If you want to understand conflicts, you need to read about their history.

I took a look at the tracker they're using as a source, and this appears to be (for the few categories I checked the methodology for) referring to mathematically projected deaths, and not literal counted dead humans. I think that's a pretty important note, especially if we're titling it "at least 600,000 dead". I'm not saying noone died, but "I've used math to estimate that half a million people died based on this set of assumptions" is a very different statement from "We have tallied up literally half a million dead people over here explicitly because of USAID going away"
I mean, you're have to be pretty good to lose that hard... or buy penny stocks or something.
I can't decide if Trump thinks this will make him look like less of a lame duck when the vote passes the house, or if Trump is trying to reverse psychology them out of it.
Most powerful penis in the west.
I'm not sure I'd go to them for advice...
what's the old saying? "Never underestimate the ability of Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory"
Enshittification is a theory of what Cory Doctrow (the guy who coined the term) calls "Platform Decay". It has three steps.
-
Make a good platform for users by offering a service and usually aggressive interoperability with other similar services to reduce switching costs.
-
Once users are locked in by network effects, make their experience worse to the benefit of Advertisers
-
Once the advertisers are locked in due to network effects make their experience worse to the benefit of investors or other equity holders.
Ok now your platform sucks but everyone ia trapped there.
Id argue most LLM services are still in stage 1.
Can you trust them to follow through on their end of the bargin?
I read that as "We're afraid of shouldering even a single gram of risk here, so we're instead gonna let the brownshirts squat in our building"

No. Go read the source material more carefully. I've checked like 5 of the trackers and not a single one I've read reports a single actual, verifiable death. Ita pure math. That doesn't mean there aren't deaths, it just means this is a purely mathematical estimate. The discussion should be "is this estimate reasonable", not "lets assume this estimate is reasonable and talk about how bad Trump is".
