- bflesch 3mo agoAnd it makes me feel better about my own government, while it takes news reporting bandwidth from other stories that are buried instead.
- queenkjuul 3mo agoAs an American, it's about time more people became aware of how embarrassing and incompetent this country is. Some part of me is glad that the US finally has an administration with a degree of professionalism this country deserves
- pstuart 3mo agoThat is part of their MO for sure. But the sloppy test data sneaking through is a plausible excuse. And right after I just wrote that another scenario came to mind: resistance from low level insiders "accidentally" letting it happen to highlight the true incompetence of the administration.
- volkk 3mo agohow is this news at all. it was far most likely a dev/someone testing something and accidentally added it to prod.

- NetOpWibby 3mo agoIf Wakanda existed I’d have moved my family there years ago. America is embarrassing af.

- eru 3mo agoFunnily enough, if they had used AI, this most likely wouldn't have happened.
- beedeebeedee 3mo agoHa ha! Wow, the level of ignorance is staggering
- zzrrt 3mo agoI flagged the OP because it's old, but your story is relevant and interesting, as it seems the incorrect map was AI-generated.
- ASalazarMX 3mo ago> The State Department said it took “full responsibility” for the confusion Love the childish damage control. What was the alternative, "A hacker edited our slides to embarrass us"?
- clark-kent 3mo agoWhy would Wakanda need their aid /s

- nde 3mo agoThis is from 2019
- DrJokepu 3mo agoFive bucks says they have used an LLM to put the list together.
- eterm 3mo agoIn 2019 that'd be impressive.
- victorbjorklund 3mo agoI’ll take that bet. It was in 2019.
- mdp2021 3mo agoOk, this one seems to have a twin just released.
