I know but that’s a hard sell for poor young recruits, if they knew this more they’d charge like mercenaries

Shameless, veterans risk their lives for their country, the least the govt can do is give them healthcare

We need this in America, I promise you more people will use the trains

Why can’t they put them in a sound safe zone till the fireworks dissipate? This zoo is incompetent and should be investigated

Bit more than that, it’s maybe the end of American influence in the world because the neocon 3.0 agenda will bring intense economic strife and social suffering. The environmental and regulatory policies will lead to infrastructure deterioration and polluted air, water etc. The health policies will lead to a weak and sick population. The rich and upper middle class will live in Nordic countries or Europe, as they mostly already do, where they will enjoy the social policies that they deprive Americans of. Most talent will likely go to other countries. But I seriously hope I am wrong.

This seems like a crypto project, or something that will eventually be used to train bad AI. I’d be wary

God bean counters ruin everything good related to tech

Eh, people like Carlson use this rhetoric to try to get the young male voters. The Harris admin isn’t petty and vengeful, you’re thinking of Trump admin. Worse people doing worse things have gotten deals with the U.S. govt on a variety of things. So no, Carlson is full of shit as usual

Three words: tax the rich

I am not saying that. I am saying that if you take a really rich person and and really poor person, and switch their places, then there’s no guarantee that anything effectively changes about society because innate self preservation tendencies enables us to make similar rational decisions. Systems need to counteract these self preservation tendencies because often times these tendencies can be ruinous to the system they benefit from. Look at everything happening now, for example

The problem isn’t billionaires per se, the problem is not taxing people at higher income levels enough. People with higher incomes will do the rational thing and work towards self-preservation. It’s up to governments to work towards social stability, which is the point of civilization. It’s up to people to hold their governments accountable via democratic action. This model works in a lot of instances, but maligned processes can make it fail.

My guess is Biden meant Trump donors given Biden has always been friendly to Republican voters from the general public, there was an example of that recently.

Though wtf, why is Biden saying this such an issue and Trump literally said he’s going to send military against “enemies of the state”. Such bullshit double standards

I think it depends, if something is reporting on legislative action then a press release is not propaganda. If the press release is just making promises without mentioning specific acts or laws or legislation, then it is propaganda.

In a way he’s right, but it depends! If you take even a common example like Chat GPT or the native object detection used in iPhone cameras, you’d see that there’s a lot of cool stuff already enabled by our current way of building these tools. The limitation right now, I think, is reacting to new information or scenarios which a model isn’t trained on, which is where all the current systems break. Humans do well in new scenarios based on their cognitive flexibility, and at least I am unaware of a good framework for instilling cognitive flexibility in machines.

The only “woke” thing he’s worried about is unions and wage increases. All culture war stuff is a distraction.

The UK is a failed state as many society forming institutions are straight up failing, and it seems that the UK is only being held up by the finance industry, so elites who don’t even need the government or it’s society to function. US oligarchs want to do that in the US.

Rich people supporting fascists never think it’ll happen to them

Societal collapse doesn’t guarantee anything for people who want any kind of revolution
