how is this news at all. it was far most likely a dev/someone testing something and accidentally added it to prod.
verdverm•49m ago
considering all the other Ai snafus from this admin, I'd put my money on that being more likely

Someone in the administration used too much A1 on their steak
Jtsummers•41m ago
This happened in 2019, unless time travel is possible it's probably not an "Ai snafu".

It's that damned Jabari tribe lobby in Washington pulling all the levers behind the scenes

If Wakanda existed I’d have moved my family there years ago. America is embarrassing af.

How do you know this isn’t a marvel character’s HN post?
tolugenius•48m ago
This is a 2019 article. There was a more recent mishap (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/us-gov...) which is still bad.

Why would Wakanda need their aid /s

Missing (2019) - this story is seven years old.

This is from 2019

Five bucks says they have used an LLM to put the list together.
eterm•43m ago
In 2019 that'd be impressive.
victorbjorklund•43m ago
I’ll take that bet. It was in 2019.
