  • Trump's use of a slur for Tim Walz kills his Indiana Redistricting Effort General Politics - USA

  • Yeah, I applaud his cojones but this headline is just the title of a single video game forum post with a screenshot of a Facebook post. Searching around, I don't see any indication that his is the deciding vote or anything.

  • Nancy Pelosi announces she will not seek reelection to Congress after nearly 40 years in Washington

    Jump

  • Arguably the most effective Speaker in history, and got an incredible amount of maximally progressive legislation through the House on the thinnest of margins again and again and again. There's a reason Republicans hated (and feared) her so much.

  • So I'm out here like "Kamala Harris y'all" and then she goes ahead and posts some shit like this

    Jump

  • He was one of the few high-profile Republicans willing to stand by his condemnation of Trump after January 6th, even when the party came crawling back and that stance became a huge liability for him and his daughter. I can respect that.

  • Why don't Americans impeach Trump?

    Jump

  • It's a two step process: a majority of the House must vote to impeach, then the Senate has a trial where you need a two-thirds majority to convict and remove them from office. House Democrats actually impeached Trump twice in his first term when they had the majority (once for blackmailing Ukraine, and again after the January 6th attack), but Republicans in the Senate blocked conviction.

    Right now, Republicans have the majority in both the House and the Senate, so there's not even a chance of impeachment, much less conviction.

  • Trump posts a Pam Bondi DM to public on TruthSocial?

    Jump

  • This reminds me of when the Ukraine blackmail story first broke. Even before the impeachment push, it seemed like the story was far more riveting -- entirely because of the whistleblower angle. I remember thinking at the time that if all the transcripts being shown on the news with the reactions and dramatic highlighter effects had instead been a public statement by Trump that "yeah, we're withholding weapons until Zelensky gives us dirt on Biden," the entire thing would have blown over in a week. Maybe this could be similar?

    (You know what else has the cachet of secrecy and coverup? The Epstein files.)

    Jump

  • So sick of these kinds of posts. At this point it should be obvious that the blatant hypocrisy isn't stupid or some clever "gotcha," it's the entire point. It's a demonstration of impunity and contempt for fairness and logical consistency.

  • Relative to the speed shown in the visualizations. The pop-sci animations look like it takes one step every second or so, while in reality they do hundreds per second.

  • This is the technology worth trillions of dollars huh

    Jump

  • One of these days AI skeptics will grasp that spelling-based mistakes are an artifact of text tokenization, not some wild stupidity in the model. But today is not that day.

  • How is it more accurate? I thought that in reality the "steps" are incredibly fast, but that makes it seem like it's a much slower and more uncertain process.

  • AI bro discovering imagination

    Jump

  • It's Twitter, so there's an excellent chance this is manipulative engagement bait. But it would be really, really interesting if heavy usage of AI image gen proved to be an effective kind of visualization "exposure therapy" for people with aphantasia. We've never before had the ability to so quickly and reliably convert words to images, so maybe experiencing that connection on demand a few thousand times is enough to activate those mental pathways for people who lack them? The closest we've had up to now is a Google Image search, and those results are much more varied, not as precisely tailored to the search term, and not something that people generally do over and over again for leisure.

  • I suspect a large chunk of people in denial have either never used it and are basing their judgment on memes and cherry-picked failure modes that go viral, or have only used the earlier/weaker models that are far more prone to hallucination. I use ChatGPT Plus regularly, and find it occasionally imperfect but still very useful, but a few times I've tried using it while logged out and the free model it defaults to was far more flawed. Probably why OpenAI built GPT5 around a marginally better but far more efficient model that they can roll out to everyone (including the large cohort of free users).

  • You can make the argument that AI is damaging or unsustainable or not worth the cost, but acting like no one likes or uses it is straight-up delusional. (Not as delusional as people falling in love with their chatbots, but the fact that people are kind of proves my point.)

  • The Texas Democratic Walkout Is a Strong Opening Move

    Jump

  • I'm wary of the hype over this gambit because it's been tried several times in the recent past and has always ended with a few key legislators caving and returning to the capitol for no real concessions. Hopefully they realize that people are not in the mood for token resistance (and Abbott's threats against them will steel their spines).
