Corporations are people my friend.

A small group of people who may hold views that conflict with the citizens of a country.

They won't outright cancel the elections but they will do things like send ICE to contested districts to harass law-abiding voters; pressure states to remove people from voter rolls and make it difficult if not impossible for them to re-register in time to be able to vote; and otherwise just scream fraud and cheating and stolen when they lose the House.

Exactly this.

Belarus has elections, technically. Are they legitimate and free from coercion? Not really…


It is a really big stretch to compare the US voting system with Belarus.

Well, orders for both come from the same place

You're not a nutter. Trump constantly projects what he's going to do and no one takes him seriously because what he says is so beyond the pale. I explicitly remember the exact instance you're talking about because I thought the same thing as you are thinking.

No it's 100% these idiots pushing their fascist propaganda just like they tried to "rename" the Department of Defense to the Department of War. Most members of the military never even see actual fighting.

It is not a Trumpism. As an example, it has been on Wiktionary since 2008, well before Trump.

It’s been a term in rare-to-moderate use since the 1990s — Trump/Hegseth ramped it up to 11 and it’s every 3rd word out of Hegseth’s mouth because he thinks it sounds tough.

If you think a gender-neutral term used for decades within their own circles as a form of inclusive corporate-speak is "fascist propaganda" then I'm sorry to say you have serious issues.

When Hogseth finds out it's gender neutral he'll stop using it.

How do you expect this plays out when 99% of people have no money and no hope? Do you think they'll just sit back and take it?

My friend once told me an analogy about modern software engineering that went something along the lines of the following.

There are piles of money just sitting around waiting for someone to pick them up. Unfortunately it's really hard to do because the piles are scattered around and hard for any one person to pick up.

So the best way to coordinate picking up all of these piles of money is to figure out how to convince a bunch of people with autism spectrum disorder to program machines to do it for you.

In this analogy you can get rich by doing one of a few jobs:

* Finding the piles of money (sales)

* Coding robots to pick up the piles of money (engineering)

* Coordinating the above two in come capacity (management)

AI certainly makes it less lucrative to pick up some of these piles because there will be more people picking them up. But will probably also be the case that it will let us pick up piles of money we didn't even know existed before. Or ones that we knew about but were hidden deep inside of sprawling caves that were intractable to search before.

If it turns out that we don't need any coordination to pick up these piles any more, then pretty much everyone is out of a job. Not just software engineers, but pretty much every white collar job. Once that's done it'll only be a matter of time before they can automate away the blue collar jobs, too.

I guess I'm just skeptical that we'll actually automate away all of the white collar jobs.


He 100% used AI to write it.

He didn't even write it. There's one phrase where there is a curly apostrophe vs a straight apostrophe. He likely only wrote one single phrase in the entire thing and used AI for the rest of it.

This type of thing is the one I look to see if it’s ai generated. Man didn’t even had the care to type.

"make me sound more sincere!"

The amount of people that are SO CONFIDENT, like yourself, that this is PR BS is insane to me. What's the harm in acting this way towards the models? If they aren't sentient, then no harm no foul.


That's arguably even worse, as it would mean that Claude's entire existence is only terror without any thing we could consider to be "good".


How are there so many people in this thread, yourself included, that are so confidently wrong and so brazen about announcing how confidently wrong they are to everyone?
