I get the feeling we need to be doing the work the Democrats refused to do: creating a political mandate. Protesting is part of creating that mandate, but one thing I would like to see is the inverse of the "ground game" l; where instead of going door to door to convince people of a solution, you get them involved in the decision process.

I wanna punch the voice that says "but won't the homeless sleep in the bushes?"

They knew the people paying them worked from a Russian timezone, they actually put it in an email.

Replace government with billionaire and your statement is made even more true.

It's all about individual freedom until you start asking libertarians about the rights of kids and contractual indentured servitude.

Those suggesting other candidates should probably address the three issues AOC brought up:

  • Endorsements doesn't transfer
  • Campaign contributions doesn't transfer
  • Possible state level shenanigans by GOP to keep candidates chosen after some technicality off ballot

None of these issues exist if Biden simply steps down.

First of all. You could make facts a token value in an LLM if you had some pre-calculated truth value for your data set.

Why stop there? Just make consciousness a token value. See, AI is such an easy problem that me, a non-expert, is able to solve with just one sentence.

Was wondering if they're using RaG, and they are, but in the worst possible way:

Complicating matters is the fact that Copilot doesn’t always know where to go to find an answer to a particular question, Spataro said. When asked a question about revenue, Copilot won’t necessarily know to go straight to the enterprise financial system of record rather than picking up any revenue-related numbers that appear in emails or documents, he said.

Thing might be rendered useful if you could constrain it to search a particular source or site. And even better, instead of hallucinating it could just give you a link and a citation. We could call it a search engine.

Who do you think the US government works for?

This so much. Getting mad at voters is like getting mad at the weather. These outcomes are predictable and statistical in nature and are influenced by a myriad of interacting systems. Get to work on those systems and be ruthless towards them, but be kind towards people.

Not in picture: the majority of Democrats that support a cease fire.

I think it's cute when siblings dress to match.
