It’s not come to anything. They tried this a few years ago and it failed. “approved for signature gathering” doesn’t mean shit

Do NOT fall for this shit, they’ve tried it before. This makes america an easy red majority and that’s the entire point of it. We’re in this together and not going anywhere

“AI, how do I do <obscure thing> in <complex programming framework>”

“Here is some <language> code. Please fix any errors: <paste code here>”

These save me hours of work on a regular basis and I don’t even use the paid tier of ChatGPT for it. Especially the first one because I used to read half the documentation to answer that question. Results are accurate 80% of the time, and the other 20% is close enough that I can fix it in a few minutes. I’m not in an obscure AI related field, any programmer can benefit from stuff like this.

Compare Llama 1 to the current state of the art local AI’s. They’re on a completely different level.

My grandparents from one side of the family left me nothing, and the other side left two weeks rent. I know the direct descendants come first but at least give the grandkids 15% or something, it would have helped so much. We’re all working twice as hard to afford half the lifestyle our parents had

I’m wondering if we’re in the process of seeing the parties flip tbh. It seems like D’s are becoming more conservative and R’s are now trying to make systemic changes. Granted it’s not a perfect flip and R-progressiveness is more like going backwards at times (abortion) but things feel weird now.

• D: Trying to maintain (aka conserve) the status quo. Haven’t been truly progressive for decades. Doesn’t seem to have learned anything from losing in 2024.
• R: Got suddenly forced into populism by Trump’s surprise win and staying power. Their status quo rich politicians are all being forced out. “Anti-Elites” and big chaotic changes are now their calling cards.

If R’s realize that voters will strongly support them for attacking the rich, it might happen imo.

The one poll I’ve seen about him was from a “company” that was created a few days before the poll released

I once saw a blog post comment accusing the author of being woke, and then later in the rant he said the author needed to wake up

Security upgrades are something they can do on day 1. Real changes aren’t going to be as easy

No but I saw sympathy

The sympathy lasted two days. I was expecting maybe a week.

2016 was easily dismissed because trump was a surprise candidate they weren’t prepared to deal with, Hilary was disliked, and she still won the popular vote. None of those excuses apply in 2024
