Republicans also won the house and senate.

With the combined total of a right controlled presidency, congress, and supreme court what can’t they do?

If he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.

He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn’t make him a good puppet master.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it’s stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.

I don’t think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it’s value to come back and buy it on the cheap.

This would he concerning if I wasn’t convince that Walz would sit him down and correct him like a disappointed father.

If anyone could make a politician seem like a child to their face it’d be him, and especially if that politician is Vance.

Hopefully the loopholes of executive power that enabled that crackpot plan will be closed up by then…

Yeah I know, a lot to ask for.

While watching the debate it was funny watching Trump say she’ll end fracking like that’s a bad thing (though even with green energy, I do admit we’d still need it for plastic).

I joked “next he’ll attack her by saying she’ll drive up green energy” then he literally did. Said she’d return to windmills and dare to use desert land for solar panels, oh the humanity xD.

Thing is Trump made his most ridiculous statements highly memeable.

“They’re eating the dogs!” is gonna live on like “They’re turning the fricken frogs gay!”

That might draw enough of the disinterested crowd to figure out what happened that night.

The people can, but companies still need some kind of income to exist. The owners/ceos will just golden parachute away from the corpse

In order to tangibly pay employees/rent/servers a company needs either profits, subsidies, or a ponzi scheme inflated stocks.

May be unpopular opinion but I think this strategy they’re going for of appealing to Republicans may work to get real change.

In the past we’d offer an olive branch and the republicans would burn the tree down. However if they can effectively split the GOP into republican vs MAGA, maybe the republicans will be less evil or ignorant towards legislation. Enemy of my enemy is my friend.

If they can jack knife the republican party, maybe it’ll move the whole left/right system away from the extreme right and let us stop pretending the alt-right cult deserves any official respect or recognition.

I’m not advocating for letting the right do whatever they want or drag us down. More like I wanna coax them towards the most basic of basic of decency so we don’t get literal threats to democracy anymore.

There’s an idea on the internet that you can manifest certain things into reality by visualizing it really hard. Here it’s being used in a joking sense almost like trying to cast a hex on Trump.

Eeeeeh maybe not “CP settings”…

Really feels like they drank their own Kool Aid, over confident fighting against Biden.

Honestly it was working, Biden would not have galvanized people to actually read that shit and make it a real threat. It really felt like the Democrats were just gonna let Republicans do whatever they want again like always. Then Harris came in and declared the emperor had no clothes and it’s releasing a ton of pent up resentment for Trump from both sides.

Theoretically we could slow down training and coast on fine-tuning existing models. Once the AI’s trained they don’t take that much energy to run.

Everyone was racing towards “bigger is better” because it worked up to GPT4, but word on the street is that raw training is giving diminishing returns so the massive spending on compute is just a waste now.

I feel this would work in theory, but in practice the path of least resistance for a political party wouldn’t be to appeal to young voters and teach policy. It would be to crank up the indoctrination machine and encourage parents to do so too.

I’m sure some families would teach their children how the world works, but most would just not change; or they’d indoctrinate and abuse their kids to supporting their political party (even harder than before).

People like Mr.Beast gain their massive success from producing overstimulating content that attracts a forever young audience that doesn’t recognize the basic manipulation and scams that he employs.

This is what politics would turn into if we earnestly let kids vote. Manipulating child audiences is practically a science now.

Even discounting that, in 2016 when I was 16 I was a “both sides are bad” centrist type. I simply didn’t have the roots to consider how things like basic public policies would affect me personally. You need some grounded experience in order to realize that the things on screen will affect you and your community directly.

Exactly why he feels like a great pick. He didn’t over engineer some tagline to game the attention economy.

He just said what the silent majority is thinking in a down to earth “this is so obvious” kind of way. These people are just weird and ruining the family gathering.

I’m just hoping Kamala and him are able to give America the Minnesota treatment. We won’t need these state reforms if they happen on the federal level instead.

What resonated with me is people calling LLMs and Stable Diffusion “copyright laundering”. If copyright ever swung in AI’s favor it would be super easy to train an AI on stuff you want to steal, add in some generic training, and now you have a “new” piece of art.

LLMs and Stable Diffusion are just compression algorithms for abstract patterns, only one level above data.

Huh, very valid points. I guess I was assuming casual racism that would come from only appearances and assumptions. But you are right that economic class heavily impacts the discrimination a person faces and that’s specifically where african americans have been hit the hardest historically.

Thanks for providing more context.

Here’s what I don’t get, regardless of if your black or indian, if you grew up in america with dark skin you likely have faced all the same struggles that any black voter would care about.

Edit: Assumptions got challenged, read replies.

So even if he was right (he’s not, he’s what physicists would call “not even wrong”), so what? Are racists any less racist to indians than african americans?

I don’t get the playbook here, non-racists would just be confused and racists would still be racists.
