They can negotiate with Iran, but not with El Salvador?

The effectiveness of "whataboutism" lies in tying up an adversary's resources. It very well be used against political narratives in the same means as fire can be used to fight fire.

"What would Nixon do?" now seems to be the official strategy of the Trump DOJ.

It's their single largest procurement this year:

I thought it was back in July when SCOTUS granted ambiguous degrees of immunity to the office of the president. Dems didn't do anything then because they had neither a plan nor spine. I doubt they have anything but hope now.

That's still not even close to what OpenAI is spending, and what people seem to miss is their improvements on RL. That development is already seeing replication. They've brought ML research that required the capital of a nation-state down to that of a university. The moat is obliterated.

You're straw manning. The claim I made is that democrats are not infallible, though they are profoundly incompetent and arrogant about that fact. This alienates even minorities who might be better served by their policies, if democrats could in fact enact them permanently.

If it were segregation, how'd democrats lose so many minority voters to begin with? Doubling down on a narrative that didn't inspire to begin with sounds like a terrible strategy. Throw in that Trump tried to rig the 2020 election and there's no reason to believe democracy is getting us out.

Democrats lost ground amongst each racial minority last election cycle. I would have thought that would have given them some humility, but wow.

You're talking with hindsight bias. Surely they taught you about that as an undergrad.

Fascism can be handled with politics? I mean, Neville Chamberlain thought so, but it didn't turn out to well for him.

Are you advocating for overthrowing the federal government or adding a hashtag on social media? Because if a government is willing to commit an actual genocide, I'm pretty sure lobbying them isn't going to stop it.

If it's fascism, the proper response is revolutionary war. If it's not, it's democratic process. Pick one and stick with it.

Tell that to the black voters who voted for him. Tell them that you really know better and that it's not just hyperbole. That's how you get Candice Owens as the first female president.

Just because I criticize democrats doesn't mean I support Trump.
The notions that Trump is a zeitgeist ushering in a wave of fascism and that violence should be a last resort are incompatible. So, either you don't really believe, or you're a hypocrite stuck in cognitive dissonance.

You literally believe you're immune to cognitive bias despite having the same neural machinery as every person which has ever existed. The is dense.

I make one comment, then get thirty telling me how wrong I am. Look around, you're on liberal Twitter.

I can go post the same thing on another social media site in the same context and get thousands. The only difference is one echo chamber is biased one way and the other the opposite way.

If you believed a fifth of the claims democrats are making about this particular administration, you would be preparing for violent revolution, not advocating for social media.

Democrats have continued to talk down and hold in contempt voters whom they need to win elections. That is the attitude of perpetual losers.

There is no righteousness in politics. There's competence and incompetence, but no righteousness. Democrats have been the latter, and smug about it, for at least a decade.

Why would I do that when I can ruin your bash your perfect little echo chamber?

Enhancing one's worst features really doesn't seem like the kind of adaptation that would lead them to thrive.

My god damned bat shit crazy father took my mother's lupus medications and sold them because some crazy idiot said they cure COVID. At this point, he knows exactly what I'll do to him if it happens again. Try handling that while trying to manage graduate education you presumptuous jackass.

Sure, but this is a red herring. What is at issue is that left-leaning advocates can see clearly when the right uses such tactics, but are completely blind to when their own uses red herrings, or poison pills for that matter.

From the minorities I have met in Georgia that voted for Trump, the reason has always been the democratic party hasn't held up the standards they claim. He won because of democrat incompetence.

The notion that any one political doctrine has all the best answers, all the time, is the most absurd thing I have ever heard.

Tell me you live in an echo chamber without saying “I live in an echo chamber.” I can go on social media and drag up the same sentiment from right leaning groups along with a thousand grievances detailing why. There’s no reason I should accept this nonsense anymore from the left than the right.

Okay, but was this the online version, or the local version? Censorship doesn't seem to be much of an issue in the localized full version of R-1. I haven't seen many try the distilled versions other than basic benchmarks.

Take note it can be run locally or via AWS through a private account and avoid this. It can also be run through Groq, but that still sends data. Every social media, communication, or productivity app will still have that string attached.

Necessity is the mother of all invention. The U.S. denied China the tools to train AI models outright, so China innovated.

Joshua Bailey at SWCA Environmental Consultants might be able to help you. He's built ML models for detecting marine biodiversity before. If not, maybe ask Dr. Josh Starmer at Chapel Hill. He's a geneticist turned ML engineer. They may not know, but between them they probably know who would.
