Trump does get random weird one-off obsessions like Greenland, but a disturbing amount of what he does makes sense if you ask: “Is this intelligble as part of a plan to guarantee the success of a second coup?”

Being proactive needn't be at the expense of wrong and counterproductive messaging.

Drive by but: It's important to get the "semantics" right because you risk depressing the vote for people who are actually on your side.

This to me is one of the most telling moments in recent US political history. At the time, the story was "look at John McCain, standing up for small l liberal values that make us great!" But the real story was, holy shit, the GOP rank and file doesn't buy that shit anymore. youtu.be/jrnRU3ocIH4?...

I've had success when pair programming with an AI though I've had to stay absolutely on top of things, generating in very small portions and refining and refactoring as 'we' go, and it's only been better than hand-writing in a small number of cases. Just let 'em fly and they're death-traps.

Come on UK. It's not as though we want an army over there, just a few people to confirm our commitment to NATO. Please?

AI is only useful for anything you can confirm independently. If it's the same effort to confirm it as it is to find it out in the first place, there's no point in using AI.
For writing software, it's great. Does it work? Let me run it and see. For most other things, I can't imagine a time saving.

Cars should never be driven by anyone. Supporters say academics need to better understand, opponents say it's unethical to drive machines that can kill people, particularly when the driver may be drunk or have mental health issues and may not know how to drive.
Gimme a break.

The emphasis on "never" was added by Hinder. The poll was commissioned by a very terfy organisation. The question headline is ambiguous (though I still concur with the OP's conclusion), the 'context' for the question incredibly leading.

This is good use of AI. Someone had an idea that works in part because of an apparent authenticity, and made something genuinely funny.
Not perfect but doesn't need to be. No-one was misinformed, misdiagnosed, or encouraged into suicide. Worth the small amount of power and cooling used to make it.

This is likely a meme from within the "vanlife" community. Nothing I'd personally like to spend my time in or my money on but some of the builds are undeniably fun

When Trumpo was doing his 'affordability' rallies recently, he was repeating his talking points to the crowd and included, "it's a simple message." He literally repeated the part his coaches were drilling into _him_.

Honestly, they are just nicer to type on. I was a working dev for 20 years before I tried a mechanical keyboard and would never go back to membrane.

Keyboards are only one distracting noise in an office. If noise bothers you, it's on you to get some noise-cancelling headphones and protect your space that way, not expect everyone else to tiptoe around silently for you.

This is true, and much of its advice was correct. The problems are that sometimes it isn't, it's guardrails are easily jumped, and its creators are happy to have it viewed as an oracle when it's not fit for that purpose.
