Yeah, the Internet connection between Russia and everywhere else went down, and the number of right-wing trolls plummeted.

“Watch for the voter fraud because we win without voter fraud,” Trump said. “We win so easily. Hopefully, we’re going to win anyway. But we want to keep it down."

Yeah, this is just him doing more to set up January 6 Part 2.

It’s kind of amazing how upfront they are about it

The Republican response is literally that they’re going to defund the IRS. If there weren’t 100 other things demonstrating that the Republican party serves the ultra rich, and not the people, it would be astonishing.

Trump worships the super rich and the fascist dictators, and is incapable of empathizing with people who feel differently.

Yeah, I’m far from anti-AI, but we’re just not anywhere close to where people think we are with it. And I’m pretty sick of corporate leadership saying “We need to make more use of AI” without knowing the difference between an LLM and a machine learning application, or having any idea *how" their company could make use of one of the technologies.

It really feels like one of those hammer in search of a nail things.

What people mean by AI has been changing for as long as the term has been used. When I was studying CS in the 80s, people said the holy grail was giving a computer printed English text and having it read it aloud. It wasn’t much later that OCR and text to speech software was commonplace.

Generally, when people say AI, they mean a computer doing something that normally takes a human, and that bar goes up all the time.

LLMs don’t “understand” anything, and it’s unfortunate that we’ve taken to using language related to human thinking to talk about software. It’s all data processing and models.

You’re exactly right. She’s not a moderate, she’s hard right. Staunch Republican in every way except support for a criminal. But because of that, she’s not really a Republican to them. Crazy.

Cheney’s policy positions and voting record put her away out to the right, but at least she seems to have principles and a back bone, unlike the vast majority of Republican politicians.

Only if you make it clear that the guy is at the very least a Nazi sympathizer. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who would assume you were being pro Musk and pro Carlson if you just posted the image without explanation.

Plus you’re just giving the site activity. Deleting your account would be a much better statement.

I really agree. They said that Trump’s people want the mics off because it will keep him from looking as bad and Harris’ want them on for the same reason, but I’d actually like to hear what they say, so mics off seems better.

I’m a little bit of a technophile, but I have very little patience for technology that doesn’t buy me anything that I care about. So I don’t want my washing machine connected to the Internet, but that bird’s eye view makes me giddy happy.

It kicks on when you’re parking, so you can see your car in a top-down view with all the lines and obstacles. When I drive our other car that doesn’t have it, it’s the thing I miss the most.

Some is great and much appreciated. For instance I love the things that takes the camera feeds and creates a simulated top down view. But some things are just useless and needless.

I think the difference is likely that this is a trial. The woman likely didn’t pay for it, and they didn’t want her to because they don’t want anyone owning their tech while it’s being developed.

And there you have the proof that all his “alternative to both Biden and Trump” was bullshit. He was only ever a spoiler for Democrats, so he’s dropping out because they realized he was taking more votes from Trump. Those guys just can’t do anything on the level.

My take is he just didn’t want to answer anymore questions. Probably not planned in advance, he was just making an excuse to get out of there.

I love that applause she got, and how clearly, genuinely she was touched by it.

I struggled a bit selecting a candidate in the 2020 primary, but ultimately voted for Warren. I think she would have done well, but I was fine voting for Biden in the general, and so happy with all he accomplished.

The two good things about high ratings are:

1. It shows engagement is high
2. It’s the kind of metric that Trump cares deeply about

But yes, polls, ratings, news articles, and all those things didn’t matter, just election votes matter.
