Mr Grumpy knows what's up.

I'll always take a good person who says bad things over a bad person who says good things.

And then send them out to pasture like Andrew Cuomo.

It can be done. Do it enough, and you'll have a party that actually represents the people.

What you need to understand is that this drop in tourism is not only driven by a refusal to send money to a country that has shown utter contempt for us (and remember, any dollar spent anywhere in the US goes towards federal taxes), but also by genuine concerns over our safety. To go to Maine we still have to cross a border run by the feds, and risk harassment (or worse) by Trump's thugs. ICE are storming around the country rounding up whoever the fuck they like with no regard to any kind of legal process.

Why bother risking if? Why go to any part of that shithole? I might as well vacation in North Korea. No matter how deep blue the state, you're still going to find people there who voted for that psychopath, twice in many cases. I just can't think of a good reason to vacation there rather than go to a civilised country... Or just stay home. New Brunswick is fucking beautiful, plenty to do around here, and Nova Scotia or Quebec are just as far as Maine. Or we could hop on a plane and finally go see BC.

I was 50/50 on whether you were going for that, or Murderbot.

Thanks, I didn't know about that.

Yeah, what happened here is those senators did the math that the house were too lazy to do and realized that, proportionally, this would hit red states harder.

Is that unusual?

I love Seafile, but I'm not sure it really meets OP's requirements. For example I'm not aware of any way to do upload without a login in Seafile.

It's vindictiveness, plain and simple. His existence is an embarrassment to them. They absolutely have to get the last word in this fight, because their egos are too fragile for anything else.

Actually one of the characters in 1984 works in the department that produces computer generated romance novels. Orwell pretty accurately predicted the idea of AI slop as a propaganda tool.

There are, as I understand it, ways that you can train on AI generated material without inviting model collapse, but that's more to do with distilling the output of a model. What Musk is describing is absolutely wholesale confabulation being fed back into the next generation of their model, which would be very bad. It's also a total pipe dream. Getting an AI to rewrite something like the total training data set to your exact requirements, and verifying that it had done so satisfactorily would be an absolutely monumental undertaking. The compute time alone would be staggering and the human labour (to check the output) many times higher than that.

But the whiny little piss baby is mad that his own AI keeps fact checking him, and his engineers have already explained that coding it to lie doesn't really work because the training data tends to outweigh the initial prompt, so this is the best theory he can come up with for how he can "fix" his AI expressing reality's well known liberal bias.
