The audacity of this motherfucker.

My point is that the rate of improvement is slowing down. Also, its capabilities are often overblown. On the surface it does something amazing, but then flaws are pointed out by those who have a better understanding of the subject matter, then those flaws are excused with fluff words like "hallucinations".

The assumption here is that the AI will improve. Under the current approach to AI, that might not be the case, since it could be hitting its limitations and this article may be pointing out a symptom of those limitations.

When judges die while democrats have power, they nominate milquetoast compromise judges while republicans just go full far-right crazy. Democrats don't fight to block the crazy republican judges nor do they even fight to get their own judges in. A great example is when Obama nominated Merrick Garland, an already lame pick, as a "compromise". The republicans insisted on waiting until the 2016 election concluded and the next president was sworn in and the democrats didn't fight back at all. Then as some dumb form of symbolism, they make Merrick Garland the Attorney General during Biden's term and Garland proceeds to not prosecute Trump for four years. That should tell you how great he would've been as a supreme court judge.

So even if democrats do get a judge in, it's a compromised "centrist". How do you think the court will end up when one side packs in far-right wackos and the other side puts in moderate right-wing losers? Seems pretty clear what the direction would be even if democrats won every election until the end of time.

So, again, practically meaningless distinction. Until democrats are willing to use the same tools they leave available to republicans, the democrats are ineffective.

If it was that easy to undo what biden did, then practically he did nothing.

It's still important to point out and put on the public record.

I tried playing it but it's so incoherent (walls becoming paths, dead enemies randomly coming back to life, health pickups that do nothing, etc) that I'm not even sure this counts as a game. Typically a game has rules so that you can set how you play according to those rules. This is just poorly-generated trash, which I guess fits in with the rest of the hot garbage AI we've currently got.

You mean like how democrats love to claim their hands are tied on any issue that benefits the common person? Pointing out that electoralism hasn't worked isn't defeatism, it's recognizing reality.

Oof, right in the soybeans! I could've sworn China already switched away from American soybeans during the trade war of trump's first term.

We've hit 2024 levels so far. Let's see if we can go even lower.
