How is it not relevant in a discussion about crime?

You are taking a hardline libertarian position. We safety test cars, roads, bridges, pharmaceutical. What happens when the unvetted AI model starts teaching people how to make biological weapons, or convincing kids to kill themselves?

It is not demanding a ban at all. Any sane regulation of AI will involve safety testing. This seems like common sense.

I can promise you this is not how the MBAs are reading the situation.

You can have the day off. Don't think for a million years you will be paid for it.

People use it; they also understand that the end goal of AI is to automate away the vast majority of white collar jobs and enrich the capital class.

If a business attempts to steal from me I instantly charge back and the onus is on them to prove that I owe them money. I do this all the time and have never been blacklisted.

Absent any useful context about the situation at all, it’s very strange for a girl to ask a random guy for a ride home. Most women I know would 100% ask a girl. I think it’s very reasonable to think something is up here.

I usually dislike when people talk to me in public. Some people have nothing to say but they trap you in a conversation anyways. Some people are genuinely interesting and energizing to talk to. Either way, every conversation i've had in public has stuck with me and I can remember these conversations 6+ years later.

> The day the tariff goes into effect is after vast amounts of on-shore stock has already landed

Tariffs took effect in February 2025. We saw CPI go up 2.7% in 2025 and 2.5%/4 in Q1 2026 so I'm skeptical of the inventory lag theory. Maybe we're stressing some other part of the economy and gearing up for catastrophic failure, but I don't see that in the economic data.

> If you live in the US

I live in the US. Gas prices spiked in 2024 and prices went up, gas prices went down and CPI leveled off, tariffs started in 2025 and CPI remains stable. Maybe tariffs are cutting into some drop shipper's profits but I'm definitely not paying for it.

I'm skeptical. Tariffs affect the cost of business same-day. If we were going to see a change in consumer prices id expect to see an inkling of a change 12 months in. I'm open to being wrong but claims that tariffs are destroying the American consumer feel like gas lighting given the CPI data.

US consumer inflation in 2025 was 2.7%, so clearly the impact on consumers from tariffs was minimal.
