Yes. The language will be reduced to a few simple 3D polygons, and the programmer will simply decide what interface each is best fit for. I’ve come up with the prototype:

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and other politically impotent dems have got to go!

There’s a word for him and all the other collaborators, traitors and those who choose to do nothing right now: *QUISLING*

There are dems trying to resist but these *quislings* are sabotaging us all!

I'm not saying any one is a russian asset... but wasn't that the exact way a couple of russian assets would behave?

AI seems to agree.

Interesting. I asked ChatGPT "What might citizens look out for to determine if their political leadership, including the president, were Russian assets?".

Didn't prime, clean first question. I don't put much stock in what AI produces, so this is just for entertainment.

#ai #chatgpt #uspol #maga
[Part 1 of 3] Question to ChatGPT: What might citizens look out for to determine if their political leadership, including the president, were Russian assets? ChatGPT said: Determining whether political leaders, including a president, might be foreign assets, such as Russian ones, is a complex issue that involves a combination of behavior, policy, and circumstantial evidence. Here are some red flags or indicators that citizens might look out for: 1. Policy Alignments with Foreign Interests Unusual foreign policy stances: If a leader consistently promotes policies that benefit Russia, even when they are not in the national interest, it may raise concerns. This could include promoting the lifting of sanctions on Russia, opposing NATO, or pushing for actions that support Russian geopolitical goals. Questionable international partnerships: If a leader fosters unusually close ties with Russia, particularly against the backdrop of strained relationships with allies, it could be a sign of foreign influence. 2. Financial Connections Unexplained wealth or business ties: If political leaders or their associates have financial connections to Russian businesses, oligarchs, or entities with links to the Kremlin, it could indicate possible influence. This is especially concerning if the financial ties are not transparent or disclosed. Unusual business dealings: If there are suspicious financial dealings, such as lobbying efforts, business deals, or real estate transactions with Russian companies or individuals known to have close ties to the Russian government, it may warrant scrutiny. [continued on part 2 of 3] [Part 2 of 3] ChatGPT Continues: 3. Public Rhetoric Pro-Russian or anti-Western rhetoric: Leaders who consistently praise or defend Russia’s actions, minimize Russian interference in other countries, or engage in anti-Western rhetoric, especially targeting NATO or European institutions, might be acting in Russia's interest. Downplaying Russian interference: A tendency to deny or downplay Russia’s involvement in foreign elections, cyberattacks, or geopolitical conflicts could be a sign of alignment with Russian interests. 4. Compromising Behavior Strange or erratic behavior: If a leader’s actions seem inconsistent or harmful to national security, particularly when it benefits Russia, this could suggest outside influence or control. Inability or unwillingness to stand up to Russia: A consistent failure to confront Russia on issues like cyberattacks, territorial expansion (e.g., Crimea), or interference in democratic processes could be a concerning signal. 5. Circumstantial Evidence Connections to Russian diplomats or operatives: A pattern of meetings, communications, or collaborations with Russian officials or intelligence agents could indicate an undue influence on the political leadership. Suspicious travel patterns: If political leaders or their aides consistently visit Russia or have unexplained trips to areas linked to Russian interests, it could be a warning sign. Investigation results: If there are credible reports or investigations revealing links between political figures and Russian entities (such as intelligence agencies, oligarchs, or the Kremlin), citizens should take those findings seriously. [Continued on part 3 of 3] [Part 3 of 3] ChatGPT Continues: 6. Compromised Security Measures Weakening of national security: If a leader undermines security agencies, obstructs investigations into foreign interference (like Russian meddling in elections), or dismantles counterintelligence efforts, it could suggest a hidden agenda to protect foreign interests over national security. Sensitive information leaks: Leaders who regularly disclose classified or sensitive information, especially to foreign entities or parties with ties to Russia, might be engaging in harmful behavior. 7. Public Sentiment and Media Control Media manipulation: If there is a noticeable increase in pro-Russian narratives within the media, especially if it is linked to a political figure’s rhetoric or decisions, it could be a form of influence. Russia has been known to use media outlets to spread disinformation or manipulate public opinion in favor of certain political agendas. Attacks on domestic critics: Leaders who actively target and discredit those investigating foreign influence or criticising Russia may be shielding Russian interests. 8. Undue Influence on Elections Unexplained election interference: Evidence that a leader is blocking investigations into foreign meddling in elections, or that they have benefited from suspicious election outcomes, could be a red flag. This includes suppression of evidence or ignoring foreign interference, especially from Russian sources. Conclusion The presence of one or more of these signs doesn’t automatically indicate that a political leader is a foreign asset, but a pattern of these behaviors, particularly when aligned with Russia’s interests, could raise legitimate concerns. Citizens should rely on independent investigations, credible journalism, and transparency to assess the situation, especially in the case of actions that appear to harm national interests in favor of foreign powers.

If you need need a laugh, this MapQuest thingy is pretty silly :P

Here's what a simulated Kurtis Yarvin presidency might look like.

The model's response had chilling familiarity, for being trained mostly on 2021 data.

Yarvin is the "intellectual" worshiped by Trump & Vance's respective billionaire daddies, Elon Musk & Peter Thiel.

We're in hell.

Come on, would a nazi make jokes like this?

So, ADL, how are you going to sane-wash this one?

I'm sure it's coincidence that he has this sort of humor, is named after a book written by a famous nazi, family allegedly moved to SA for the nazi vibes, and gave the salute twice in a political speech.

If you need context for the salute Elon just gave, then check out this Bluesky thread I posted almost two weeks ago.

This wasn't him being awkward or some fumble... It is exactly what it appears to be!

Like his own father said recently, this is Elon "embracing his heritage and his destiny".

As much as I despise nearly everything people are doing with AI right now... I still can't resist playing around with it!

Not sure what went wrong here... We all have have our moments.

To be clear, I don't think this is any 'gotcha'. It's just their business model. Also, I know I made a typo, but it was minor and did not effect the outcome. This was just for lolz to see Gemini explain how Google fails it's own criteria for spying :P

Btw here are the pics without my sloppy markup:

Just for fun, I prompted Gemini with "What are some possible ways that someone can figure out if a company is participating in mass-surveillance?"

I then asked "How many of those points can you NOT rule our for Google?"

Enjoy.

I thought this was the social network that didn’t use an algorithm, no?

Isn’t the selling point (aside from just not being X) that it’s only your follows, tags you watch, or user-curated lists that dictate what you see?

Seems like Bluesky already has other plans…

Something feels sus about an account this overtly anti-maga, has tens of thousands of follows/followers, and mostly reposts (though they do post a bit).

Sorry, but this feels like a honey pot to me!

Be diligent! People are actively trying to round us up and take another platform away from us!
Appears to be a leftist Bluesky account, but seems a bit sus due to insane follow/follower count.
