This is similar to what Trump did with North Korea... they are now working within normal diplomatic relations that fall short of war.

The claim that North Korea has fewer military provocations now than before Trump's 2017-2018 negotiations is false. We've previously discussed this. I'm reposting my response below for the benefit of other readers:


My semi-insider understanding [of North Korea's provocations is that they] are far more in number and severity than before. For example:

  • There continued to be major missile tests yearly until 2023, and in 2022 they flew a missile over Japan.
  • In 2022, a North Korean drone got within 2 miles of the Blue House (where the South Korean president lives). This type of drone is more like a cruise missile than a quadcopter.
  • In 2024, the North has officially abandoned a policy of reunification with the South and there's been all sorts of major border skirmishes. In 2024, the North launched artillery into the South.
  • The North has been sending troops to fight in Ukraine and sending supplies to the Russians.

If you are seeing less provocations in the news, I think that's just your media diet.

Typical GDP growth in the US is about 2%/year. That means just waiting 4 years doing normal stuff gets you ~10% productivity improvement. ChatGPT was released just about 4 years ago.

There's a lot of subtleties in the economic figures. But my back-of-the-napkin math above argues that we would have had this 10% permanent productivity gain without any investment in AI.

They don't; it's all informal. AAAI is the closest thing and has a lot of overlap. Basically no one is a member if IEEE or ACM.
