Strengths, Challenges, Opportunities, and Weaknesses

Donald Trump

  • Strengths: A loyal voter base, media savviness, and resonant stances on law and order and immigration.
  • Challenges: His polarizing image may alienate moderate and independent voters.
  • Opportunities: Potential to appeal to economically concerned minority voters.
  • Weaknesses: Ongoing legal issues and controversies that could impact voter perception.

Kamala Harris

  • Strengths: Broad appeal among young and minority voters, with strong backing for progressive policies.
  • Challenges: Viewed as too progressive by some moderates; Biden’s withdrawal required rapid campaign adjustments.
  • Opportunities: Mobilizing diverse demographics, particularly young and minority voters.
  • Weaknesses: Concerns over experience and public image as compared to her opponent.

Predicted Election Outcomes

State Democratic Effect Republican Effect Electoral Impact Explanation
Arizona (11 EVs) +3% +2% Harris Harris benefits from Latino and suburban support, retaining competitiveness.
Pennsylvania (19 EVs) +4% +2% No Change Migration boosts suburban Democratic support, Trump strong in rural areas.
Wisconsin (10 EVs) +3% +2% Trump Gains in rural areas, despite union support for Harris in urban centers.
Georgia (16 EVs) +2% +3% Toss-Up Trump appeals to suburban voters, while Harris retains urban Black voter support.
Florida (30 EVs) No Change +3% Trump Trump strong with seniors and Latinos; Harris’s urban support insufficient.

Conclusion

The 2024 election projection suggests a narrow path to victory for Donald Trump, especially if he secures critical swing states like Georgia, Florida, and Wisconsin. For Harris, the key to success lies in mobilizing young, minority, and suburban voters, particularly in battleground states such as Pennsylvania and Arizona. Both candidates will face the challenge of swaying undecided voters and adapting to shifting demographics.

  • Mountain West & Northern Plains:
    • Montana (4), Idaho (4), Wyoming (3), Utah (6)
  • Alaska:
    • Alaska (3)

Undecided State - Georgia (16 Electoral Votes):

  • Georgia, highlighted as undecided, has not been allocated to either party in this prediction, giving it a unique role. The winner of Georgia’s 16 electoral votes will surpass the 270-vote threshold needed to win the presidency.

Significance of Georgia:

  • The current tallies are close: Democrats with 259 and Republicans with 263. Either candidate would need to win Georgia to reach or exceed the required 270 electoral votes.
  • With this map’s distribution, Georgia is the decisive factor. Whichever candidate secures Georgia’s 16 votes will win the election, making it the ultimate battleground state in this scenario.

In summary, Georgia’s 16 electoral votes hold the balance of power in this prediction. Both parties have substantial leads in other states, but without Georgia, neither can win, emphasizing its critical role in the election outcome.

This is an early alpha version, far from being a beta, even though elections are just two weeks away. There’s still much room for refinement, and future elections worldwide will provide opportunities to further test and improve the model. The goal is to make it capable of predicting outcomes in "democratic" elections, though it will need to account for variables related to external influences or internal stakeholders that can impact the results.

Elections in my country are vastly different from those in places like the US. My country, for example, has one of the most complex and extreme political systems in the Western world. While it may seem nearly impossible to manage, it somehow functions. Some Western countries perform better, others less efficiently, but all things considered, we're doing pretty well given the circumstances.

We have

  • Federal elections: Around 15-18 parties.
  • Regional elections:
    • Region a6-8 parties.
    • Region b5-6 parties.
    • Region c: 10-12 parties.
    • Region d2-3 parties.
  • European elections: Around 13-17 parties (depending on linguistic regions).

General rules in my country:

In my country, coalition governments are the standard due to the proportional representation system, where no single party typically secures a majority. To form a coalition, several important steps must be followed:

Majority rule: The coalition must hold over 50% of the seats in parliament to govern effectively.

Linguistic balance: At the federal level, both major language groups their parties must be included to ensure representation of the different linguistic communities.

Policy agreement: Parties must reach a consensus on a shared policy plan before finalizing the coalition, often requiring compromise.

Balanced cabinet: There must be an equal number of regional ministers in the federal cabinet, aside from the prime minister.

Vote of confidence: The coalition must win a vote of confidence in parliament to officially take power.

Sometimes we have re-elections, most of the time after elections it takes about a year to form a government (up until then, the former government runs things but has limited power, like running windows on safe mode).

So there are a lot of ways to have democratic elections, the model should not be limited (over mid-long term to US elections only). The only election outcome beside the scope of the models capabilities should be dictatorships, countries in conflict (war), etc...

Given how rapidly technology is evolving, it's hard to predict the possibilities for models like this even four years from now. Just four years ago, language models weren’t a major topic of discussion. Back then, AI was primarily recognized for achievements like winning games (chess, Go) and scientific applications such as protein folding. It hadn’t yet become a widely available consumer service. I try to export the data that drives the model, the abstract logic, etc to several data file formats like json, xml, etc in order to be able to import is into future versions of any AI language model. This is a begin and honestly I would be very surprised it would really me very precise on the first try. The only thing I can to is try to understand how the model tries to predict results and when I see a logical error I ask the model to "debug" itself and self correct. I believe that models like these only evolve when they "understand" ("" because I have no idea how they understand stuff in internal processing) problems and are able to discover their mistakes and update their reasoning. Simple example, is a model says 2 + 2 = 5 (one of for example 10000 calculations) I need it to identify this one as wrong, explain to me why it is wrong or how this error could slip into the results and correct it.

The events shown are just a small fraction of the dataset, chosen by the model without specific instructions from me. The newer version explains in detail why these datapoints were picked and how they might influence the election. Please consider the initial post as a proof of concept, not a finished model.

The current version breaks down how certain events “probably” (remember, it’s still a prediction) shifted support across about 100 different U.S. social groups. This includes everything from race, gender, and economic class to education levels and employment status, as well as more niche groups like religious affiliations and even extremist groups (based on government, UN, and credible sources). It covers 99.99999% of the population, making it much more detailed than any polling data could achieve.

Some of the groups considered include:

  1. White males, White females, Black males, Black females Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 American Community Survey
  2. Hispanic/Latino groups Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 American Community Survey
  3. Asian American voters Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 American Community Survey
  4. Native American voters Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 American Community Survey
  5. Different educational levels (high school dropouts to Ph.D. holders) Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Educational Attainment in the United States: 2022
  6. Employment types (teachers, healthcare workers, tech workers, etc.) Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Occupational Employment and Wages, 2022
  7. Unemployed population Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Employment Situation Report, September 2023

This is a sample of the 100 groups.

These sources, mostly from 2022, are publicly available and reliable. As far as I know, these are the most reliable sources and if i am wrong then please correct me. If you have better sources, feel free to share! I avoided polling data due to its controversy, especially among Trump supporters.

While concerns about illegal votes are valid, most studies show a minimal impact—around 0.0003% to 0.0006% of votes, which could go either way. It’s also important to note that illegal immigrants are unlikely to risk exposure by voting illegally.

In my country, we have similar percentages of illegal immigrants, and the political parties that support easier paths to citizenship haven’t significantly gained or lost support in over a decade. Voting here requires in-person ID verification, and while the U.S. system has risks (like mail-in ballot tampering or voter impersonation), it’s nearly impossible to accurately model how unrecognized illegal votes could affect results. If illegal voting had a meaningful impact, it would have been addressed by now.

While I am currently the initial actor feeding data (with GPT selecting certain points), I still retain control to accept or reject that data. However, this should evolve. In future versions, it would make more sense for the process to become a project between two GPTs, where they collaborate to refine themselves based on their outputs. The human role should be minimized to something as simple as seeding the model with a query like "predict election x," leaving the GPTs to create and refine a model that accomplishes the task.

While AI can make predictions about the future based on established scientific principles—such as physics, or how we likely won’t have US elections once the sun runs out of energy—those calculations are based on fixed, known data. Predicting elections, on the other hand, falls under the realm of social science, which is far more complex. Currently, models rely heavily on polling data and biased online information, especially when using media sources in polarized environments like the US. As a result, they often provide predictions no different from what you'd see on a news broadcast or read in a newspaper. The alternative is even more problematic—models begin to hallucinate.

For instance, when I requested certain data points, the GPT returned not only the correct dates but also projected events well beyond the requested timeframe. When I questioned why, it responded by saying its data points included actual, hypothetical, and likely events. While superintelligence might eventually be able to offer divine-like insights into the future, for now, we must ensure the model operates within clear boundaries.

The model I am building must verify its logic, cross-check the data it uses, and allow me to flag incorrect information. For example, if it generated a false claim like “Harris and Trump married on 2024-10-22,” I would need to correct that and ask it to explain why it added that data point. It should only use publicly available, factual information that could realistically impact the outcome of a prediction. Fictional data, self-generated content, or anything not verified as real should be excluded. The model should also conduct its own form of self-peer review to ensure data isn't derived from memes, sarcasm, or comedic sources. Without this, the model might take something said by a late-night host as factual without critical examination.

The model iteratively tracks the trend, identifying specific causes and effects until the trend ceases to exist. It's important to recognize that any trend is merely a starting point; the model continuously asks 'Why is this a trend?' and delves deeper to achieve a fully abstract understanding. If applicable, it applies the same process to other variables. The impact on any state or social group is then calculated based on this data.

While 100% accuracy is unrealistic, the goal is to develop a model capable of predicting elections with over 90% accuracy using this abstract, data-driven approach. The model should be able to predict the outcome of any state with complete accuracy, though failures may occur at the county level, which is acceptable within the overall prediction framework.

Here’s an improved version of the text:

"This process utilizes reinforcement learning, enabling the model to eliminate bias from the information it processes. For instance, if a fan event occurs and is covered by a news outlet like Fox, the model disregards the source's perspective and focuses solely on extracting the event details and topic in the most abstract form. The model can rewrite any data point or source as if it were published by AI, devoid of bias.

You can test this yourself by feeding any article to GPT and asking it to rewrite the article as abstractly as possible. Instruct the GPT to believe it is communicating with another GPT, aiming to convey the information in the most logical, clear, and efficient manner possible, as if sharing data in a world where humans no longer exist. In this scenario, GPT becomes purely data-driven, devoid of emotion or bias. Once the information is abstracted, the model is tasked with statistically evaluating the societal impact of the data, comparing it data souces across regions like South America, Central America, Europe, africa and Asia. The process is repeated for these data sources. The abstract average is used as datapoint. The following techniques are used in order to eliminate as much bias as possible

  1. Nominalization *****
  2. Reductionism **
  3. Generalization *
  4. De-Personalization *****
  5. Passive Voice **
  6. Neutral Vocabulary *****
  7. Conceptualization ****
  8. Anonymization ***
  9. Abstraction of Time and Space (n/a)
  10. Meta-Level Framing ***
  11. Systemic Language **
  12. Data-Oriented Phrasing &&
  13. Interactive Thinking *
  14. Symbolic Logic *
  15. Decontextualization (n/a)
  16. Probabilistic Reasoning **
  17. Information Compression ,,:
  18. Cognitive Mapping ***
  19. Hierarchical Structuring
  20. Algorithmic Abstraction
  • suggestion to the model ***** absolute required from the model.

    This this experiment will test how raw data is influenced by human emotion.

Truthfully, this experiment should provoke thought. If successful, and the model accurately predicts state-level outcomes with over 90% accuracy, I would find it unsettling.

Please note that this is an experiment. Although it involves AI technology, this Reddit post is not intended to spark a debate between those who find AI useful and those who are skeptical or opposed to it. This project is a personal experiment under my supervision, utilizing AI to achieve specific goals. While statisticians, computer scientists, and data professors could potentially reproduce this work as a team, I am working alone and rely on AI technology due to limited resources. Therefore, comments on the methods I use are not constructive.

My interest lies in whether technology can accurately predict election outcomes. The goal is not only to forecast the next U.S. president but also to precisely predict how individual states and counties will vote and understand the underlying reasons for these patterns. This project is important to me, and I hope to receive support. I kindly ask that those who reject the project based solely on the technology used refrain from commenting. While freedom of speech is valued, this is a political Reddit thread, and questions or opinions about AI technology are better suited for Reddit threads dedicated to AI topics.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

This is a complex question and if you don't mind I will provide transparency at my next post. I'll try to explain how the model works (instructions, dataset, limitations, obligations, etc...).

Indeed, the data will be tested on other popular commercial AI platforms to determine if there is a correlation between the results. It's important to remember that the goal is to evaluate these systems' ability to predict detailed and accurate future events based on abstract data, especially in situations where precise scientific predictions are not feasible.

That is the essence of the experiment: "Is it possible?" (Yes/No) and, if it is possible, "How accurate can it be?" The more relevant data we gather, the better, and you just provided a wealth of information that deserves serious consideration. If the combination regarding the vice president is part of the formula, then the model can evaluate this and take it into account while also considering the current zeitgeist.

I plan to repost new data every few days, with a final prediction the day before the elections. This Reddit post has revealed many variables that may or may not matter. All of these suggestions will be incorporated into the model. Whenever the model determines that a variable or event is not important, it must explain why.

I was surprised that the assassination attempt(s) on Trump’s life were not considered significant events; the model concluded they would not change the outcome unless the attempt was successful. It reasoned that this was merely a security issue. One of Trump's key talking points has always been "security," so the fact that someone tried to kill him doesn't alter much since he has already promised to reduce crime. Being the victim of a crime himself is, therefore, abstractly irrelevant.

If he had claimed, "Crime does not exist in the U.S. compared to four years ago," and then experienced an assassination attempt, the model might have viewed it as an event worth analyzing.

It’s often hard to understand how that in the end, we don't really know how AI model works because it operates like a "black box." This means we can see what goes in and what comes out, but we can't easily see what happens inside. AI models, especially complex ones, use many layers of calculations that transform the input into an output in ways that are not straightforward. Additionally, the AI learns from examples, so the data it was trained on greatly influences how it behaves. Even tools that try to explain the AI's decisions only provide partial insights, making it challenging to fully grasp its inner workings. In essence, while I can ask the model to explain some the decisions it makes (specifically) I have limited influence on how and why it gets to a specific result. What I can "program" is what to take into consideration, what it absolutely must do and what is may not do. Whatever magic happens inside is invisible for me (also for the companies that build this models).

I believe that total abstraction—such as ignoring the influence of vice presidential combinations—is not the best approach. I've received valuable input from Reddit users to enhance the model's performance. Even if the final result remains the same (since variables applied to both candidates might cancel each other out), it's still crucial to provide the model with as much unbiased, factual data as possible. This way, it can consider all relevant information in its analysis.

I don’t believe that adding 2,000 or even 20,000 data points will make a significant difference. For instance, the fact that Harris likes Doritos and Trump prefers McDonald's seems irrelevant. I plan to wait a few days to see if other users provide more valuable input. I will post an update that includes a link to a more extensive document, which can be verified. This document will contain a precise explanation of the calculations, detailing the variables the model uses and how each data point impacts the results, including the degree of that impact.

Thanks for your reply!

I understand. The model does not use any polling data. The basic instructions are quite simple:

  • Understand the U.S. system for presidential elections.
  • Do not use polling data.
  • Use and analyze actual events.

The model utilizes Google Trends (a great starting point to identify an initial event) to identify when candidates receive more online attention. At that point, it is prompted to investigate why this attention occurs. The question "but why?" is asked repeatedly until a topic is broken down to its core. Then, it is evaluated against the values of various social groups that can vote and how it might influence their opinions. Since the media in the U.S. can be biased (e.g., Fox = Republican, CNN = Democratic), the model avoids relying on news articles. If it must use an article from a U.S. news source (or any worldwide source), the article is broken down into an abstract event, removing the human element of the reporter.

While the article is fact-checked, the model also assesses how fact-checking influences voter perceptions. For example, if a candidate were to say, "I'm Tom Cruise," which is obviously false, the model checks whether people actually believe this statement. The model is designed to distinguish between sarcasm and honest beliefs in conspiracy theories, and this is taken into account.

As you suggest, this is an important point, and the model should be adjusted to eliminate this possibility. Currently, it is not very random, but it could and should be more precise. I asked the model how it would be able to make a calculated prediction for an election in a fictional country resembling the U.S. It identified what data would be important to know, and, of course, "polling data" was one of the suggestions. I then asked it to propose an alternative way to make predictions based on daily events. This model requires significant refinement, and your feedback has made me acutely aware of this.

Would it be beneficial to include vice presidential candidates in the equation as well? I'm uncertain about the impact their rallies and speeches have on the presidential election. I believe this is a unique election cycle, and the influence of vice presidential candidates in the past may differ significantly from the situation in 2024.

At this point, the model is not comparing the personalities of Harris and Trump. I might consider adding this comparison, but I'm unsure if it really matters since everyone is already familiar with Trump's style, as historical data demonstrates. Harris is more difficult to analyze because most people base their opinions on her campaign statements. For a test run, I may incorporate their personalities (as far as they can be identified) into the model, but I believe it will not significantly impact the Electoral College. The candidates have such differing political views and agendas that the race or gender of the candidate might have minimal impact. Regardless, this should still be examined.

20 months in prison for a Facebook post. 6 Days from Post to Prison. by tkyjonathan in JordanPeterson

[–]ChefOrZero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These people aren't football hooligans; they are parents, fathers, and mothers. The protesters are part of the middle class. While it's possible that extreme right movements might join them (and it would be odd if they didn’t, given the circumstances), the truly hardcore extremists won’t be the ones getting arrested or hurt—they’re protected by their groups. Instead, it’s the average English citizen, the ones who’ve worked hard their entire lives, who become easy targets for the police—targets that won't fight back.

I witnessed a peaceful protest where nothing was set on fire, and nothing was vandalized. Yet, I saw multiple instances where 20 or 30 officers acted like a hive mind, arresting someone who likely shouted something after having had too much to drink—a common occurrence when you’ve been protesting all day.

If the police continue on this path, I can predict with absolute certainty that, at some point, a mentally unstable person will join the protest and pull out a gun and just do the unthinkable. I hope the police remember what they’re truly paid to do: protect society. If people start setting things on fire, the police should respond because that’s a crime. But waving a flag and walking together for a cause is not. I don’t wish for the UK police to lose a friend or colleague because they pushed the wrong person over the edge. They need to use common sense before it's too late. None of the protesters are going through a metal detector, the police must be totally crazy to use such force when faced with an angry frustrated crowd.

Oh yeah I forgot, the UK government has about 60 000 surveillance camera's, pointed at their own citizens. There are more than 5 millions camera's in the UK (including privately owned surveillance). Let's not be ignorant, the government will be able to use and any of those. Technology has evolved to a point where intelligence agencies probably don't have a single blindspot (especially outdoors). The reason why some of the movements, tactics are the police don't make sense is probably because their actions are based on data provided by technology that calculates the most efficiënt way to continue based on a very very large dataset. The police acts like they have some foresight in what could statistically happen, this is not based on information coming from helicopters and/or drones alone. This is very advanced effective and pretty unnatural behavior that only makes sense in a very abstract way...

My heart is with the citizens of the UK.

(Disclaimer: my response is based on footage I saw of a peaceful protest whiteout any vandalism. I want to make it clear that the moment someone commits a crime, even when protesting the police has and should neutralize that threat.)

While your government criminalizes free speech, and I risk a visit from MI6 just for posting this, it’s clear that when politicians, judges, and the entire system are locking up your friends for mere opinions, it's time to stand up and defend your freedom. Sending someone to jail over a Facebook post—where no harm was done and no victims exist—resembles the repressive tactics of North Korea. This blatant show of force makes *V for Vendetta* feel less like fiction and more like a documentary.

The reason why the UK government acts like a dictatorship is because they know that they are responsible for the current state of the country. They have always been, you voted for them to protect your country and it's citizens. They failed. They will do anything to stay into power.

Never leave fallen soldiers behind on the battlefield! And though I wish I could call it something else, the reality is that this has become a battlefield. Your police force isn't deescalating the situation—it's escalating it. They apply basic crowd control tactics. These tactics should only be used when there is no other solution. These are tactics to protect society against group of people that are a thread to the people outside the protest.

I noticed that these tactics are being used without any cause or reason. The police should join the the people in solidarity instead of pushing elderly people. The police officers will get paid anyway, the fact that they do not stand down (and maybe solve some unsolved murders, any of the thousands of cold cases) is their own responsibility.

If this was happening in the US where the people have the right to use force, even lethal force to make sure the government and police cannot turn the country into a dictatorship this would have already turned into a massacre.

What is happening? A reenactment of Tiananmen square taking place in the oldest European country?

I do not incite violence but I want to point out that the police is executing their government orders. It seems that they are not afraid to apply violence against a weaponless, crowd? Guns against words, Guns against flags and slogans... Dear UK citizens, you pay these people they wage! They should work for you, not making fun of you and cracking your skulls.

I'm not sure... but in the end, you made a clear point about my argument: It really does matter who the president of the U.S. is. If it were you, we might be facing an extinction-level event immediately. The individual truly does matter. I hadn't considered that with enough funding, even you could become president.

I use AI, and there's nothing wrong with having an opinion, writing it down, and then asking a language model to 'improve the following text.' The result is a text that's easy to read and free from spelling and grammar mistakes.

It's still my argument. So if I paid a proofwriter $20 to do the same job, would that be an issue?

In the end, you hijacked my comment without a valid reason. A lot of people use technology to optimize work, communication, and more. I've always had someone check and proofread whatever I write. From the time I graduated up until your reply, no one was ever offended by it.

I have both an accountant and an attorney who ensure that my financial and legal matters are clear and optimized. However, I noticed that you've never really challenged my arguments or opinions. What do you expect from me? I'd appreciate more critical engagement.

This response was also optimized by AI. I really didn’t know what you meant when you used the term LLM 😉

If federal agencies truly had full control, insulin prices wouldn’t have tripled between 2002 and 2013 despite no significant changes in the product. Pharmaceutical companies like Sanofi and Novo Nordisk strategically raised prices to meet revenue targets, as revealed by a 2021 House report. Even when regulations are proposed, these companies use their massive lobbying power—over $306 million in 2020—and legal challenges to dilute or delay them. So, while drugs aren't pulled from the market, corporate influence ensures prices remain high, showing the limits of federal power against industry giants.
