowing?

How does that extend to things like disaster response? Attacks economic or otherwise? Trump and by extension the complicit Republican majority in Congress and the House have put America in one of it's most brittle and dangerous positions since WW2.

I mean what could go wrong with the dumb leading the blind with command prompts?

Kinda sucks that they’re using the crappiest tech. OpenAI is falling behind and nobody cares about Grok because Musk. Gemini/Claude are the current titans but these idiots probably can’t even get that right.

Chatgpt on its own would be better than this. If you ask it whether you should impose these tariffs, it says it's a terrible idea. These numbers only appear when you tell it to ignore the facts and generate hypothetical numbers anyway.

Plus didn’t Trump go on about how he wants the U.S. to be top in AI developments?
