Did the White House use ChatGPT Vibe Code  a retarded formula for our tariffs and then were too dumb to cover it up?

Yes. Here's the wildest trade story you missed today 🧵👇

1/
Markets were baffled by Trump’s tariffs, as they had been told they would be calculated rates + non-tariff barriers, to have reciprocal tariffs.

But the formula didn't predict the new tariffs at all. 

The numbers were way off, and not reciprocal as claimed.

Enter @JamesSurowiecki.

He reverse-engineered the numbers. 

And what he found was hilarious.  The whole thing seemed to be done as a simple (and very retarded) ratio, (Exports to US) ÷ (Imports from US) = tariff rate(https://x.com/JamesSurowiecki/status/1907559189234196942) which they used ACROSS THE BOARD.

And it gets worse according to @JamesSurowiecki , because they only used the trade deficit in goods.  Meaning the formula is both simple and wrong.

Even though we run a trade surplus in services with the world, people buying imports in the US are getting hit with huge increases

Flexport CEO @typesfast confirms that @JamesSurowiecki's formula 100% predicts the tariffs, (rather than looking at actual trade balance) 

But were only halfway into this story. 

The White House comes out and says @JamesSurowiecki is RETARDED and they very much nuh-uh  did not do the retard formula that he is suggesting, and to PROVE it, they POSTED THE FORMULA.

And.. you guessed it.... 

It was the exact formula that @JamesSurowiecki said it was, but with greek letters to make it look like they did something "mathy and complicated".

But wait, theres more....

So the internet got wind of this checked AI... using ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, and Gemini to see what they would say when asking how to formulate tariff policy.

And... You guessed it. All the LLMS gave the exact retarded formula that the White House Published.

So yes, it looks like the United States is Vibe Governing trade policy at this point. 

GLHF out there.
