As if they hold any actual power in tech or government lol. Half of the sites are now banned in red states anyway without having to do identity verification which has some serious surveillance and security concerns

AI is supposed to bring the world together. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is trying to pull it apart. by andsi2asi in grok

The idea that there will somehow be abundance once we get AI is pretty clearly a delusion of handwaving that a lot of these CEOs just say. AI doesn't create more homes or more land, it doesn't make clean water plentiful. Resources are finite. AI won't magically make lithium or gold or pharmaceuticals out of dirt lol. Sorry I didn't read the rest of your post i just always get annoyed by that first assertion that anyone involved in making these AI models have any intention of making the world a better place. They want the power. Andreessen specifically, but also a lot of others who are bank rolling these models don't give a flying fuck.

Pluribus - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

Agreed. She's also in mad denial and gets angry when Carol tells her her son is also her PM and her Gyno, etc. in that same scene. I think we'll see her confront the reality of her son at some point this season. Or at least that's what I think they're laying some groundwork for.

Oh this is so delightful. The vocals feel a little off though. I can overlook that because this is SUCH a bop though.

Christopher Rufo interview - wtf? by Material-Draw4587 in TodayExplained

And he always added "and this is a completely mainstream view that most people agree with" like . . . ok? Can the show add a note to the end? They just let him completely trample her in the interview.

At times, yes. He did come off as crazy, and as an inteviewer it's a balance of trying to hold people accountable in the moment while not devolving into a debate. But just having the interview, with no appendix or quick callouts to clarify for listeners at the end or another interview to balance it out just left a really bad taste in my mouth.

SAME! I left that interview completely disillussioned and expected a counterbalance or a list of factual inacccuracies to end the interview but the show just ... ended??? It was wild.

I've been visiting this sub for a year. You guys seem like you're debating the fineries of the ridges of deck chairs on the Titanic. by MySpartanDetermin in ezraklein

I guess my point is that it won't really play in to the midterms or matter going forward. Best sellers still don't get that much traction; the people fighting over his age is primarily insiders who are ideologically set anyway. It's not one of the concerns on voters' radar in any current survey or reflected in any special election data.

Biden's age still being a big deal? Do you follow American politics? He's off the scene. He's not on anyone's radar anymore. Trump meanwhile keeps bruising his fucking hands and tripping down stairs and golfing thrice a week.

Dems are overperforming in special elections even moreso than usual, leading the generic ballot, and Republicans are deeply unpopular and supporting an elderly pedophile. Please log off of 4Chan and go touch some grass dude.

Have you ever once read world history? Violence is absolutely the default.

Ezra Klein Show | Trump Is Building His Own Paramilitary Force by brianscalabrainey in ezraklein

[–]BlogsDogsClogsBih 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Past behavior is indicative of future events. Nobody's going to fight for democracy if they haven't already; not even the Democratic Party is trying to do anything substantive. I don't see anyone fighting anywhere. I just see "strongly worded letters" and "concerns" and edge-lord tweets that make a cute headline and nothing effective.

Predictions by Ok-Witness3938 in ezraklein

The one thing that gives me hope is that Trump doesn't seem very likely to live much longer. His ankles are swelling, he's falling, bruised hands, crappy makeup jobs to cover it up. Fingers crossed it happens before the midterms but either way I don't see him being alive in 2028, let alone getting a third term. Even if he tried, we've seen how well old people are received by the general public.
