This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
While I'm sure the end result will be worse for us in a lot of other ways, one thing i found oddly positive is how his stupid decisions are going to fuck things up:
Most absurdly, given the priorities of Trump’s AI Action Plan, that tariff approach would cost the US about $90 billion annually in GDP losses and cause about 20 percent of data center projects planned through 2030 to be delayed or canceled
Donald might accidentally do something good. I don't think it will happen though.
Epstein class when they're raking it in:
"This is amazing".
Epstein class when you try and take a small portion of their wealth away:
"This is terrible and I hate it."
(PS. I hate Trump but this is essentially what's happening here)
I'm not sure how higher tech prices for you and I are a good thing, but sure. Because that's what is going to happen here, it's simply expanding tariffs on more items.
Where did they suggest that they thought that it was a good thing? Mind the quotation marks
Have you read the comments in the thread, everyone is suggesting this is a great thing.
That's... Not what replies are for..
higher tech prices for you and I
Not for me. You know some of us don't live in US, right?
And I wasn't passing comment on whether or not it was a good thing. I merely pointed out that the reason the tech bros were upset was the fact they were being taxed.
He thinks this is a quick way to reduce the US's $40T debt. It won't.
Nothing that can't be solved with bribes.
Has the AI industry tried bribing him more? That usually does the trick.
My bet is on exactly that being the plan. Stocks go down, tech companies pay to bribe him, next Tuesday a reversal of tariff plans, stocks go up, rich people make more money. Rinse, repeat
Trump shitting on the AI industry has a certain poetry about it
Would be great if it was just the AI industry, but it's simply expanding what tech is subject to tariffs, so its the people that pay the price. Couldn't afford that RAM already, so I guess it doesn't matter right?
That's right, single dumbest thing is taxing chips...... Not starting wars, sending people to die, killing people, breaking the average American, screwing over every person on the planet. No lets call it a list e at taxing chips.
The article doesn't say this is the dumbest thing he ever did. It just says this is the dumbest way he could have done this particular thing.
If we're being technical, the article is saying someone told the writer that its the dumbest way to do this particular thing.
I'm here for the spirit, but your reading comprehension could use some work. The title doesn't say it's the dumbest thing he has done. It says he is doing this particular thing in the dumbest way.
Hes seen a lot of money and he wants it.
He must be lying awake at night furiously trying to figure out how to get a cut of anthropics $30T they definitely have.
Everything trump does is done in the single dumbest way imaginable.
Not necessarily - he isn't bright enough to be that consistent. Sometimes he does something okay like a blind man playing darts will occasionally hit the dartboard.
I actually take that back. Everything trump does is done in the single most evil way imaginable. It's just that evil to these extremes is also really really dumb.
Name one example?
He hasn't name the Earth into Planet America. Yet...
Exactly, what did they expect?
He means potato chips.
AI industry says
I don't care.
They funded his campaign. Serves them right.
Yay I finally get to make a "both sides are awful" argument and be right
Right! It seems like a half ass attempt at improving PR too
Would ya look at the time, it's almost find out a-clock.
To be fair, he probably asked AI what to do, so yeah.
It's not relevant, but you can calculate the area of its face using the square formula.
He'll tax potato chips?
Fucken do it
I look forward to my private sector job being pretty much directly eliminated by stupid executive policy.
It's image makes me shudder. What a stupid big pile of pedophilia shit. DMF DMF,D.
