"A U.S. government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a State Department presentation at a global conference in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attendees who took screenshots and posted them online.

Reuters viewed a video of the presentation given at the AIDS 2026 conference in Rio de Janeiro, which shows the errant map displayed halfway during a presentation about the State Department's new health agreements.

A Reuters analysis found the image of the map included in the presentation contained an artificial intelligence watermark that signals it was made with OpenAI tools. The company did not respond to a request for comment."

And the empty heads of the inter-galactically incompetent Trumpf junta sunsetted the CIA World Factbook, which everyone in the USG and the world referred to.

I used to refer to the 'CIA World Factbook' all the time. Now I have to dig through all the minutia on Google to find the same sort of data.

The mistakes were instantly recognized by everyone not a Trump person.

When knowledge becomes elitism we are governed by hillbillies and savages.

Although betcha creating an earth-moon diagram might leave them fatigued.
