Darline Graham: Government run health care…. bad idea after bad idea. Annie Andrews backs it all. I have a different background. My parents worked long, hard hours. If that were sick, they had to get up and go to work. My mother passed away when I was 11 and my father just over a year later.
One problem with LLM-simulated voters is that they’re far too mainstream and safe.
For example, it’s nearly impossible to get an LLM to believe Obama was born abroad. At one point, 24% of Americans did.
This is one stock trade every ~ 8 and a half minutes. 7 an hour. Over 47 a day.
Biden and Obama combined made 29 trades in 12 years, 0 of which were individual stocks.
There’s a strong “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this” element to large US tech companies discovering that the modern information environment is chaotic, low trust, driven by whim, does not reward truth-finding, is not self-correcting, given to faddish obsessions, etc
Charm offensives from tech firms re: AI data centers would’ve been more effective if they did them proactively instead of in response to (very predictable) local backlash.
They got greedy. Now they’re trying to play catch up & it’s prob too late.
No one to blame but themselves.
I mean, he's right. Having these tech barons say "You'll become unemployed and machines will do everything you can do but better while I get unfathomably wealthy" just isn't an appealing pitch.
As someone who once lived in Center City Philadelphia (which is a hardly a dangerous area in its own right) and now lives in downtown Pittsburgh takes like this are just wild. Like from someone visiting earth for the first time.
when you land a punch on republicans they squeal like a stuck pig. Ossof shld keep at it. And every other Dem should pile on with all the other weak, embarrassing, pathetic new things coming out about Trump which republicans have mostly scared the press out of touching.
