Well, this is an openly jokey theocratical comment, so yeah.

Sure, whatever you need to believe with no evidence to support it. At least a 80% correlation with the sanctions list mes a touch of sense.

Less complicated is:

“Tariff rates go brrrrrr”

“But it’s hard to add this to sanctioned countries because it involves doing work.”

'Then don’t, lol, FTW. Tell Grok to leave them out."

Grok and all appointees involved are idiots

“Here’s a list of important places that need tariffs.”

So then why did Somalia or Burkina Faso not make the list? Does Putin care about them? Not really.

Occam’s razor here is pretty easy to see as “Sanctioned counties, and we missed two.”

There’s a possibility that someone used an LLM to formulate the tariff percentages. That’s not baseless, there’s evidence based on replication and similar language in the USTR site.

Which makes it a funny joke to suggest that they did the entire tariff plan top to bottom in ChatGPT.

Yeah, and these people are idiots that can’t do anything right. There’s as many sanctioned countries accidentally included as there are islands inhabited entirely by penguins.

And so were uninhabited islands. I’m not saying these people are geniuses. I’m saying that Grok probably said to skip sanctioned countries and they got that mostly right.

Yep, it’s fertilizer and related exempt at inputs. Prior to the war trade with Russian was closer to $30B.

The trade sanctions exist outside of tariff policy, so it’s probably too complicated for ChatGPT (and therefore these clowns) to sort out easily.

There’s a ton of papers on Google Scholar that still include phases like “Let’s delve into…” That show otnwas used not to translate, but for the research itself.

And someone did replicate this, and ChatGPT 4o, o1, Claude and Grok all came up with the same formula for an “easy” way to calculate tariffs.

FFS people, sanctioned countries were not included. Somalia, Burkina Faso…also not included.

Let them deal in baseless conspiracy. Please deal in fact here.

Yeah, sanctioned countries didn’t make the list. It’s that simple.

Did Somalia make the list either? No. Same reason.
