  • America has never had free and fair elections. And even if we wanted to change that, voter manipulation via mass and social medias and a wildly divergent educational system have destroyed the foundation of reality-based truth which is required for masses of individuals to make informed decisions and vote accordingly.

    The fact of the matter is that it makes no difference if the election was “stolen” or not. What matters is how people feel, and this country literally wrote the book on propaganda and public relations. What people feel about things can be changed as easily as the script for a news report. It took less than 20 years to rehabituate the reputations of war criminals like Bush and Cheyney, and the Democrats are still seen as a left-wing party despite having moved so far to the right that they make Reagan look like a hippy.

    It’s been so frustrating to have to put up with Democrats that try to enforce a Republican-style party line instead of building the coalition they need to win.

    It’s even more frustrating when they put a hundred times more effort into trying to build a coalition with members of the party they claim to be a threat to Democracy instead of their own left wing.








  • LLMs arent “bad” (ignoring, of course, the massive content theft necessary to train them), but they are being wildly misused.

    “Analysis” is precisely one of those misuses. Grand Theft Autocomplete can’t even count, ask it how many 'e’s are in “elephant” and you’ll get an answer anywhere from 1 to 3.

    This is because they do not read or understand, they produce strings of tokens based on a statistical likelihood of what comes next. If prompted for an analysis they’ll output something that looks like an analysis, but to determine whether it is accurate or not a human has to do the work.
