Honestly, they already don't need 50% of what the system is offering. It's just going to take no one being able to afford it for the whole thing to break down. The lack of critical thinking at the top is breathtaking TBH.

Has anyone tried this on JD Vance? Can't imagine Obama with guyliner...

Real values guide your actions. Whether you are a CEO or a burger chef. The problem we have is too many leaders think those values should come from someone else: shareholders, MBA programs, Steve Jobs' or Lee Iacocca's biography. Your values can be shaped, but they can't be borrowed.

This is about to backfire. Did we not learn anything from what happened in the 79s with manufacturing? If you can't afford to bring the workers here you'll send the jobs there. Does MAGA understand cause and effect at all?

> but I think it comes out of genuine frustrations from the enterprise world.

Yet politicians continue to act like the government should operate like a business and for some reason all of us working in corporate America think this is a good idea...

You won't catch me saying that. I have grown a pretty distilled and pure cynicism for corporate America.

The federal government certainly isn't perfect but the solution is not to try and make it more like the corporate dystopia.

MAGA never ceases to amaze me on how they can create a problem from hosting an email server in your basement or create a conspiracy theory about pedophilia on the other side of the aisle, but when it comes to data they use the public cloud or services and when it comes to pedophilia they hide the records that prove the president is. Why are Americans accepting this?

This is why we used to elect and appoint officials who were "the best of us". What we have now is a government that is signalling that they want to do right by their base while doing things without research that will do the opposite. The worst is that both the officials and their base lack the ability to reason or sustain attention long enough to determine the cause and effect of decisions like these. When Intel and Motorola are belly up and the US is out the bailout money Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm Huiwei etc., banking on Chinese tech investment made by qualified officials, will be taking all the money and jobs overseas. Isolationist policy could only work in this day and age with extremely competent leadership and highly valuable reseources. After years of Oligarchy, the US has neither. Isolationism may have been fine in the 19th century, but few people had flushing toilets then. The 21st century is completely different.

Always picks the loser. What a great businessman. Right now this looks like he's turned our government into a private equity firm. If we'd have elected Mitt Romney all those times we had a chance we could have had someone who's experienced at running a private equity firm instead of failed casinos.

To elaborate on this, the LLM is anonymous to the user and removes most social expectations from the interaction. Facing a person with expertise in a field one has little experience in is intimidating for many people. Here we see the drop of social awareness due to the anonymity of a text input actually as a benefit. It would be interesting to have a blind study where one person asks these questions answered by a professional and another gets answers from an AI and see if there's any difference in user satisfaction.

You might even get better responses over text or in a situation that's just different.

A lot of doctors are under pressure to handle a lot of patients and they are used to telling patients that they ought to lose weight or quit smoking or something and the patients never do so they are not really engaged.

If you tasked a real doc to work like the AI and answer questions on an a la carte basis and not have another patient scheduled in 20 minutes and be more concerned about "how do I bill insurance for this?" [1] than anything else.

[1] I worked for a very early clinical notes startup and I was the cynical one who thought the sure path to a viable product was billing/rebilling.

Since when is Harvard a public school? Frankly, no college in the US can be called a public school only getting between 20-30% of their funding. If our bully in chief and the political right want to tell colleges who to educate they could try ponying up the cost. Otherwise if a Chinese or North Korean wants to go to Harvard, has the academic chops and can pay for it, they can go there. That's a free market.
