There is something absolutely perfect about this imbecilic Trump regime using AI and fucking everything up even worse than they would have if they'd just used a pencil and a calculator. DOGE boys no doubt involved.

Just wait until they implement their AI generated code on Social Security. Honestly, if I was one of these big AI-investing companies I'd try to save the brand by telling them to stop using it.

Hahaha.

"While 47% of experts surveyed say they are more excited than concerned about the increased use of AI in daily life, that share drops to 11% among the public."

"By contrast, U.S. adults as a whole – whose concerns over AI have grown since 2021 – are more inclined than experts to say they’re more concerned than excited (51% vs. 15% among experts)."

Really feels like an LLM got the idea of importing and exporting data mixed up with the concept of data about the import and export of goods when it was writing this guidance on tariff calculations...

> "Parameter Selection: To calculate reciprocal tariffs, import and export data from the U.S. Census Bureau for 2024."

Seems like it should read "To calculate reciprocal tariffs, import import and export data..." but the LLM tokenizer didn't like using the word "import" twice in a row.

Parameter Selection To calculate reciprocal tariffs, import and export data from the U.S. Census Bureau for 2024. Parameter values for ε and φ were selected. The price elasticity of import demand, ε, was set at 4. Recent evidence suggests the elasticity is near 2 in the long run (Boehm et al., 2023), but estimates of the elasticity vary. To be conservative, studies that find higher elasticities near 3-4 (e.g., Broda and Weinstein 2006; Simonovska and Waugh 2014; Soderbery 2018) were drawn on. The elasticity of import prices with respect to tariffs, φ, is 0.25. The recent experience with U.S. tariffs on China has demonstrated that tariff passthrough to retail prices was low (Cavallo et al, 2021).

The weird thing about AI is that it makes people think they are now more creative or smarter.

It's the same mechanism that makes people believe they are super individual by buying the same Adidas shoes everyone else owns.

Okay. Hear me out. But what has AI or GenAI *genuinely* made better?

I'll concede translations and even some brainstorming.

But where has it enabled us to do things that we couldn't do before?

I don't mean "cheaper and worse replacement for a human", but, like, genuinely make humanity better off.

(Also, I refer to the common use of "AI"; I know that ML runs circles around humans for complex optimization problems.)
