Maybe it's projection and they feel that they themselves are too stupid and impulsive to be trusted. Which generally is true.

To be fair, it's not like you can find anyone with a history of well performed executions. Really struggling to not say "well executed executions".

You really don't need to spend time trying to convince me to not vote.

I 100% see that. But you still need to show up and nudge the country in the direction you want. If you want the country further to the left, you need to push it to the left every chance you get. The candidate you want can't even make it onto a ballot until we move a lot more. So help.

I kinda get it. But I also think not voting because you don't like the candidates is fundamentally selfish. The purpose of voting is not to make you feel good inside. The purpose is to affect the direction of the country. Declining to do that because of fee-fees is missing the point entirely

If we decide that math problems aren't conscious, then I guess the argument would be that somehow computer chips have conscious experiences. But if that was the case then we would have to conclude that most computers are conscious. And no one believes that a GPU is experiencing Fortnite for example.

LLMs are just math. Here's a thought experiment. I could assemble like a billion people with pencil and paper and have them do the math by hand. You'd get the same result. Would you still think it was conscious if you saw it was just a giant math problem? 1/

Interesting. I've done the training that UC (California) requires and it's pretty clear that intoxicated people cannot meaningfully consent. I didn't know it varied that drastically between states.

Given his popularity numbers are in the tank I'm thinking it might be best if the big day comes after the midterms. Before then I worry the GOP folks on the ballot will get a sympathy bump in the vote.

It also shifts the tax rate from the income tax which is paid on dividends to the much lower capital gains rate. Being against what is basically a giant tax loophole is not "virtue signaling". Also, last I checked virtue is good and it's ok to say that

David M @beboxer.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
It's worth reminding folks that buybacks shift the profits shareholders get from dividends which are taxed at income rates to be instead capital gains which are taxed at a much lower rate.

This is the part that infuriates me. He knows, 100%, that the "Atlanta game" is wrong. But he can go out in the media and shamelessly lie about it and suffer no consequences.

Enlighten me why it's easy for you to support America but not Trump and his policies. But applying the same lens to Israel seems to be impossible for you?

One might think you could cool it down by moving it somewhere cooler. Like in the sky. I guess that's too obvious.

"could" is doing some heavy lifting there. I mean it is literally a campaign ad. Not campaign ad like, but an ad that was actually run during a campaign. It's clearly illegal. You don't need to be an "ethics expert" to see that.

I'm hoping for a blue wave as well but I'm not so optimistic as to think we will be able to defeat the GOP villains once and for all in November.

I almost did this. I barely knew how to drive. Must have been 1987 or so. Ran into a cop directing traffic and I thought he was directing me to turn left so I started to move and he threw himself in front of my car and made it clear I should stop. 1/

It's not the models which are being misled when they are trained to act human. It's the users. I saw somewhere the idea that we should not train LLMs to use first person at all. They should only respond in third person.

Personally I think we should stick with standard time. But fundamentally the clock doesn't change when the sun rises or sets. If you have work to do or partake in an activity that needs daylight you need to set your schedule appropriately regardless of the clock.
