Those suggesting other candidates should probably address the three issues AOC brought up:

  • Endorsements doesn't transfer
  • Campaign contributions doesn't transfer
  • Possible state level shenanigans by GOP to keep candidates chosen after some technicality off ballot

None of these issues exist if Biden simply steps down.

Don't worry, Nancy wants Newsom to be the candidate.

You did not just fall out of a coconut tree. You exist in a context of all that came before you.

Elon: The EV market has soured on me, I'm willing to trade the tax credits for something...

Don: I got just the thing: you can sell SpaceX satellites to the Russians

Elon: Perfect!

I love it when terrible people do terrible things to their own wealth. What I don't love is how after a certain number of billions, you have an infinite wealth cheat code to fuck around with.

Why should I need to prove a negative? The burden is on the ones claiming an LLM is sentient. LLMs are token predictors, do I need to present evidence of this?

Humans predict things by assigning meaning to events and things, because in nature, we're constantly trying to guess what other creatures are planning. An LLM does not hypothesize what your plans are when you communicate to it, it's just trying to predict the next set of tokens with the greatest reward value. Even if you were to use literal human neurons to build your LLM, you would still have a stochastic parrot.

I mean if you ignore all the papers that point out how dubious the gen AI benchmarks are, then it is very impressive.

WDYM? The big corporations get a free pass to ignore their climate pledges and do the exact opposite.

I must've missed that announcement at the last antifa meetup.

They side with the laws enacted by the people, not the people. And all federal judges are appointed.

This doesn't seem to be working as intended. We have "originalists" who turn that concept on it's head and are explicitly a political project.
