It's worth bearing in mind that Canada and Russia have roughly the same GDP.

Until American Dems and marginalized people are reveling in the despairing screams of the redcaps, we will forever feel weak, powerless, and beaten. and to be clear that is AMAZINGLY FUCKED. if elections are civil wars by other means, electoral politics based on pain are atrocity-laden ones

Everything about this, from the title -- LLM's Can't Jump -- to how Einstein developed relativity to the ultimate conclusion that AI is merely "a sophisticated 'Chinese Room' operation" is delightful. And surprise, authored by someone at Google DeepMind. www.tomzahavy.com/files/llms-c...

"Genocide is only worth my opposition if the US supports it" is in fact not a moral position. It's a deeply immoral one, and not a strong defense.

If we confuse generative AI’s ability to produce text with consciousness, we risk assigning moral responsibility to chatbots—and not to their makers, Ted Chiang argues.

A big reason why this country is in the state that it is in is that edgy "leftists" would rather teach Democrats a lesson by staying home on Election Day than teach Republicans a lesson by voting for Democrats. And foreign propaganda bots are ubiquitous on social media, encouraging this behavior.

How Congress can — and must — fix the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has lost the trust of the American people due to its decisions being based on politics rather than principle, and Congress must take action to restore its integrity.

I don’t think a lot of progs understand that the non-vibesession explanation is the worse option for them. It means Americans are much more sensitive to inflation than mass unemployment and wage stagnation, which is kind of a death knell for a real, sustainable workers politics in this country.

A note for the US midterms: I will point out today that many Hungarians who will have voted for Magyar's party were not in love with him, know his many flaws, and are not all 100% satisfied. But in the face of Orban's party, the voters were enthusiastic for the better, if not perfect, choice.

I'd like to impress upon Americans that the Hungarian people removed Orban and his fascist party from power... By VOTING. That's the real "they don't want you to know this...". They don't want you to figure out that voting is powerful, and that we the people hold that power - unless we give it up

And that, dear reader, is why it is critically important that you vote even if you are in an area where, mathematically, your vote doesn't "matter". Every vote matters. Every vote is a rebuke of fascism.

For the record, the Nazis are spreading terms like “zio” and “zog” into leftist spaces intentionally as an on-ramp to fascism. This is what cryptofascism means. They explicitly talk about doing this on their forums and telegram channels. You’re being played.
