Trump said at Mar-a-Lago that Zelenskyy’s rating stood at 4%.

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Donald Trump of living in a “Russian-made disinformation space” due to his administration’s talks with Kremlin officials.

He urged Trump’s team to be “more truthful” after Trump blamed Kyiv for the war and downplayed U.S. aid contributions.

Zelenskyy’s remarks came as U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg visited Kyiv amid shifting U.S. policy on Russia. Meanwhile, European leaders, feeling sidelined by U.S.-Russia talks, held emergency meetings.

Zelenskyy canceled a Saudi Arabia trip in protest.

    Just ask ChatGPT, look up the definition of the word, use google AI … put in any effort to verify your assumptions or false information is true. And type behavior like Nixon, yes. He does not fit the definition of an authoritarian.

      Here, since you need what the definition is. I’m not sure how you don’t think trump isn’t authoritarian. He’s a fucking wanna be dictator, and he’s consolidating his powers more and more.

            lol although the San Francisco based OpenAI Inc. removed their company policy claiming to be politically unbiased last month, the current AI and crypto czar, Angel investor for Facebook, Uber, and Air BnB, has repeatedly accused OpenAI Inc of being liberal. For the above reasons, it’s most logical to assume ChatGPT will not become TrumpGPT without significant and obvious ‘noise.’

              The AI chats don’t seem to give a straight answer on ANY issue. They always give a waffle-y answer that tries to account for ‘both sides’

                Well, that’s how unbiased thinking works. Very rarely is there one truly ‘right side’ but most human experiences have sides where both sides have benefits and downfalls. It’s bigots, the hateful and prejudice who think the world is divided into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ people.

                  Sure, but that makes it unhelpful as a source if it always picks the null hypothesis (for lack of a better way to describe what it’s doing)

                Basically anyone who is a fed could have seen from 3 decades away that the gov wants AI for weapons. While Open AI is involved as a government contractor (which introduces new regulations), the Feds have been poaching ‘ML/AI pros from places like Google and meta for the past 5 years. There are a shocking number of ‘super computer’ engineers working at the labs. I disagree that National security is divided among parties. It’s called ‘the mission’ because it’s a big ominous thing beyond laws. I love working with the DOE/DoD because you aren’t allowed to talk about politics at work. Can be fired for it. That’s great! Keeps things way less political.

            It’s a free brain. You can do the research and come back but ChatGPT seems smarter than most people.

              It’s a plagiarism machine it doesn’t think. It’s not smart, it’s not a brain. But you’re correct in your statement that it’s “smarter than most people” but that’s not a good thing.

        From chatGPT: “Donald Trump is often described as having authoritarian tendencies, but whether he can be classified as a “true authoritarian leader” is debated. While he has demonstrated some characteristics that align with authoritarianism—such as a disregard for democratic norms, an emphasis on strong, centralized leadership, and a penchant for undermining checks and balances—he has not fully implemented the institutional changes or widespread repression typically associated with authoritarian regimes.

        Key authoritarian tendencies in Trump’s leadership style include:

        1. Attack on Democratic Institutions: Trump’s frequent criticisms of the press, the judiciary, and other institutions that could check his power reflect a disregard for democratic norms.
        2. Populism and Cult of Personality: Trump has cultivated a strong personal following, often positioning himself as the sole representative of the “will of the people” against perceived elites and institutions.
        3. Undermining Elections: His repeated claims of a “stolen” 2020 election and the pressure to overturn the results show an authoritarian approach to consolidating power.
        4. Centralized Power and Disdain for Bureaucracy: Trump often favored executive actions and direct control over the government, sidelining bureaucratic processes and established norms.

        However, several factors complicate the argument that Trump is a “true” authoritarian:

        1. Checks and Balances: Despite his tendencies, U.S. democratic institutions (like Congress, the courts, and the media) have proven to be resilient and have pushed back against some of his more authoritarian impulses.
        2. Electoral System and Rule of Law: In a functioning democracy like the U.S., leaders can’t exercise full authoritarian control without undermining the very system that allows them to hold office. Trump’s loss in the 2020 election and the subsequent peaceful transfer of power is a counterpoint to claims of authoritarianism.

        So, while Trump exhibited several authoritarian behaviors, he did not fully embrace the comprehensive, systematic authoritarian rule seen in other countries or historical figures. Whether this was due to institutional constraints or his own leadership limitations is a subject of ongoing analysis.”
