Finally, labelling Trump an “Athenian” implies sophisticated statecraft. But Athens fell from arrogance, not pragmatism. Thus, calling bullying and shortsightedness realistic overlooks how power without wisdom invariably breeds decline. History’s forgotten lesson?...

Trump as a realist? Only if realism means bullying Canada, humiliating Ukraine, and praising autocrats. Orwell would smile at this doublespeak: strength is weakness, aggression is peace, incompetence becomes wisdom.

By treating liberal internationalism as unrealistic idealism, the author conveniently overlooks its real successes in stability and peace. Instead, crude power politics emerge as “pragmatic”—but pragmatism doesn't typically involve sabotaging your allies.

The piece calls Bush’s Iraq invasion idealist folly, yet Trump’s threats against Canada or humiliation of Ukraine appear as measured realism. Evidently, realism’s virtue depends entirely on who is wielding the power—and who is telling the story.

It’s remarkable to see Trump presented as a cautious realist avoiding war with Russia, yet willing to provoke needless conflicts elsewhere. Selective realism indeed: avoiding fights with bullies while freely intimidating weaker allies becomes justified strategy.

By framing U.S. industrial decline as liberal folly, the writer glosses over corporate greed, conveniently ignoring how powerful interests profited from outsourcing. Here, “naïveté” replaces economic exploitation, quietly shifting blame away from certain elites.

According to the author, abandoning Ukraine is wise restraint, yet supporting international cooperation via diplomacy or aid is foolish idealism. Strange logic indeed, elevating crude self-interest above genuine alliances, as if strength is shown by betrayal.

Labelling Trump's bullying diplomacy as gritty realism is clever, though misleading. Suddenly, threatening allies and praising dictators are sold as strategic virtues, obscuring the reckless narcissism lurking beneath this “hard-nosed” façade.

How neatly war in Iraq transforms into lofty idealism, while economic greed—shipping jobs to China—is branded a liberal naïveté! An odd inversion where reckless aggression becomes noble intent, and profit-driven outsourcing morphs into innocent misjudgment.

While it’s fair to critique AI’s tendency toward formulaic repetition and its role as a confident confabulator, we must remember that any tool’s impact is also shaped by the skill and ethics of its user. With vigilant curation and ethical oversight, AI can be more than a mere parrot of platitudes.

I’m afraid that all this talk of “bullshit” might drive away the very bullshiters-those who use AI without a blink at its stochastic parrotry-and end up preaching only to the critical choir. Ironically, this confirmation bias may alienate the very audience that needs to learn how to wield AI wisely.

AI doesn’t have to stage a creative coup—it can moonlight as a brainstorming buddy, a digital muse that sparks ideas and sharpens concepts through collaborative insight. The real challenge lies with those still learning to turn fuzz into fire—and with those content to coast on copy/paste shortcuts.

Unless they come up with a proper solution, I might just treat it like a glorified news aggregator and only read "Following" with selected news sources - which, while functional, lacks the element of fortuitous discovery and diminishes opportunities to encounter thoughtful counterpoints.

For now, I’ve switched to just using the 'Following' feed and pinned bsky.app/profile/did:... to home. I really miss the serendipity you’re talking about, but right now, it feels like I’m putting in so much effort to use a platform that doesn’t care about what I like or dislike.

Maybe it’s time we stop obsessing over who created something and focus on what it does. If AI helps express ideas, connect people, or spark creativity, isn’t that what really matters? Let’s embrace your idea of co-intelligence and rethink what ‘authentic’ means in a hybrid world.
