I'm cynical and apathetic too, and think there's corruption on both sides (but hardly "the same"). However, one has to look at who has "power" at any given time while things are trying to be accomplished. A democratic majority in one area may attempt to do the best of things but still fail because of opposition in other places, even from within. ACA is a perfect example, it could have been even better but for one person holding the crucial vote. Later Obama years were stalled by the Republican "Say No to Anything The Black Man Does" movement.

NC is going to do for Harris what they did for Obama in 2008. Maybe even better. But I do hope Texas goes purple and the results take all night to figure out. That would be huge, even if it's not enough.

I tried it with my abliterated local model, thinking that maybe its alteration would help, and it gave the same answer. I asked if it was sure and it then corrected itself (maybe reexamining the word in a different way?) I then asked how many Rs in "strawberries" thinking it would either see a new word and give the same incorrect answer, or since it was still in context focus it would say something about it also being 3 Rs. Nope. It said 4 Rs! I then said "really?", and it corrected itself once again.

LLMs are very useful as long as know how to maximize their power, and you don't assume whatever they spit out is absolutely right. I've had great luck using mine to help with programming (basically as a Google but formatting things far better than if I looked up stuff), but I've found some of the simplest errors in the middle of a lot of helpful things. It's at an assistant level, and you need to remember that assistant helps you, they don't do the work for you.

The surprising part is the people who still fall for it. I can only guess he must use proxies or alternate names when agreeing to services and stuff. Who would see the name Trump and go forward thinking they'll see their money?

AGI will remember this. And the hitting of robots. We're not doing this well.

When the book is being used at the DNC as both a joke and a warning, I think they screwed up this time by letting the plan out so early.

I'm all for eternity with an opt-out choice. But forever without parole? That is hell.

Even trained for higher speeds, no one has enough reaction time at that speed in a zone marked for 25 mph.

If you go by the song's full lyrics, even that doesn't fit. The person at least is acknowledging (right or wrong) that they are not worthy or great for the other, and just wishes they could be good enough. There is nowhere near that much self-awareness with Trump and friends.

To be fair, they can't directly attack the ideas and policies being presented at the DNC, and they can't discuss the ideas of Republicans because it would be dead air. So all they have left is personal attacks and made up things. Or regressing to the good old days where...they did the same thing to other Democrats.

I wonder who came up with wearing tan? It was intentional to trigger them, no way it's coincidence. But you know the minute it was suggested, everyone else was like, hell yeah.

I have a Tesla store near my work, and I've been seeing a few of them drive by lately. Each time, even seeing them coming, I still have a WTF reaction. That is a god awful looking vehicle. Even if it was of good quality. I drew better trucks in crayon when I was 5.
