    Well, he didn’t necessarily lie, August 1st wasn’t day 1 of his presidency. He didn’t say anything about rising costs afterwards!

      I'm pretty sure we could all have quite reasonably expected rising costs, destruction of science, frittering of international standing, increased morbidity and mortality, etc.

  If nobody can afford anything with more than 8 gigs of ram for their office workers, they’ll all just pay for more AI tokens because otherwise the 900ms keystroke latency in MS Word would make it impossible to work, right?

  I would be shocked if that wasn’t on some AI company’s brainstorm board as a positive side effect (for them) of all of this.
