Republican senators just were asked to say “yes” to convict for an obvious insurrection and if they did, Trump would have been constitutionally barred from even running for president again.
One word. That’s all they needed to offer. They have proven they literally will not spend a single word to save democracy.
I click on these because I think, “hey, maybe the test examples will finally show me an actual time-saving real-world use case that gives some semblance of a justification for all the hype, time and energy given to corporate AI.”
So, great, open mind, wow me. Let’s see here. The test prompts are:
…
Well, thanks Google and OpenAI for spending a few hundred billion dollars that you’ll probably get paid back in tax dollars in a post-bubble bailout, and for raising prices for electricity and computing hardware around the world, but I think I’ll just stick with my brain for now.
Haha, ok, thank you - 500k is a good number, since I put the chance of success at about 1/500k, but crossing fingers.
I’m not sure how to automate such a thing - some python script or something? I am sadly not a hacker, I always wonder how brute-forcing via a random interface actually works…
If Jonathan Ross has internal bleeding from being lightly brushed by a slow-moving vehicle, he is made of porcelain and should never be outside, much less starting fights in the street.
But it still doesn’t matter because he was only in front of the car as a pretext to murder Renee Good and we all saw it.
My problem is different - I mined bitcoins locally just as a fun “does it work” project. Got maybe like 6, and stopped. I have the wallet but absolutely cannot find or remember the password.
So… You’re not in favor of sane Americans?
I get it. But just like the UK isn’t Boris Johnson, China isn’t Xi Jinping, and Italy isn’t Giorgia Meloni, no country is going to show the reality and complexity from headlines generated by a handful of people.
What is happening here seems to be everyone taking out their frustrations on the exact people most likely to help.
The really striking thing about the contingent of non-Americans in this thread who are blaming all Americans, even specifically those who oppose Trump, is that I can’t imagine a psyop doing a better job of fracturing the American left and isolating the US.
I think Lemmy is still small enough that the people who are vomiting on the anti-Trump Americans and insisting on collective blame are probably real people, who don’t know how to direct their anger (which is quite depressing). But to explain, I actually can’t think of what Russia would do differently to accomplish (1) transposing anger against Trump into anger against all Americans, which helps (2) sever international support to internal American anti-Trump protesters, and thereby (3) weaken internal American resistance to Trump by making those of us here who opposed Trump feel and be even more isolated.
Solidarity across borders seems like a better approach. Seems like you would feed the tree you want to grow, and starve the invasive weed you don’t, instead of just relieving oneself on both. But what do I know, I’m just a stupid American.
Great, I agree with everything you just said. Constructive discussion! I’d like for that to be what we spend our energy on.
I understand it may remind you of that, but it’s not an apt comparison.
I’ve been advocating direct non-violent action here like MLK was doing (and, reminder, I assume non-violent protest won’t satisfy the angry non-Americans here who are telling us to “arm up”). I don’t think anyone is advocating for “wait[ing] for a more convenient season” - we know fascism is here, but the question is what is the move that (a) doesn’t cause it to dig in deeper like a tick, and (b) maximizes the good that we pay for with the risk to ourselves and others.
And yes, we’re all talking online, that’s what Lemmy is. I have called what I am doing “therapy” which I would suggest it in fact is, rather than “masturbation.” Living in the US and not being MAGA right now feels like being a battered family member, but usually participating here at least reminds me of sanity. (Though maybe not when we’re being told we’re awful because our abuser made a mess while they were abusing us.) I come here to vent and commiserate - that’s not mutually exclusive from taking action.
I wake up and go to sleep (very poorly) fighting learned helplessness and awful emotions because I see the same headlines we all do here, and whatever the world feels seeing it, it’s happening here to us first.
I’m not asking to be a victim, not that anyone is offering any empathy to non-Trump Americans in this thread. I’m just saying, hey, maybe those of us in the US who are doing what we rationally can to stop Trump don’t need another abuser? I guess that’s my message for comrade_twisty and others gleefully (but definitely not masturbatorily!) piling on the “all Americans can fuck themselves” bandwagon.
The sane Americans here are saying, “Hey, we’re your allies in this, we are trying to help,” and you’re literally saying, “No, you’re the enemy.” This is basically moral reasoning on the level of “my daughter crashed the car so I’m going to hit my son with a baseball bat.” It’s too much work on your part to distinguish between innocent and guilty? That’s some very firm moral high ground you’re lobbing spears from.
Not only is that nonsensical from a moral standpoint, but it’s terrible strategic thinking. You just prefer it if we’re all to be enemies? You’re asking both you (who is allegedly so infuriated because you are demanding a solution) and us (the people best positioned to try to help solve this) to waste our time fighting amongst each other. Great idea.
But to be clear, I understand when you spew hatred like this, you’re not thinking. You’re lashing out emotionally because you’re upset. Now the question is, will you acknowledge this, or will you respond by increasing the volume and digging in deeper?
The best-fit to Trump’s actions certainly seem to be to systematically destroy the US’s standing in the world. Maybe Putin proposed a trade in exchange for supporting a new fascist regime, but I suspect we’ll never really know.
They’ve also been refusing access even they show up at an agreed, scheduled time as well. It’s just a game to ICE, because refusing to comply with the law without repercussions just makes the laws dead letter faster.
Yup, I understand not all boomers are conservative and Gen X and Z (but less so millennials) are drinking some red Kool-Aid, but even the influence leading to that is due to boomer billionaires like Rupert Murdoch, the Koch brothers, Larry Ellison and others (set Elon aside for now since he’s just mentally ill by default).
Basically, we’re waiting out the effects of lead paint and pipes.
Schumer thinks the kill shot for the republican opposition is to focus on lowering grocery prices (something they honestly have no power or plan to do) while citizens are getting shot in the street.
I got a newsletter from Gillibrand and she doesn’t even mention ICE, at the time a week after Renee Good was killed.
They’re not even picking up the ball.
They are incompetent, but while it takes smart people to build things, much less intelligence is required to break them.
For example, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are creating an illegal workaround to the grand jury issue. Perhaps at some point grand jury selection has a discretionary or customary step that isn’t codified in law, and they’ll use it to seat a pre-selected MAGA grand jury. Or they’ll use false and misleading information to the grand jury, and then file charges before Aileen Cannon who will continue her Supreme Court interview.
I say this not to doom, but to be prepared.
Anytime I want to know what the administration will do next, I really just ask myself, “What would a sociopathic abuser do in this situation?” To be fair, that’s almost always DARVO.
Even though I’m a cynic about the reality we’re in, I still believe stories like this would slowly wear down the right wing propaganda effect, if MAGA actually saw them.
I mean, a flashbang thrown under a family car that stopped a 6-month old from breathing and traumatized an autistic child, none of whom were even part of the protests, for no reason. The narrative MAGA is fed is that these are left-initiated violent riots, but all of the actual data is ICE terrorizing and lawlessly assaulting peaceful people. Cognitive dissonance can grow to be enough to break a person’s delusional reality, but the biggest problem is just putting actual information in front of these people’s eyes. Because they’re never going to seek it out, or get it from a sycophantic algorithm.
It just feels insurmountable sometimes to connect with the human part of MAGA people.
Can anyone verify if this is the “new” update to the process? The article takes 75% of the way to get to this paragraph and isn’t even clear if this is Google’s proposed concession or an existing separate process:
If that is the workaround, it sounds like it’s still awful since it requires a Google developer account and really only would work for limited development deployment.
