FWIW “Gambit” without elaboration strongly invokes the “the bankrupcies were on purpose” to me, so, did you say it? Strictly no, but it was very suggestive.

AFAIK, Trump used investor money and rented his brand - he would have upside if the business succeeded, but had no downside for him - he was paid anyway.

That would be a huge difference.

Such pedantry is called for when the debate includes appeals to intuition about how silicon processing floating point numbers cannot possibly be conscious.

No.

I mean, it's an article about similar flags that doesn't include pictures of the flags; it's rare for only one single corner to be cut.

I think Nepal is the only flag that cut a corner.

Interceptors are weapons.

Are you suggesting that a relevant fraction of people seeking AI therapy are doing so on their own hardware?
