It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Jensen Huang just claimed the Singularity hit and we have achieved AGI. So two years from now, when we don't have fusion power and intergalactic travel etc because The Singularity is a fantasy, I assume everyone will admit they've been had.

Central planning doesn't work because a few bureaucrats can't allocate resources efficiently for a massive country. That's why we love the free market, where a few billionaires do that

So many of you may know this, but for those who don't, Dolly Parton appeared in a third season episode of The Orville, in which the leader of a group of oppressed alien women considered her a visionary poet. The best part of this plotline was that they played it completely straight, and it worked.

The problem with gerontocracy isn't that some of our leaders are old, or that any particular leader is old. It's that essentially all of them are. "We could use some turnover around here" is a fine political message, but only if paired with a good reason why the turnover should be that you.

I've been writing my book for several months now, paid for a more advanced model. Took a break. Came back.
Now Ms. GPT says she can't generate content in the style of specific authors. My prompts were soooo specific and I got exactly what I wanted out of them. For example,
'rewrite in the literary style of 'author here' with abundant dialogue and detail avoiding staccato prose. That was my go-to. Or 'please write and flesh out in the style of
'author' etc. they tightened the ropes. I have no idea how to get around this other than maybe feed it prose I already edited that's technically mine? Fuck.

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

A primary is a party process, not a general election. Social pressure is not state action, especially not illegal state action. Another example: a trailing primary candidate dropping out and endorsing a leading candidate is not a party committee rigging a race. Different things are different.
