  • Really currious what the overlap in really shitty politics and really shitty behaviors is. I mean obviously we’ve got the blatent shit at both ends like Gingrich, Trump, Sinema etc…

    Clinton, kind of iffy on both ends there, I mean honestly he accomplished a lot of things republicans wanted but couldn’t have done… ripping up Glass-Steagall etc… His affairs could be looked at as far less, but I do have to point out the power dynamics are what should have been the bigger deal than they were. I haven’t heard much on how Weiner’s policies were, I don’t think I’ve heard much on his policies, only his too hard to stop laughing at misconduct.







  • I fully agree as a tool LLMs are amazing. Throw in a config file or code that you know 99% of what it should be, but can’t find what’s wrong… and I’d say there’s a good 70% chance it will find it… maybe chasing down one or 2 red herrings before it solves it.

    The bad rap of course is simply the 2 main factors.

    1. idiots that use it to do the entire coding, and thus wind up with something they themselves don’t have even the basic understanding of how it goes together, so they can’t spot when it does something horrifically wrong.

    2. The overall reality that, no matter how you slice it, it costs an absurd amount to run these things. so… while the AI companies are letting us use these things for free or off really cheap plans, it’s actually costing real money to process, and realistically there’s no sign of it reaching a point where there’s actually a fair trade of value…






  • Always good to know a strong political movement being lead, when the creators, don’t mention a single policy stance, state their past sides were based on which party hired them first… and formerly helped the tea party. So in short, their goal is to find districts of low turnout where voters aren’t arsed to show up… giving an independent candidate a shot, with no indication of what that candidate will stand for.

    If I had to be a betting man, I’m going to assume, it’s going to be just like the tea party with a new strategy. IE it’s stances will be determined by the same money that dominates the existing 2 parties, given the false air of being “independent”, just like the tea party did.


  • The political consiquences of this are unknown. Could mandami be a snake, absolutely, is it possible that behind closed doors he said to trump “I don’t actually believe anything I said, go ahead and send ice in and do whatever you want”… can’t rule it out, wouldn’t be the first time we’ve been screwed (cough fetterman).

    But at the same time… it’s also possible they just said a bunch of platitudes. He just stuck up some charm, redirected his ideas in a way that trump thought they were his own.

    Point is trump is going to have impact, and getting trump to moderately like you, is a good thing and will make enacting your goals easier, even when your goals are directly going to go head to head against trump. Mandami has a lot of goals, and he cannot get them all passed unilaterally. When he actually changes his rhetoric, or doesn’t push for any of the things he said he would, that’s when we call him out. Talking with other leaders, is kind of what politicians are supposed to do.
