Summary
Critics accused Trump and his administration of using ChatGPT to create its new tariff formula, which mirrors AI-generated outputs.
Commentators highlighted that the tariffs appear based on a simplistic calculation: divide the U.S. trade deficit with a country by total imports, or default to 10%.
Analysts slammed the approach as flawed and dangerous.
Markets reacted sharply, with the S&P 500 falling over 4% and Nasdaq dropping more than 5%.
TBH, if AI runs the country like it’s doing right now, we have little to fear from it being cleverer than us.
It doesn’t have to be cleverer to make us miserable and take away our freedom. That’s what Trump has shown us.
This is just AI turning on its creators to destroy them earlier than anticipated. Instead of creating terminators to physically kill them though they’re just going to financially ruin them.
That would be so cool!
