So doesn’t that mean that the next step is for Trump to call TruthAI mean and nasty, then sue it?

Because he’s a corrupt piece of shit, owned by the same moneyed interests that own the Republicans.

So the message to poor Americans from Trump and the Republicans is “If we can’t take away your health insurance assistance, we’ll take away your food assistance.”

And all so that they can pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

They’re psychopaths. They really are - they are, and rather self-evidently, entirely unconstrained by morals, principles, empathy or conscience, so meet the DSM standards.

That don’t just need to be voted out of office - they need to be institutionalized.

Huh… that sounds about right.

Alito, for instance, was always a demagogic piece of shit, and Thomas was always a corrupt piece of shit, but for a while there, Roberts was a relatively decent justice, all things considered. But no more - now he’s at least as corrupt/compromised as the rest of them. But I was never quite sure how that happened, and that’s a plausible explanation.

They could - Congress has the exact same authority to impeach a supreme court justice as they do a president (or any other federal office-holder for that matter).

But they won’t.

A Dem majority wouldn’t be enough, because Schumer and Jeffries and all the rest of their neolib hack allies would still be there, and they’re owned by most of the same big money donors that own the Republicans.

The only way there’s any chance that Congress would actually exercise its authority is if all of the corrupt shitweasels are primaried and the Dems end up not just with a majority, but a majority of actual leftists with actual principles and integrity.

And that’s terribly unlikely, since both the Republicans and the Democrats would fight it tooth and toenail.

Though he likely won’t hold public attention, I suspect that Roberts will, in the analyses of professional historians and political scientists, be judged second only to Trump in responsibility for the coming collapse of the US.

More precisely, since it’s an honor system, Trump, who possesses no honor whatsoever, is immune.

lol

Okay, so usually an instant self-own.

“Do you know who I am?!” is an instant self-own.

I’d say that calling what they do “hallucinating” is still falling prey to the most fundamental ongoing misperceptions/misrepresentations of them.

They cannot actually “hallucinate,” since they don’t actually perceive the data that’s poured into and out of them, much less possess any ability to interpret it either correctly or incorrectly.

They’re just gigantic databases programmed with a variety of ways in which to collate, order and regurgitate portions of that data. They have no awareness of what it is that they’re doing - they’re just ordering data based on rules and statistical likelihoods, and that rather obviously means that they can and will end up following language paths that, while likely internally coherent, will have drifted away from reality. That that ends up resembling a “hallucination” is just happenstance, since it doesn’t even arise from the same process as actual “hallucinations.”

And broadly I grow increasingly confident that virtually all of the current (and coming - I think things are going to get much worse) problems with “AI” in and of itself (as distinct from the ways in which it’s employed) are rooted in the fundamental misrepresentations, misinterpretations and misconceptions that are made about them, starting with the foundational one that they are or can be in any sense “intelligence.”

Fucking losers.

Since knowledge is woefully inadequate, this would necessarily boil down to “treat others as you assume they treat others,” which is exactly the moral standard already followed by trigger-happy cops, ICE agents, MAGAs and bigots in general.

Is that really the best you can do?

As far as the Golden Rule goes, it’s immensely improved by framing it negatively - do not do unto others as you would not have done unto you.

Too many to list, dating at least back to 99 Luftballons.

This is the most recent one: Pacifica - Soltame

Because the New York Times is a tool of the oligarchs, and the oligarchs support fascism and oppose progressivism.

It’s really just that simple.

I think Platner isn’t as skilled at avoiding establishment Democrat smear campaigns as Mamdani is.

That’s what the right inevitably does.

They lie constantly. They invariably lie to others and in many cases (the ones who at least have some hint of principles and a conscience) they lie to themselves. They have to, because their ideology is really nothing more than hate and selfishness.

So of course they see bias everywhere. They’ve invested all this time and effort in their media bubbles having apologists convince them that they’re moral and upright and honorable, then as soon as they step out of their bubbles, they’re hit with the truth that they’re just selfish and hateful, and since that truth runs counter to their carefully cultivated delusions, they can only see it as “bias.”

And since their delusions are just that, the only way they can ensure that that’s what they see instead of the truth they don’t want to face is to introduce real bias.

And that’s exactly what they do, over and over and over again.

Maybe a “subsidence” - it’s not so much that it collapsed as that it settled to its natural level.

The game that Stardew Valley blatantly copied - Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.

It was made for the GBA, so has straightforward and precise controls, with none of the irritating camera or targeting complications that come with making the game 3D.

There are other later games in the Harvest Moon franchise with better graphics, but like Stardew Valley with a gamepad, they tend to have irritatingly imprecise controls. Friends of Mineral Town, with its isometric 2D, doesn’t have that problem.

Oh look - it’s the Toddler-in-chief throwing another tantrum.

One of the many things I’ll never really understand about this whole Trump thing is how he manages to get so much support from the right-wing choad demographic when he’s such a gross, flabby, pathetic, whiney manbaby.

Wait, what?

DeSantis taking a stand against governmental abuse of authority, and against the Trump regime specifically?

How the hell did that happen?
