So far, loudly resisting has not shown to be as effective at winning elections as quietly scheming. Just sayin

It's bad that social security loses about $10B/yr to improper payments... but Trump scammed people out of $15B in TWO DAYS with his and Melania's memecoins.

ok hear me out but if ultracapitalist elon and his racist boy band kill off social security and make a bunch of old republicans miserable would it really be all that bad

it's pretty cool how now every developer in an emerging tech sector has to ask themselves how they're gonna build their product without attracting nazis

Re: deepseek vs o1. It actually kind of is important that the US has better AI than China because stupid Americans will willingly spill every secret imaginable and completely believe whichever one wins. Manipulation on a scale tiktok could never dream of.

This is fair. Excitement always leads to abuse, but we have to recognize it's a phase. What doesn't go viral are the routine, less flashy ways LLMs meaningfully make humans more productive. E.g, no one's talking about how disabled people are already benefiting from generative assistants.

I worry people are not reckoning with what AI can and can't do well. I post about it occasionally, and there are always people who insist that it's just scraping and regurgitating, or even that there's an actual human writing the responses.

Sadly a pretty common theme on this platform. So many people are fucked if their response to AI (and any emerging tech) is to just pretend it isn't happening. Good time to be a plumber, I guess.
