All I can say is that they aren’t interested in winning elections. Clearly. Their response is pathological, conspiratorial, and antisocial. There is a term which is becoming a bit of a trope, but its been gaining traction over the previous few years, which is simulacrum, a synthetic reality of ones own creation.

Corporate and “centrist” news sources spent decades building up a simulacra for mainstream dems and liberals to inhabit. And when you attack that fantastic world view, one totally unhinged from reality, they take that attack personally, because they’ve lost the attachment between their perceptions of how they think the world should be, and how the world actually is.

I’m so severely sick of dealing with the class of people who lost the election for Democrats in 2024 by refusing to address the fact what the administration had aided and abbetted the whole cloth slaughter of a people and then claim resistance to that was a psyop or conspiracy.

You lost us that election doing so. Please stop.

I just want to point out that if you took the shirts off of three out of four men on this cover, they’d be absolutely shredded.

Wake me up when its the cover of Maxim.

Isn’t Jublilee that debate pervert gangbang channel?

Polling measures preference, not turn out.

Be mindful of this.

As bad as it seems, every time you see a headline you ask “who is this for and who does it work on”.

If you are a ken Paxton voter in Texas last week you are a ken Paxton voter in Texas this week. This headline isn’t for Paxton voters. so who remains?

People who are going to vote Talitico, they’re postivists. People who vote on negative sentiment are already voting for Paxton. So who is left?

This headline is for liberals and coasters.

Are people really that impressed with their private insurance plans?

No, its just the people, generally, are dumb as fuck. They barely know what words mean, let alone what they communicate when they come together into sentences.

I’m gonna push back on this in that you have no idea how or what structural biases are being baked into these. They also are intentionally built to give a sense of neutrality to things that aren’t neutral.

Also, it’s well known at this point that marketers are focusing on slip websites which can get agree gated into ml model training data sets. The new meta is to get your product into the llm and get the llm to recommend you.

They were doing this in the primary.

I was canvassing and a woman whipped out her phone and asked chatgpt which of the candidates most agreed with her. That’s who she said she’d vote for.

And this is why its relevant:

Where Trump took out full page ads in newspapers advocating for bringing back the death penalty specifically for the (now) Exonerated Five. Trump spent his own money to defame these men.

One of these things is not like the other

Central park five. Gee I wonder what the difference might be

Strix halo can support even bigger models, if slower. Also weird to put export controls on something your country doesn’t technically manufacture.

There’s no real stopping people from getting access to the technology required to run these models. And for the wast majority of the questions, speed isn’t as much the issue so much as memory capacity.

Hero.

bingo.

if you have to tell people to not believe the things they observe, think, and feel, immediately prior to an election… well… lets just say that if thats the case, things have not gone as planned.

Remember when Biden and Kamala told US voters " no actually you don’t understand. You’re actually doing pretty well economically"?

Anyways. vibe.

No body reads the terms and conditions.

And yet… here we are.

I’ll let Congress know to ask you if this comes up.
