The point is not whether or not President Trump has the right to declassify anything. Almost everyone agrees that there are certain things that under statute, such as nuclear data, cannot be declassified by verbal decree or even by written decree of the president without meeting a certain qualifications.
 
However, that is not the argument in question; the argument is whether or not the specific documents that President Trump had in his possession could be declassified by verbal decree, and the answer is yes.

It's a joke man, relax.

Funny story, most populations are shrinking. Even in places like China and India. Google China overcount of population for an eye opener.

Very few people like being displaced for economic reasons. We do not have this problem for the first 99 percent of human existence and we are not built for it.

Musk gets a lot of flack for his politics, but at least the guy knows his engineering and isn't some finance bro who failed up.

...so give me what I want or it'll cost you your country, or whatever.

Rsilvergun, is that you? ;-)

Seriously though, if you're citing Dunning-Kruger, there's a reallllly good chance you're the midwit.

You bring up a great point: how does this affect us? It's not like the housing market where most everyone (owner and renter alike) was impacted. This feels localized by comparison.

Watching rsilvergun reply 'anonymously' to rsilvergun is peak slashdot

When you look at proxies for population like grain production and import/export, you discover China's population might be much lower:

Translation: Despite AI having serious flaws and shortcomings, it is fashionable to say it resembles a brain. We ride the AI hype train in academia too! (Now please hire us OpenAI)

We stopped it in my neck of the woods. A large Amazon datacenter was just denied rezoning. It didn't hurt that they tried to strongarm a 50-year tax abatement and shrugged when people asked about water and power usage. 600 people showed up to the county board meeting - a record by far.

...but liars figure.

I can make numbers dance to any tune, too. But that don't make it true.

The high-end gamer Bros are mad that the AI Tech Bros are stealing all their RAM. Definitely rich people problems.

The tools were being used by highly skilled mathematicians who knew what to ask and how to verify. Moreover, the there was nothing novel, just recombining known theory. Wake me when an AI wins a Fields Medal.
