This already exists! There's a company called Carbon Robotics that has a prototype of a robot that eliminates individual weeds with a lazer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2s-0wgQWXM
I'm also looking forward to this technology being widely available and helping solve the issue of herbicide run-off, and later additionally the same for pesticides and fertilization.
So the article mentions "regularization" as the secret ingredient to get to a generalized solution, but they don't explain it. Does someone know that is? Or is it an industrial secret of OpenAI?
Regularization as a concept is taught in introductory ML classes. A simple example is called L2 regularization: you include in your loss function the sum of squares of the parameters (times some constant k). This causes the parameter values to compete between being good at modeling the training data and satisfying this constraint--which (hopefully!) reduces overfitting.
The specific regularization techniques that any one model is trained with may not be publicly revealed, but OAI hardly deserves credit for the concept.
That's only one example, in a voting system that is easily gamed with vote-splitting. Do you have any more examples to show us? You mention Germany, well in that country the best buddies of Putin are the previous Christian democrats and the socialists, while the biggest opponents are the greens under the leadership of Annalena Baerbock.[1]
Yes, the RUS support does seem to have switched, they were supporting DE Greens in the past, not sure why the change, haven't followed it closely enough. Maybe damage (to nuke industry) already done, and they needed to amp up support for importing fossil fuels, which wouldn't be credible for Greens to support. As far as I can tell, it's all opportunistic, laying groundwork for whatever might work in their favor. Since I don't have copies of the checks, it is also possible that the Greens merely played the role of Useful Idiots (in the V. Lenin definition) and happily helped with RUS goals.

Analyses abound about [what's wrong with American democracy](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Essay:Problems_with_the_curren...). The nail in the coffin though, will be the first part of your sentence. The American Constitution is notoriously hard to amend, which means that it is just too easy to maintain as it is by those who benefit from the status quo. We can already see this by how the will of the majority is routinely ignored through unequal representation. My opinion is that this is not sustainable and will have to be resolved through unlawful means, exactly because of the unflexibility of the law.
He's trying to paint the picture that Wallonia is a repressed ethnic minority. My head spins at the level of idea-twisting it would require to claim something like that. Otoh it's also interesting to find a new trope that this guy's ideological tribe is latching on to.
