LLM chatbots are not beings capable of knowledge and cognition*, they are simply statistical machines which do brute-force pattern-matching at scale, because the key innovation behind them is "just not caring how wildly inefficient this is".

They will 100% blame this on the protesters and nightly news will be running stories about cops being injured

We do not need to triangulate on taking resources away from the jackboot thugs, and another failure to do so when we have the power could very well be fatal, as the ongoing LAPD brutality today demonstrates. This is a life or death proposition for anyone to the left of Mitch McConnell

I’m at a protest with a whole bunch of octogenarians leading chants about how transphobia has go to go and I wish the paid consultant class who are always trying to triangulate the party into meaninglessness would talk to a few of them.

just please remember, whatever the news says about LA after this, that this is *always* how it goes. Everything is extremely calm until the police actively escalate for no reason. It was true during all the BLM protests and it’s true now.
