Steven Bannon said it would be good for maga if the felon was assassinated. If Google were not so useless now I could find a link. I heard the clip on a policatal show, probably MeidasTouch

Look at all those maga people nodding their heads to those "dangerous sodalist" ideas. Its almost like as people we have the same basic needs and beliefs. "Workers own this nation" "Cheers Yeah!" Politicians looking slightly nervous... "this is um, good?"

According to Dianeosis, an Athens-based think tank, about 70 percent of Greeks had a favourable view of Russia before the full-blown war in Ukraine. That fell to 50 percent after the 2022 invasion and to 30 percent last year.

North Korea version 2, unpopular you say?

That's fine, it was a forgone conclusion she would dismiss or delay it forever. We finally get the appeal.

But my point is that, that is due to one's choices. You don't actually have to get married, have kids, get on the career treadmill. But also some do not even get to have these choices, so have no choice but to follow a non-traditional path. People with disabilities, people who living in places where they are displayed due to political instability, poverty, war etc.

Someone growing up in Ukraine right now, probably wont consider this to be the happiest time in their lives. A person with a disability struggling to establishing independence over even basic life activities. People who just say f--k it.

Weird article. I think if in your middle aged years you are the most unhappy, its because you have not made the right decisions for yourself. Too many people chase the things they are told will make them happy rather than what they like and know made them happy. Doing what you are "supposed" to do. Alternative paths have their hardship but for me at least, I don't have the kind of complaint I hear from others. You always have to make some kind of compromise...

That is certainly a problem but many (most?) women you ask, are paying attention to what threatens their lives and puts them into a second class status. And its not just the supposed radical leftist either. There have been and will be plenty of "good" god fearing families who get into trouble with their pregnancies and experience some true horror. Then when you get into IVF and contraception... banning porn etc.

That is pretty interesting and thanks for posting it. I hear the words and its intriguing but to be honest, I don't really understand it. I'd have to give it some thought and read more about it. Do you have a place you suggest going to learn more?

I use chatgpt-4o currently for learning python and helping with grammar. I find it does great with grammar but even with relatively simple python questions it can produce some "creative" answers. Like its in the ball park but its not perfect and for a learner, that's learning the hard way. To be fair I don't use the assistant/code interpreter, which I have no idea about but based on its name I assume it might be better. So that's what I based my somewhat skeptical opinion of ai on.

Or his 2 impeachments. Or inciting an insurrection. He's got a few areas to fall back on. Who knows maybe he'll make some more memories.

Journalists seem to think this is a game. People have already seen the consequences and how they directly effect their own lives. Women (and families in general) wont forget Roe and it will have impact on an ongoing basis. Most sane people wont forget Jan 6th. People who are paying attention are not going to forget the violent rhetoric and stochastic terrorism, promises of retribution and being a dictator on day 1 etc.

From my understanding, AI is a essentially a statistical method so naturally it will use a confidence level. Its hard for me to take the leap of faith to confidence level will correlate to accuracy. Seems to me it would be more dependent on its data set. If its data contains a commonly held belief, that is incorrect, would it not have a high confidence level on an answer with that incorrect info? If we use a highly authoritative data set, that will be very limited and we'd be back to more of a keyword system than a LLM. I am sure with time, we'll be in more of a middle ground where accuracy will be better but what will that be? 5% 3% 10%?

I'll freely admit I am not an expert in this at all.

I don't even know how to check who has upvoted on beehaw. You sound a bit paranoid, maybe people just agree?

The speech was exceptional and every politician uses a teleprompter. So there is nothing to ignore. His SOTU was exceptional and one of the best I have heard in my life. His speech prior to his responses to reporters at NATO was ok. His mistakes were unfortunate but the content was very good and critically important to what we need. His responses unscripted to reporters on policy were excellent.

"He fails… EVERY time. " except when he doesn't.

He is the dem candidate. Like every person he has his faults and I don't agree with him on everything. I'd like to see a progressive instead but that is not realistic right now, so he has my support. Otherwise you are supporting the felon, Putin, Orban and insanity.

So you are ignoring the part about his NATO policy comments. I guess so you can stick with what you've already decided. Got it.

That is so funny.

chatgpt: "Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a transformative investment opportunity, characterized by robust growth potential and broad applicability across industries. The AI market, projected to exceed $190 billion by 2025, offers substantial upside in sectors such as healthcare, finance, automotive, and e-commerce. As businesses increasingly adopt AI to enhance efficiency and innovation, associated firms are poised for significant returns. Key investment areas include machine learning, natural language processing, robotics, and AI-driven analytics. Despite risks like regulatory challenges and ethical concerns, the strategic deployment of capital in AI technologies holds promise for long-term value creation. Diversification within this space is advisable to mitigate volatility."

It wont know it doesn't know. At the current state of AI, it doesn't seem to have almost any sense of what is right and wrong or a way to validate that - even when you tell it, it is wrong. Maybe there are systems that can but I am not aware of them.

That seems entirely plausible for the staffing change. But Intuit is more than their tax software for example Quickbooks isn't going anywhere. I am sure they do other stuff, probably payment processing and I don't know what else. So they will survive at some level, it would be hard to kill Quickbooks.

So you think he did a good job? We agree.

But I thought the narrative was that he was a senile old man who can put two words together? When you watched his responses to reporters at his NATO press conference, he wasn't going from a teleprompter and spoke well on policy issues. But yeah, he makes mistakes when speaking, so his ability to talk policy doesn't matter I guess.

I'm dyslexic and visually impaired, I make mistakes despite using a grammar checker. My teachers used to tell me I was careless and lazy. Your comment made me laugh though, thanks.

Here is his fantastic Detroit speech from today.
