And the people who hate the right choices are rarely the ones who hold back on the propaganda front.

But won't go so far as to acknowledge that the South China Sea is South?

But what makes you think the purple states won't see what is happening to the red states? Not to mention that it will be much harder to just target the red parts of purple states.

That is not the same thing though. Your version sounds like the laws accelerate enshittification where the original is about the laws stopping a reversal of the enshittification that already happened in the past.

They’re just too unreliable for any serious enterprise grade application

I wouldn't go that far. They are perfectly capable of fucking up as badly as organizations with the "enterprise" warning label have for decades.

Might be less pain in the long term to just let them die on that hill then and replace them when they are gone along with Excel.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

As in if you show it to 100 people each one will think of a different 10 words. But not as in "here, take these 1000 words and produce a picture that will put those 1000 words into the minds of anyone who sees it".

Can we trust their developers to protect our privacy and security?

There is little hope of that if even article writers can't be trusted to ask the correct questions such as "Do the AI model developers have enough control over their models to even tell if the model would do/not do that?"

The end result is often not important though. what is important is that someone understands the customer's business use case well enough to be able to judge if the end result is actually fit for purpose and to adjust the end result to accommodate later changes in the requirements. AI is particularly bad at both of those.

The carrots are greens are made out of plastics.

I doubt many people in China are going to re-import MAGA hats from the US.

Which sounds like an excellent reason to go through the pain once and replace Excel with something better standardized.

Not my point. Obviously the US system is complete shit but the healthcare cost is still part of the cost of labor for production of goods in other countries too.

The US has been a bully for at least a century too even if maybe a slightly less authoritarian one than China.

Even if he would keep things stable for the remainder of his term that is still not even close to enough time for the majority of factories to be built, start production and reach profitability and it is extremely unlikely that his successor would keep the tariffs around unchanged too.

But that is the entire point of responsibility diffusion. Everyone knows murder is wrong but what about 100 people each making 1% of the decisions that leads to a loss of life? What about 10000 each making 0.01%? At which point does an individual feel sufficiently detached from the consequences of their actions to make choices that would go beyond their own morals if responsibility was concentrated on them alone?

Our age will eventually (assuming our species survives) be known as the age of responsibility diffusion. Companies, bureaucracies, AI, they are all just different mechanisms to achieve the same thing, detach the people from any sense of responsibility for the outcome of their horrible choices.

You do realize that employers do pay a share of the healthcare cost in other countries too? They are just not given as many choices about it as in the US.

He is. He is an advocate for the concept that his own speech should be free from any consequences for him.

Trusting any foreign government is silly if it is about something where your and their interests don't align (or might diverge in the future), trusting any foreign government makes sense if it is about something where you are sure interests will stay aligned for the relevant time period. Governments are not people, you can't make friends with governments or trust them with matter 10 because matters 1-9 all worked out okay.
