[ExI] Trump Is Obsessed With Oil, but Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World

[Adrian Tymes]

Update on Greenland: I'm seeing reports that NATO's chief managed to make a
deal by granting the US control over the Space Force base in Greenland.

Which the US already had, but supposedly that was enough for the person who
had been threatening to order an invasion of Greenland.

One wonders if there are similarities to AI-style hallucinations, and a
preview of what governance by AI - and how humans might exploit it via
prompt engineering - might be like if the AI is similar to what we have now.
