Crazy that like, even in prehistory, people had such great vision they could see these rings.

politics @lemmy.world•People are asking ChatGPT to help them decide how to vote in the midterms
22·18 hours agoI’m gonna push back on this in that you have no idea how or what structural biases are being baked into these. They also are intentionally built to give a sense of neutrality to things that aren’t neutral.
Also, it’s well known at this point that marketers are focusing on slip websites which can get agree gated into ml model training data sets. The new meta is to get your product into the llm and get the llm to recommend you.

28·18 hours agoThey were doing this in the primary.
I was canvassing and a woman whipped out her phone and asked chatgpt which of the candidates most agreed with her. That’s who she said she’d vote for.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When I hear of bailout money being used by CEOs to give themselves bonuses, couldn't the government buy the debt and make sure the money is spent the right way?
70·1 day agoSeems convoluted. Why not just let the business venture fail?
And if the basic function of the business is so integral to the function of society then it should not be a business, but should be a regulated administrered aspect of government.
If a business functioning is so important it needs to get bailed out, in this case it should be nationalized.

103·1 day agoI don’t really give a fuck what you think because I’ve been in this game much longer than you. I’ve seen how the narratives have shifted and how things have gone from the retconned narrative you liberals try to push, to the generalized recognition even among ficking boomers that actually Democrats are also the fucking problem. 16 years ago, 12 years ago, 8 years ago, hell even 2 years ago, your narrative was what “most Democrats” believed.
But things have changed. The majority of likely Democrat voters recognize that the Democrats are just as in favor of fascism as Republicans. And as such mainstream liberalism has effectively no motion. You lost this battle for narrative when you said the exact same fucking thing in 2016, and 2024 only for your team to hand the keys to the fascists. So I’m not worried because no one fucking believes you any more. We know Democrats are just as much the problem as Republicans.

115·1 day agoNo that’s not our fucking problem dude. Our problem is shitlibs and blue MAGA for a party which should have been burnt to the ground because of their inability to stop fascism back in 2016. Instead, cowardly blue maggots continue to run interference a Democratic party which continues to run interference for genocide and fascism.
It’s not the facists preventing us from stopping fascism. Genuinely. It’s Democratic leadership and their geriatric control of the party structure which has enabled fascism in the first place. Nothing of the current moment is possible with our Democrats and how theyve governed in the past decade. And nothing of their governence is possible without apologists like you .

Remember how lib’s were sucking off Meuller, and then Garland, and then smith while Justice lay “just around the corner”. Pepperridge farms remembers.
Our problem isn’t actually Republicans. Republicans are predictable and always will do the worst thing. They can be easily stopped if Democrats had the will to act. Our problem is Democrats who shield republicans from accountability, and those who protect Democrats from criticism and replacement.

This has been a primary topic of conservation on political lemmy, and before that reddit, for years. You being new to a discussion doesn’t mean the discussion is new. As a collective we’ve been having this discussion for a very long time. No, its not a coincidence that critiques about how objectively anti-democratic the Democratic party is often emerge around elections. There is an election, its time for critiques like that. Its also not your fucking place to decide for other people when is the right time for criticism or not. You can deal with the critique on its merits, or you can shut the fuck up. Otherwise you are doing precisely what I’m accusing you of.
No one in this thread is saying not to criticize Democrats…
No see thats exactly what’s happening and its exactly what you are doing. And it spoiled the election for Democrats in '24 by allowing them to continue with an internal process which is structurally manufactured to ignore the will of the voting population.

1814·2 days agoNo it’s not. Don’t be a fucking moron.
Democrats have earned every fucking iota of critism that can be mustered and it’s 💯 deservered.
What actually hurts Democrats is this unnecessary, thoughtless, cheerleader protection you offer them.
Democrats can’t do better if they don’t change, entirely, as a party, and guarding them from well warranted critism has done lasting and material damage to their ability to be a bulwark agaisnt fascism. You hurt Democrats chances when you dismiss critiques of them with this kind of “but Republicans bad too” shit.
As an enterpuse, Blue MAGA is largely respond for the revivL of fascism and this act you are putting on, it’s central how that process functions.
