AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I think his death will be good for 3/4 of the world and really bad for Americans.
Like look how buddy buddy Trump was with Mamdani. Trump is susceptible to flattery and manipulation and Mamdani must have played him like a flute. So kissing the ring won't work post trump.
The Post Trump admin also wont be distracted by constantly having to jockey for his approval. Granted a new leader will probably engage in similar humiliation rituals and crony politics.
But basically with Trump butthole gone his ass kissers can focus on their work of enacting christo-fascism.
I’m sure it’s somewhere between same and worse. The point is, things will not magically improve. That’s not how this works. The only reason this term is different than his last one is the machinery of shitty, motivated, power hungry people behind him and they don’t go away when he dies.
Pretty much. The bad parts will become more predictable.
Its so weird to think about what might have been had they not had 4 years to write P2025. Would they have rigged the 2024? (Did they??) Plus there's the whole, pandemic playing out differently.
As much fun as it will be to see the look on MAGA faces while the whole world irreverently celebrates... Trump is a symptom not a cause.
And......how is any of that good for the rest of the world? Thats like saying "hitler is in charge for now, but he's a big softie. Once he goes the REAL nazis take over!"
I just fail to see how your vision of post trump death is good for the world if thats when the unregulated chaos begins.
First off I did acknowledge that his death would be categorically bad for 1/4 of earth. Palestine, Taiwan, Ukraine, and others will probably get even worse treatment.
Second my comment is specifically responding to the, "His death won’t change much of anything." So hopefully with that context you can see where I'm coming from here.
That's because I see Trump as the source chaos. His death won't be the end of MAGA-USA but it will make dealing with the US more predictable for other countries.
Also Trump is using his position to support other dictators. Maybe Russians would have overthrown Putin by now. Who know?
But yea when I say "good"... I mean better than something worse. Not categorically positive.
