Sure, but is protesting hurting us?
If you want to warn people that more than just protesting is necessary, that’s fair. But it sounds like you’re dunking on the protestors, and that will if anything just discourage people. Not helpful.
Man, I don’t even say this shit about people who actually did vote for Trump, let alone on a forum made 90% up of people who voted against him!
I recommend working on your empathy game, yeah? We’re supposed to be working towards a world where people don’t get hurt, not one where the people getting hurt are the ones you don’t like.
I could tell you about the mistakes and crimes the Democrats have committed, here, but I don’t think that’s worthwhile; you probably already know what I’d say. So instead, I’ll ask this: How many evil, horrible things do the Democrats have to do before you decide that voting for them alone isn’t working?
I suspect the answer is that there is no such point so long as the Republicans are worse. In that, they hold you and those like you hostage, and can operate with impunity; there’s no reason to change or improve when they know you’ll vote for them regardless. They are not making “intelligent decisions that keep the world from being as bad as it possibly could be,” they are enabling the backslide of society into hell because they benefit from it.
If the Democrat establishment wanted to make the world better, Trump would be in prison right now, and barred from holding office. They don’t, and he isn’t.
Maybe you should be upset at them for that.
They’re supposed to represent us. Not the other way around.
Probably not. It’s looking from a glance to be pretty small and ill-planned, as many spontaneous “how 'bout we just All Protest Right Now?” things tend to go. I want to believe it’ll be big, but I doubt it, and my state capital is a long drive away for something I have so little faith in.
These ones:
Yeah, I understand that you personally choose to disagree with reality, maybe you don’t like what reality has become, but unfortunately that doesn’t make it less real.
None of that is because they’re “magic beans” from which no value sprouts.
It objectively, undeniably has value. You can staunchly say pretend it doesn’t, but only if you are willingly blind to the voluntary usage patterns of hundreds of millions (possibly billions) of people every hour of every day.
And of course, the entirety of your first comment here.
Nothing of what you’ve stated has proven any of the above. Not that you care; you’ve decided you’re right, and therefore any opinion you hold must automatically be fact. Far as I can tell, you’re here to stroke your ego. Keep at it if you want, I guess — I’m not going to debate someone who only wants to hear themselves talk.
Can’t say I’ve seen B anywhere. All I’ve seen is “tech billionaire CEOs want LLMs to take all our jobs and turn us into slaves,” not so much belief that they can. Perhaps you’re misinterpreting?
After all I’ve seen LLMs fail to do – including on the occasion that I’ve tried it – I’ve absolutely no interest in even bothering to click on those links.
I mean, it technically is. Eventually.
Yeah, I understand that you personally choose to disagree with reality
You saying your opinion is objective reality does not make it so. I agree that LLMs have their (few, niche) uses, but you’re just being arrogant here.
For those interested, Skip Intro’s done a couple of video essays on Jon Stewart that cover very well why he isn’t a particularly good person to listen to.
If you’re interested in someone similar in category but better in substance, I (and Skip Intro, for that matter) recommend John Oliver. He isn’t perfect, but he’s generally on the mark.
If there’s one thing LLMs are very good at, it’s talking about things their creators don’t want them to with barely any effort from the end user.
This is what we call “good news.”
Except for first-past-the-post, the electoral college, Citizen’s United, several elections’ worth of voter suppression, the general bias of the election towards privileged groups, etc.
The U.S. has never once had a fair election. Don’t assume we can’t win just because we couldn’t beat a rigged system.
