Well then, guess you should just keep your head down and submit. All this "2nd amendment" and "don't tread on me" talk was nothing but bluster. Maybe someone else will come invade the US to introduce democracy for you.

I agree it's worth keeping records of. I'm just pushing back on the language that implies this "will pass" on its own.

One day all of this will pass

Not if Americans are just waiting for it "to pass."

On the one hand we can reduce traffic and the time people need to waste traveling to and from work. On the other hand, this guy can't keep track of his co-workers whose work has nothing to do with him.

all the team is in Paris and he's not. They don't give a fuck what he says.

That's a leadership problem, not a remote work problem. You handle it remotely the same way you would in person.

People think AI is great for subjects they are not experts in. Experts will say AI is trash for their area of expertise.

AI is really good at sounding smart to the unknowledgeable.

Snake Oil Salesman doesn't want people criticizing Snake Oil.

This isn't about saying "return the original text" this is about assuming LLMs understand language, and they don't. Telling an LLM "don't do these things" will be as effective as telling it "don't hallucinate" or asking it "how many 'r's in 'strawberry'.

And an LLM will convert a prompt into a bunch of tokens the model can understand.

And petulant child methods. "I'm going to make my OWN UN, then everyone has to do what I say!"

He didn't even think it through that much. His thought process was:

"The UN won't let me do what I want. I'm going to make my own UN with me in charge so I can do anything I want."

"The UN I'm making is so awesome because I'm in charge, I should charge people to join."

"The King of France was mean about my super awesome UN, I'm going put tariffs on him! What does France sell? Wine and Champaign."

Thoughts 2 and 3 are completely unconnected. If you spent 10 minutes explaining the connection to him he'd think "I'm smarter than I thought, either way I get money!"

"just tell your LLM not to do that"

You ever ask an LLM to modify a picture and "don't change anything else"? It's going to change other things.

A lot of Trump's power comes from the support of the oligarchs. Shutting everything down hurts them, and shows class solidarity which scares the shit out of them.
