The recent drops means the USA has fallen below Germany, a country with less than 1/4 the population & 1/6 the GDP, as a "foreign aid power". (ChatGPT helped build this, obviously) 110 1

David Reinstein @daaronr.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Did Charlie Brown football kick attempts (cartoon strip) occur during the US football season? Yes they did. At least ChatGPT 04 mini high's analysis is pretty clear. I haven't checked the raw data though. 41 attempts, all in-season. 100 1

People will die. 100 1
David Reinstein @daaronr.bsky.social · 19/10/2024This is GPT's budget estimate, but it seems plausible to me. I'm not trying to deny there are many people in the US who are suffering from poverty.
