Sure, we don’t know what makes us sapient or conscious. It isn’t a handful of neurons on a tray though. They’re significantly less conscious than your computer is.

I don’t get how the ethics of that are questionable. It’s not like they’re taking brains out of people and using them. It’s just cells that are not the same as a human brain. It’s like taking skin cells and using those for something. The brain is not just random neurons. It isn’t something special and magical.

The LLM systems are pattern recognition without any logic or awareness is the issue. It’s pure pattern recognition, so it can easily find some patterns that aren’t desired.

Yeah, but it’s evidence they weren’t going to be compliant and likely are not compliant in other places.

Also, I doubt it being recorded by a journalist is compliance either. The government needs to store it to be available later if needed.

It’s so you can see the top and bottom. It seems pretty obvious it’s left-right that has the differences. Just look at the mandibles!

Sadly a lot of good people still live in red states. I’d prefer them not to suffer because of what they’re “betters” decide for them.

I saw something recently that was talking about how individualism has led us to this situation. Everyone is thinking what they can do. We lost our collectivist spirit. We don’t think about what we can do.

An individual has essentially no power. A group does. We need to get better at organizing. This is made hard because we are so separated from each other, driving individually to work, then back home, largely to houses where you don’t interact with anyone else. We have basically no third places anymore where you’d typically organize. This situation was designed, and it’s going to be hard to get out of, but we need to get better at forming groups and organizing.

More men have lost than women. Biden was losing worse than she was and he was a white man. You say

I dosnt say she lost because she was a minority…

and then

At this point in history, we need someone who the electorate will perceive as strong enough to stand up to our enemies, and a woman is probably doesn’t going to generate that perception.

So, which is it?

Women can be perceived as powerful. If you don’t then that’s your problem. I’m not going to say Harris did, but it isn’t because she’s a woman. Biden looked weaker and, again, he’s a man. I would say AOC looks stronger. It just takes someone willing to fight. It doesn’t take a man. Democrats tend to run non-fighters. That’s the issue. Not that they sometimes run women or minorities.

Stop spreading this bullshit. Her being a minority had nothing to do with her losing. She lost totally on her own merit. Fearmongering about minorities losing elections only creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where no minority can run. Also, they chose Biden, a straight white man, so no they don’t only run minorities.
