Where of course the only thing that actually qualifies as strictly illegal in their eyes (cuffed & hauled in front of a judge, convicted) ain't happening

"obviously the new hires would still be expected to follow the law" says the perfect journalist

"We need an AI that delicately avoids telling you what it actually thinks because if it did you'd stop using it" says the anti-woke man

You cannot separate "I'm firing everybody who threatens my agenda for identity reasons" from "I'm firing everyone who might point out that it's illegal", this is the same lawless evil restated.

Sometimes wives just do that, apparently

How do you tell a presidential-caliber ego that what won in 2020 & 2022 will crash & burn in 2024?

Ideally what happens is we give them everything they need & hand back the mineral rights untouched, problem solved

We cannot win back the reputation & advantage Trump is throwing away but we can at least hope to divest ourselves from what he offers instead

I was told to expect currants & I had better well get them

Red draws the eye & is especially visible in poor conditions; green contrasts best with red (unless you are colorblind, naturally)

I doubt it's *possible* for Trump to be guilty of treason by his understanding of the executive

"The judge is not allowed to dog walk Counsel just because the facts support it, this is problematic & prejudicial"

Oh, is this all of you?

The bigger problem is that the legacy media recognizes the strategy & frames it as "candidate again avoids our hard questions," drowning out any positive value

Stop trying to read with your ass, problem solved

It didn't last but we got the ACA out of it. Maybe that's the trade, the slow demolition of civil society in return for periodic good policy

That's one of the tricky things about being a revolutionary

30 years ago his name was Dave, 15 years ago he was Jason, now it's Tyler, & in 15 years it'll be Aidan, but it's all approximately the same guy

We all know this guy & now that weed is mostly-legal the only reason we still talk to him is if he's related

I think this is basically true but discounts the massive anxiety riding on all of it. You can't separate AG Sulzberger being a self-styled tech CEO who pursues impartiality to absurdity from him being a fourth-gen nepo baby who can never prove to himself that he deserves the big chair

We have ubermenschen who aspire to nothing, hold themselves to no standard, & blame everyone else for their flaws & failures. It's a morality that exists only in opposition!

I hate that terminology because they are without any heathenish sense of martial prowess* or hospitality or reciprocity! *Yes a lot of them are gym rats or are heavily armed, but for them neither national service nor dying in war is virtuous except as it profits the Cause, & that's *alien*

When he shifts into that gear, the transmission is going to grind so hard you'll be able to hear it from the service station

I'm pretty sure what I'm ending up with here is that these collapses of information into patterns are fundamental to language itself as much as they are to LLMs specifically. At this point I am 5 ways outside my subject matter expertise & I have nothing objective to back me up but it's a fun thought

In 2024, sure. But maybe they're not too much those things to consider voting for her, or Pete Buttigieg, or whoever in 2026/28. They certainly seem to be growing unhappy with their decision, & that might well be enough if the stars align.
comment in response to post
Forgive me for completely mixing my metaphors, but as I understand it an LLM tends to reflect reality in much the same way that a transit map tends to reflect the actual geographic layout of a transit system, if transit maps were built from a billion fragmentary approximations sharing a shorthand

budget cuts artfully concealing the worst staffing crisis in a century

And having not intended it absolves them of none of the responsibility. Nothing like getting wrecked by losing farm subsidies or federal paychecks to wake Middle America up to their own foolishness

We elected fascists but even the most hateful holler in Alabama didn't vote for fascists, if you get my drift
