  Sounds like your girlfriend has already broken up with you and she’s just waiting for you to get with the program because she’s too conflict avoidant to say it to your face.

  same way an LLM is able to produce coherent and convincing sentences by statistically determining what word is likely to follow another

  To me this implies that the navigation AI is going to hallucinate parts of its model of the world, because it’s basing that model on what’s statically the most likely to be there as opposed to what’s actually there. What could go wrong?

  Canada will no doubt be laying claim to Greenland

  You jest, but territorial disputes between Canada and Russia over the Arctic are a thing, and there was an active territorial dispute between Canada and Greenland over Hans Island that wasn’t resolved until last year.

  Obviously I don’t mean to suggest that any of the stuff you mentioned could reasonably come true, just that it’s less removed from reality than you probably realized.
