Maybe he benefits from the divergent results in the legislature? (going to get a Linzian crises though 🫠😬)

Canada did sort of, but only because we directly antagonized their sovereignty. Before that they were pointed to go the same direction

Alas its too much cope imo to pin this all on the ruling class reactionaries because the voters are choosing this shit.

The news from Brazil is quite grim. We really really need to lock in and figure out how to appease the electorate’s continual sense of malaise. Its going to be difficult too because a large portion of it is divorced from actual macro economic reality.

It remains baffling how many people looked at the 2024 results and decided it represented a fundamental realigment election. Sheer lunacy! Now I think there were seeds sprouted there that could have become that (eg in demographic shifts) but trump pissed that away within months.

How would this work? Is there even a chance of FL leg switching?? There probably are not enough court appointments to force the issue there either.

Fwiw the “true believer” AI safety people mean control generally by any person as contrasted with the AI exercising autonomy.

There's going to be a huge influx of users in November, heavily skewed towards elites and journalists as they realize that they need to have their finger on the pulse of the Dem base. My advice: Be nice to the normal people. Treat the journalists like the vermin they are.

Same! But I think being able to analyze that situation correctly is a big indicator of whether you are dooming about jan 2027 or not.

Yeah! People mocked me for saying this could be in play and just look!! (Still probably seat 54+ if it happens but still!!)

How close was the 1/6 mob to successfully preventing Joe Biden from becoming the 46th President? I think any real assessment of that question would be “not at all close”

Its stupid easy to get into credit card debt. If you have a high income the credit lines are insanely high but also I am skeptical this is a big problem.

Look I do not use the dualism line as a sure fire point of disrepute, but I find the people who are trying to dance around it insufferable. Just admit your true feelings!!

This is basically where I am at, but I would sub in moral agent or similar for human. Eg what we care about IMO is when/if/how it can experience suffering and what we should do based on the answer to that.

I personally have issues with reliance on those cannons as the grounding for truth, but the screed on offer here is pure nonsense.

Many people need to learn how to live in a generalized state of congestive dissonance. Trying to internally resolve all possible contradictions will drive you insane.

I have never been happier than to have avoid this whole segment of people in my impressionable years, cause there was certainly a time where this nonsense may have been more palatable to me. Thank heavens it is not now

Personally I do not want Congress to be powerless to preempt state level voting eligibility laws, but YMMV

Michael Anderson @michaelander45.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

That may fail because of temporal characteristics required for some kind of consciousness. Eg the size means the process cannot distribute information at some threshold speed.

The big problem with bad polling is it doesn't tell you your messaging is failing or give you the chance to otherwise pivot that to something else that could stem the bleeding

Michael Anderson @michaelander45.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yes but if the polls are wrong they are wrong and its not clear that spending the money more conservatively would help even if that was the case

Michael Anderson @michaelander45.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

FWIW I do not think storage size would necessarily be a reason to consider that data excluded from the training set as I think you could transiently generate addition or similar low level problem sets algorithmically for training runs

Well it would prevent congress from preempting certain voting restrictions passed in Republican states or purple states when Rs have control
