If anyone could critique, and yet continue Popper's series of the Open Society and it Enemies it would be Cass Sunstein. However, still wary of his choice architecture vs Popper's piecemeal social engineering. Seems vastly more exploitative of hidden/unconscious biases. Let him cook though.

Not even soy, corn, nor potatoes are cheaper. Trump has managed to raise prices on goods that we are surfeit with. I guess that is how he bankrupted casinos.

If Trump had actual power of the streets he would have counter protesters in the streets. Trumpists are at home. Never let fascists take over your local streets. Outnumber them. They are cowards who hate ostracization and feeling like the other.

Authoritarians, no matter their expertise level, think they are the experts on everything under the sun. I've never met an authoritarian - be them tankie or MAGA - that did not have an opinion on issues/fields wildly out of their lane/scope.

They intercept a datastream before it is routed to the CPU or out to the cloud and process locally if possible, but can also directly route intelligently - even directly to remote GPUs. It saves power, and reduces latency, making real time AI applications possible in disparate environments.

SmartNICs/DPUs with offloading work. Edge AI devices offloading data in real time environments like industrial automation, video surveillance, IoT, etc reduce latency and cloud/CPU load. For human/AI not so much.
