Okay here's what this small model I can host locally has to say in it's reasoning mode. I'm building out an app for my local Alice is Missing games and washed it through this model to surface it's "thinking mode". This BTW isn't the answer, this is what it created to create it's answer.

Listed as a troll account *and* "a very british bigotry". Now we just need him to screech at Bouie for the hat trick so he can get on the "Weird Bouie Reply Guy" list.

The funny thing is that this is so unhinged I just assume it's in bad faith and a "bitch eating crackers" centrist lib hating Mamdani moment.

This is literally entirely avoidable and predictable. You know how many people are showing up, you know how many internet connections your wifi supports, you know the available bandwidth. In IT this is remedial stuff. This is a level of willful negligence I rarely see.

Worth pointing out that the best mea culpa I've seen so far on the Platner thing has been Naomi Klein.

flatline42.bsky.social @flatline42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
Look another one to block. Apparently this time Platner gets a "but" from her because.... Clinton probably sexually assaulted women and she's "tired of the hypocrisy"? The out of left field trail running ad in German makes me wonder if this is a bot at any rate. Either way, easy block.

Not that it matters but she did actually come out with the first NYT story she just didn't want people treating her *exactly the way you are right now* and it is shameful that she accurately came away from an assault feeling this way. For the love of Christ man you are vulgar.

Surprisingly little. Including a few "aged like milk" takes. Lots of reposts, about 50/50, of McConnell being dead and people bailing on Platner.

They wouldn't be in such a bad spot if they delivered occasionally. Moderates largely lost me at this moment back in 2015. I largely suspect that this is still how they feel 10 years of failure later.

The Democratic party leadership just sucks. Imagine saying that Mamdani should have to "smooth over" the relation with congress because he was advocating for his politics. Maybe the Democratic party are the nihilists. "Vote blue no matter who. No not that way. Apologize for that."

Kinda impressive he manages to cover Platner with the blanket of "victim of institutional racism".
"Why this doesn't work as a joke or a statement? lol Every last non-white person in america's history with tattoos has been judged as a criminal or up to no good by white people. To one degree or another. So all this falls flat as fuck. lmfao"

Yup it's a negative. Had to crank the density, white point, and black point to "this is a joke right?" levels but I got a pretty good result.

Apropos of something...
Disco Elysium quote

Joyce Messier- "I can't. That's how simple it is. One may dye their hair green and wear their grandma's coat all they want. Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would *critique* capital end up *reinforcing* it instead..."

Like the entire piece is worth reading but this whole section on the Business Idiot hits close to home.
AI is a perfect storm of failed concepts and organizations, and the apex of the Era of the Business Idiot, an epoch where we’re ruled by people so thoroughly disconnected from the actual workforce that it was inevitable that a technology would be created specifically to grift them.

LLMs are dangerous for many, many reasons, but the under-discussed one is how well they play to a certain kind of executive imbecile. Generative AI is — to quote Mo Bitar — really good at doing an impression of work, much like most managers and c-suite executives, and even if it’s completely incapable of doing something, it’ll absolutely say it can and tell you you’re amazing for suggesting it.A Business Idiot, given his druthers, can sit there and fuck around and make an LLM spit out something that makes him feel like he’s coding, which in turn makes him feel that you, a lazy and stupid engineer, could do even more with the power of AI. It doesn’t matter that it costs an absolute shit-ton of money, or that there’s no way to measure its efficacy. The Lion does not concern himself with things like “efficacy” or “productivity,” and the Lion is increasingly tired of your whining! The Lion doesn’t even understand what it is you do every day other than not doing what The Lion is asking for!

You laugh, but this is genuinely how the majority of managers and executives think and act, and now they have a special chatbot that can fart out functional-enough prototypes to convince a Business Idiot they can do anything, because executives and managers do not regularly do much work and thus have no idea what it looks like other than when they look over your shoulder, which is why they wanted you back in the office!
