According to the US Constitution, tariffs are up to Congress. Choosing to delegate this to someone else, Joe Blow in Poughkeepsie or some guy in the White House or whatever, does not absolve them of sole responsibility. People should be furious at their congressmen.

Time to throw in the towel, @DougJBalloon, satire cannot hold a candle to this sort of self-parody.
News Analysis: American officials said they had no advance warning of the attack on a Hamas leader in Iran, raising worries of a power vacuum that could lead to a broader geopolitical crisis.

If we can't even get simple stuff like this right, how can anyone be less than petrified about our ability to get actually important AI safety stuff right?

Played a bit with @OpenAI's @ChatwithGPT. It immediately veers into crazy confabulation, both positive (made up quotes) and negative (stating that an article does not contain information that it in fact does). Perhaps if it were trained in the Navajo language...

@Aspie96 @BAPearlmutter @jasonslenderman @ylecun Do you reckon the authors of the Galactica paper read and understood what they’re citing here: “Despite these limitations, today’s large models will become cheaper with experience (Hirschmann, 1964)”? Because it’s about process improvements during mass-production runs.
