I'm confused by the part that says it's not actual gameplay footage. Then it shows something that looks like the original. What are we looking at here?
I think it's the exact opposite, he's tearing down all the sources of soft power and goodwill that this peace was based on. He's going back to the merchantilist and imperialist "every man for himself" strategies of the 1800s.
I don't think it's positive for peace. The pax-Americana has been one of the most peaceful times in all of history. Without them we are likely to go back to big countries picking on small countries again and other small regional conflicts as there is no recourse for doing so.
Did you read the article? Standard traffic cameras or sensors are all you need to implement this. And yes, most places have the technology already in place to do most of it. You just need to add the part to network them and control the lights.
China already "solved" it with the one child policy. They will have the most massive population decline ever in the coming decades. It will probably destroy their economy.
I checked over at /r/conservative and was surprised that even the majority there seemed to be ashamed by what happened. Though there were some of the blowhards you describe too.
My use cases thus far have been pretty minimal. Stuff like OCR extraction of tables from images (which were possible before LLM's), very occasional reformatting of lists and stuff, some of the built in summarization features which provide tiny value. I've never actually used them to write something for me. The one time I considered it I found something better already written.
