Tempting to think this is madly over the top. It isn't. Putin's ambitions aren't limited to Ukraine. He has militarised Russian society & economy in a way that's difficult to reverse quickly. So, as Macron & Merz have recently recognised, once Ukraine is dealt with, another country will be next.

It's not hard to imagine a scenario where migrant workers in the US are detained in ICE raids, thrown into Trump's migrant camps, then are sent off to work at the same farms and orchards they were originally picked up from, with the state taking what would have been their wage.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
