will see his fellow elected pedophile protectors jump over to the side of releasing out of fear. And if he *still* won't call Congress back into session, I guarantee they'll either supersede his authority or oust him in favor of someone who will call them back. Even if they have to break rules, ...

It doesn't really matter. Johnson *has* to know he can't run the clock forever; the longer he runs it, the more magats will come to realize it's their own party screwing them over. The MAGAts will get angry, and since they're so prone to violence, the longer they're angry, the more likely Johnson...

Do they… do they think we’re going to forget about the Epstein thing? No, right?

Oh, just found an interesting Youtube short; evidently AI fucks itself up so bad it can't beat the first level of 1977 chess game.

I love how his defense is "Other presidents have added onto the White House!" Totally neglecting the fact they *ADDED* onto the fucking structure, not tore a chunk of it out and replaced it. *ADDING* a ballroom would have been perfectly fine. Traitor destroyed part of the building to put it in.

No worries, figured it was a simple oopsie.

I think you had a brain fart there. '<# of specific event> per year' is indeed a rate.

Tbf, for the powers that be, this is kinda normal, we've just reached a point where they no longer hide it.

Kinda wild that Mamdani and Sliwa are the guys who won their primaries and there has been open, nonstop meddling to overturn that will of the voters and install the disgraced former governor and it’s largely being covered like this is perfectly normal shit

If it helps, it's a myth the frogs will stay in the pot. They'll act like any other creature will when the area they're in gets too warm for comfort, they'll leave or take actions to cool the area or themselves down, if able. This is us attempting to cool the area.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

I need to correct myself, seems there's more living relatives who've simply not gone down that path, they just also haven't sought public attention or been cast in the limelight for any reason. I don't blame them.

absolutely need a *HUGE* range of experience in specialized fields (which only gets wider as LLMs are forced into more and more fields in a desperate search for profit) in order to make sure the information going in is as accurate as possible. And they'd have to repeatedly do this, as science is...

you honestly think *any* capitalist company is going to even consider such a course of action given how much it would cost and how many people it would require, how specialized they'd have to be? We're talking people who not only have extensive experience with LLMs, but a team of people who would...

Actually it *is* AI "data" that causes problems. As the companies running these LLMs steals more data to train them off of, they're also going to get the inaccurate outputs and incorrect outputs from both themselves and other LLMs, which will throw off their calculations as to the correct string...

As bad as it's going to be, I want the AI bubble to burst so soon so badly. Partly because I want the powers that be to stop trying to force it down my throat, but also because the longer it takes to pop, the more parts of the economy it will have been shoved into and worsen the devastation.

about what it's being promoted with or the words it's looking at. It doesn't know the meaning of words, just how we, as humans, use them. Do I need point out how often people get those uses wrong, especially if they're attempting to use words they don't actually know?

Neula Saighdean @neulasaighdean.bsky.social · 19h

database complete and utter drek! Things most people would instantly know to abandon as not just irrelevant data, but even completely incorrect data, becomes fodder for it to draw from and spit out if it deems it the most likely string of words to follow. Because not one LLM can actually *think*...

recently it couldn't even count occurrences of specific letters in words, because unlike actual AI, it learns jack and shit; it just calculates the most likely sequences of word strings, which thanks to assholes, bigots, trolls, and even sarcastic tendencies, makes a huge portion of its "learning"..
