In 2026. That's decades away.

The US could announce withdrawal at any time with six months' notice, sure, but that has not happened yet.

Back on Titan, Thanos told his people "you need to kill half the population to save our civilization from disaster." The people of Titan dismissed Thanos as insane. Thanos, being actually insane, decided he was going to prove he was right by going around massacring halves of populations.

In other words, he's not doing this to actually help anyone, he's doing it just to prove he was right. Solving the universe's problems by other means wouldn't do that so that's not an acceptable outcome for him.

Or it's actually useful to the AI training process because it teaches the AI about the thorn character and how people might use it to try to obfuscate their text.

It can actually be useful to have misspellings in the training data. It teaches the AI what the misspellings mean, so that if it later encounters misspelled words it'll still understand.

He claims it's to "poison" AI training data.

Innumerable people have explained to him that this doesn't work, but he appears to be either immune to education in this matter or is just using this as an excuse to do it anyway for some other reason.

Any day now I'm expecting Trump to announce a pardon for Epstein.

So I guess CUSMA is dead?

No, why would it be? It's already in effect, Trump would need to explicitly withdraw from it to make it stop being in effect.

He might do that, of course. He's randomly throwing tantrums and his dementia-riddled brain could come up with any random impulse for him to follow. But this isn't that.

I got a plugin one instead of battery-powered. If I'm dusting a computer I'm going to be near a power outlet anyway so it seemed pointless to make it wireless. It's was both cheap and quite powerful, I use it for blasting dust out from under furniture and other such handy tasks as well.

Make those heating coils out of superconductors and it'll be even more efficient.

The decision of whether the government falls is, in large part, the way the assessment of the budget is expressed.

Judging trade deals purely on money in vs. money out is Trump thinking.

So it's about on par with humans, then.
