This belies a fundamental misunderstanding of Yemeni society. Arab political structure is based on tribal loyalty. Leaders of tribes pledge allegiance to other tribes or coalitions of tribes. They're not part of the same command structure because such a thing does not exist. Usually instead of being defeated tribal loyalties change with the political winds and tribe leaders neogtioate with other leaders. Twitter is also ubiquitous in Arabia and the natural place for political announcements.

Consciousness exists as a result of a survival function. LLMs emulate this because it's a statistical model based on human data. This dors not make it in itself conscious.

Why are we so worried about supposed AI harms when algorithms already kill millions? It seems like its just a smokescreen to shield the extant harms.
throwaway85825··on More questions about whether researchers can trust OpenAI with unpublished math
ClosedAI has every incentive to scoop academics to juice their valuation. Their public statements are worthless, only the incentive 'alignment' matters and theirs will never be on the side of the user.

A masterstroke of corporate gaslighting for their disposable product.

They have permanent on site inspectors, which is a contributing factor to consolidation. Whether the inspection is worth anything is a different matter.

In the 40s the government took control of the whole economy in the name of national security, in the 1860s the government suspended the constitution in the name of national security. None of this is new.

Carpenters are the trade that builds houses from wood. Almost every house in america is built this way. I've yet to see a carpenter job, which requires being on site, outsourced to china. Misdirecting by pretending not to know what a carpenter is, is just downright dishonest and emblematic of the deceiptful open borders argument.

The national government functions as a labor union through its control of the border and regulating the conditions of employment.

>I disagree with most jobs can easily be trained or cross trained

People just overestimate how complicated their job is because it makes them feel important. If anything immigrants take longer to get up to speed which is why companies usually only hire them when its cheaper. Or nepotism.

It's just not viable if you have a mortgage and insurance. There's also FinCEN reporting though temporarily suspended. I get the feeling you dont have any experience dealing with these bureaucracies. Otherwise you wouldn't be so flippant.

Tradesmen? Americans used to become carpenters but now don't because it used to be paid well enough but now pays peanuts. All because of immigration. If carpenters were paid what they were paid in the 60s, inflation adjusted you'd see American carpenters again. There is no labor shortage, only a wage shortage because too many people like you demand to hire at slave wages and failing that import someone desperate enough to take it.
