It is quite obvious that it’s AI

I like how you make your point, but the soft power of the US is over. As pointed out by others, the current administration is a sympthom, not an aberration.

US may have military primacy and the reserve currency, but neither can restore the loss of the appeal it had between post-ww2 and 2020. When tourists get deported after months of incarceration and we see videos of masked federal goons shooting people in the face, that is something else. When allying with the US gets you humiliation, threats, or even missle and drone attacks, that just does not seems like the smart move. So, respectfully, with friends like the US who needs enemies?

Wishing you best of luck getting your country back tough.

Hmmm, what is the cristian equivalent of fatwa again :thinkingface:

AI generated sh*t will be our doom but fck it, we’ll go down :rofl:

I haven’t looked into this b/c, frankly, this at a low place on my current emergencies list, but sounds plausible.

But… they’ll operate on builtin mini nuclear reactors, just like submarines. They’ll go years without recharging!

– emusk (probably)

If this will indeed be implemented, that is finally an objectively good reason for the haters. I wonder how distros will deal with this.

Yeah, and the next scene is where a bunch of obese federal goons climb out of their unmarked suvs to kidnap a few brownish kids and shoot some of the parents in the face.

No, wait those things did actually happen.

This does not sound plausible.

Whatever may come, there is one sure thing: nobody will trust the US ever again. It may take the old allies a while to find their footing and they may still be dependant on the US. But that relationship will be more like that of the abusive caretaker vs abused teen. Biding their time until they finally can exit the dependance.
