There's a possibility that someone used an LLM to formulate the tariff percentages. That's not baseless, there's evidence based on replication and similar language in the USTR site.
Which makes it a funny joke to suggest that they did the entire tariff plan top to bottom in ChatGPT.
Yeah, and these people are idiots that can't do anything right. There's as many sanctioned countries accidentally included as there are islands inhabited entirely by penguins.
And so were uninhabited islands. I'm not saying these people are geniuses. I'm saying that Grok probably said to skip sanctioned countries and they got that mostly right.
There's a ton of papers on Google Scholar that still include phases like "Let's delve into..." That show otnwas used not to translate, but for the research itself.
And someone did replicate this, and ChatGPT 4o, o1, Claude and Grok all came up with the same formula for an "easy" way to calculate tariffs.
That's only if you are assuming they are expected to do anything other than be a placeholder whole it gets shut down. They are a loyal signature authority, full stop.
FFS, who is still delusional enough to get knocked up by this creep still? It seems like a 100% success rate in ruining lives is the only consistent outcome.
Realistically, between this and the FBI, what we're going to discover over the next year or two is how well the Three-letters have actually been keeping terrorism at bay over the years.
So then why did Somalia or Burkina Faso not make the list? Does Putin care about them? Not really.
Occam's razor here is pretty easy to see as "Sanctioned counties, and we missed two."
