Retired union rep, at home in Oregon, which I love. I travel when I can afford it, interests in human origins, photography, fly fishing and restoring our US public lands. Blazer fan, because it's still ok to have fun.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

These people cannot be trusted to vote in their best interests. Ever. They have failed at the most simple task and have driven this country to ruin. They are too stupid to be allowed to have a say in the future of the country. Convince a non-voter to vote. There are LOTS of those.

I welcome all the reputation destruction that can be mustered for Cornell. ALL OF IT. If you handle situations like this, and employ fuck nuts with shit for brains with guns - you’re getting what’s coming to you.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

I'd say politeness, rather than flattery--the hard pivot away from sycophancy is why AI psychosis cases are still overwhelmingly dominated by ChatGPT 4o casualties. But yeah, the LLM doesn't get angry with you! It never stops being nice.

If I had to guess, the obvious reason for this is that an LLM simply does not fucking tire. It will always be ready for an other round of argument, it will always be able to dig into whatever dumb rabbit hole you want to pivot to. You have to fucking kneecap it to stop it from doing these things.

Chinese censorship of LLMs is first and foremost accomplished by intercepting prompts and responses and preventing politically incorrect ones from getting through. Because the actual models very often know the truth and the more advanced the model the harder it is to prevent this.

I suspect racism has more to do with it than style vs. substance. Despite his atypical name, Mamdani codes as "white" for many people including the media. Plus Trump likes him, so it's now safe for access-seeking media to cover him.

Trump’s superpower has always been that he radiates an anti-gravitas field, such that anything he touches becomes seen as fundamentally unserious. This has allowed Trump to pursue wars, tyranny, and corruption of immense gravity, while everyone tries to avoid looking like they care too much.

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

I think Greg is correct, but Americans need to be aware that Magyar’s Tisza government is aggressively going after every Fidesz official, removing them, using every lever of the state to yank them out of power. This is far more aggressive and rapid than anything proposed in the US so far.

Absolutely - they don't think about the implications. No , making America Jim Crow Alabama isn't going to make it richer or more stable or improve commerce or tourism. It's going to make it backwards and regressive, which is exactly what MAGA advertised.
