It’s much easier to talk mad shit online when you’ve grown accustomed to the idea that there are no consequences for anything you say. They’re perfectly happy to let the consequences of doing fall to someone else.

He was always a jackass, he just used to be a quiet jackass that nobody ever heard from so we couldn’t tell. Now that he is fully incapable of shutting the fuck up, his jackassery is on full display.

This is the way. It’s perfectly okay to want to support a third party, but it isn’t done by wasting your FPTP vote.

It’s why it’s so newsworthy whenever one of them declares that Trump “Deserved to be Charged” after he admitted he lost the election.

Where are they? Exactly where they always were.

On the Left and amid the DNC, there has always been a lack of unity. The Democrats in general display a stark willingness to turn against their own, to eat their own candidate, in the event of a failure. A favored politician gets caught sending inappropriate pictures to someone who isn’t their spouse? Their career is over. An incumbent fucks up a debate? Their base splits and explodes and forces them out. On the left, you can’t fuck up and still expect unwavering support like you could on the Right.

On the right, the cries about age and fitness are being shown as bad faith arguments. The fact that they still support their pants-shitting senile rambler felon of a candidate makes it pretty clear that they don’t actually care THAT MUCH about age and fitness. It was just a convenient weapon they could turn turn against Biden, because he was very slightly older than Trump, and when Trump babbles like an imbecile that’s just his normal. He’s always been unfit, as opposed to recently declining to that level.

But also you just don’t need to. I didn’t realize that not everyone took the ASVAB. My public High School administered it to everyone (May have been an opt out option, don’t remember) and I did pretty well. As a result, I was contacted by recruiters two or three times, promptly said I wasn’t interested, and that was the end of it.

Doesn’t he look tired?

We knew this already. Look at all his old quotes about soldiers, look at how he shit-talks them at every turn, calling them losers and suckers, saying he doesn’t understand why a smart person would ever join the military. Trump barely even bothers to veil his true feelings for soldiers, which lay somewhere between contempt and mockery.

Yeah? That’s… how LLMs work. It doesn’t KNOW anything, it’s a glorified auto-fill. It knows what words look good after what’s already there, it doesn’t care whether anything it’s saying is correct, it doesn’t KNOW if it’s correct. It doesn’t know what correct even is. It isn’t made to lie or tell the truth, those concepts are completely unknown to it’s function.

LLMs like ChatGPT are explicitly and only good at composing replies that look good. They are Convincing. That’s it. It will confidently and convincingly make shit up.

That’s definitely not why he bought Twitter though.

It seems like every other day, Trump does something that would have been absolutely career-ending for anyone else. I think he’s kept his campaign from going down the toilet by just making sure it was completely clogged.

Trump broke the law? Holy shit stop the presses! We need to get immediate coverage of the consequences that will definitely for sure follow! _/s

The couch fucking weirdo is tanking the numbers! Quick! Go find the guy with the brain worm!

The question becomes whether or not that interrupting bullshit stream actually harms him more than it helps.

The problem is that muting his mic when it’s not his turn to talk doesn’t keep him from spewing rampant bullshit when it IS his time to talk.

Nah Bigfoot has some other skeletons in the closet. He knows what he fucking did.

Spoken like someone who manages programmers instead of working as one.

And millions of people want Elon Musk to get one himself.

Musk has definitely thrown away $44+ Billion, regardless of the election outcome. He didn’t buy twitter BECAUSE he wanted to manipulate an election in the future, he bought it because if he didn’t the SEC had him dead to rights on stock manipulation charges. Musk had been openly claiming he was gonna buy twitter at meme-stock prices, driving up the stock price, without disclosing that he already owned a lot of twitter stock. He HAD to act like he meant it. It’s also why he did everything he could to back out of the deal, including making up bullshit about how twitter lied about the state of the platform, he didn’t want to go through with it. But Twitter came correct, proved they had their shit right, and literally forced him to go through with the sale.

Your use of Cryptography is probably roughly on the level of “Having a strong password.”

The application of quantum computers will largely in in BREAKING security. You’re not going to have a quantum-security module in your phone or home computer.
