In great british extravagance, they have 3 right wing parties at the top spot.

I think the key thing here is that this technology is not supposed to answer questions, do research or make decisions. Regardless of what the marketing implies it is better understood as a word calculator. You input the data yourself, and then it arranges everything for you. It's useful if you tell an LLM to categorize 10,000 legal documents according to well developed criteria. It cuts on labor and becomes an actual material gain. It's completely useless if all you do is ask 'what is Dark Matter', because at that point you're expecting the word calculator to create something useful out of its entire training dataset.

It's supposed to do clerical work, not creative work. Basically.

thats when you (further) annex canada to no actual resistance

It might be more likely to be the case that people in these countries have a vested interest in the question. The Koreas are technically still at war and China is perceived as an ally of the North. Same dynamic with the Ukrainians. There's no shortage of propaganda in the US, but americans aren't deluded to the point of an 86% confidence that China cannot possibly become more powerful than them.

I think the most pressing danger is not so much Trump's policies being taken to the extreme end of triggering economic collapse. Rather that issues such as inflation become structural and due to a combination of short termism (people are trying to survive, not make excel sheets) and turbulent political speech every administration is blamed for things which they are all collectivelly doing, enabling or ignoring. Trump's inflation is followed by Biden's inflation followed by Trump's inflation and then, I dunno, Newsom's inflation. The musical chairs ensuring that no planning is done and there's no way out of the mess except a default positive opinion on austerity politics.

this is how we go from a news thread to a news community

Sorry to break it to you but everyone thinks of your country like a movie set in a 1990s high class suburb.

Would the idea of forcing a joint venture even sound bad to a Chinese public? I mean, that's how the Chinese economy got off the ground in the first place in a way.

Depends on your point of view. Are treats popular enough that Trump won't raise tariffs too hard? Then that makes the US an even more credible market to invest in. So much so that the american people will revolt if the government stands in the way. From a capitalist's perspective, its all up to wether this '50% ownership deal' means they are strongarmed into lower profits or not. There's no reason for this to not be a win/win either.

As to war. Well, americans don't care about foreign policy and the US economy is on permanent war footing. Yemen for an instance dealt some impressive blows against the US war machine. It survived. But it was still terrorbombed after, what, a decade of blockades imposed by an american client state?

War with China is too unthinkable to even countenance. Fears surrounding that are less about the 'credibility' of the United States as a warmongering actor (which it is), and more about complex geopolitical situations spiraling out of control. Consider that Kaiser Wilhelm on the eve of WW1 was still asking if the war could be avoided. The answer was simple. It could not because everyone was mobilizing and counter mobilizing their armies at the borders.

I did read news to the effect that you can now easily create douyin accounts using US phone numbers and such. That's an innovation I think.

man whose entire political career is about bringing back the dictatorship claims democracy bad

I think that would prove too limiting. That is, pending a sudden Yellowstone mega-eruption. That said, these are partner countries. Meaning that no consensus was reached as to them joining as full members, and their consensus is not required as to other countries joining as full members either.
