And if he runs the city like he's run his campaign then he'll be bringing good people with him, which is also the proper way to run a government, not the corrupt club of donors and congressional seniority the DNC and Schumer favour.

But if it turns out Mamdani's incompetent, it has no bearing on the fact that his campaign is the new mark for Democrats to hit and demonstrates the proper way to reach the public regardless of what state you're rubbing in. There are no excuses for sticking to the old failed ways.

His performance as mayor is incidental to the effectiveness of his campaign. This isn't about ideology,it's about how to reach people. His objectively successful approach for reaching voters could be successfully repeated by a conservative Republican in Idaho. It should be repeated in all 50 states.

It's a convoluted mimic that spat a collage of human sentences out because they corresponded the sentence you typed into it. And an LLM can never produce anything beyond that fanciful regurgitation. It is inherently limited to these crude 'hallucinations'. Bound to entropy, not growth.

AI can't confide. It can't speak. It can't produce thoughts. That will require an entirely different technology that we likely won't begin developing until we've mastered quantum computing. This specific technology is profoundly limited and limiting. It's reductive, not creative.

Asylum seeker who lied to get into Britain wins citizenship battle after 26 years More than two decades after arriving in UK under false name, Gentian Hoti succeeds in bid to remain Charles Hymas Home Affairs Editor 28 October 2025 2:24pm GMT An Albanian migrant who misled the Home Office has won the right to stay in the UK after a 26-year legal battle. In what is thought to be one of the longest-running immigration cases, Albanian-born Gentian Hoti has won the right to be a British citizen. The asylum court heard that the 41-year-old falsely told British officials in 1999 that he was a year younger than he was and that he was born in Kosovo.

This case has always shown the farcical, and inhumane, nature of the Home Office, across multiple governments and Home Secretaries. A scared kid messes up on their claim and it takes 26 years to accept they should have been provided with asylum from the start

Right, it's just a show for unsuspecting rubes. A cheap trick. A trillion dollar nonsense. Soon the bubble will burst, the economy will shudder, and we'll hopefully go back to doing things for ourselves and waiting for actual competent technologies to emerge.

The reboot is called Painted Gold, and it's showing in every room of the White House 😑

Specifically, when an AI "gets something wrong", it actually doesn't. It performs its actual function -- generating text that sounds like a person responding -- successfully. Producing true statements is not a function of the LLM, it's a byproduct of it being fed some accurate information.

This entire tech bubble relies on the fact we've all seen enough sci fi to project our dreams onto their fancy verbal collages. But this specific technology has no capacity for thought, cognition, conceptualization, agency, or any other quality. It's just a mirage.

To get rich selling something that sounds human and feigns intelligence.

An altered 3-panel Simpsons scene, set in the family's kitchen, with Homer and his friends playing poker. Panel 1: Moe says "norm-busting leitmotif? Ooh, la de da, Mr French man" Panel 2: The journalist Jess Bidgood's face has been superimposed over Homer asking "What do you call it?" Panel 3: Moe says "Fascism!"

I have used *and* studied it. The entirety of an LLM is a program to guess at what words a human would respond to your prompt with. It's just a highly sophisticated version of the autopredict your phone's keyboard has. Because it's fed human writing, it sounds like a person. But it has no faculties.

That's because you've been misled about how AI actually works. It isn't impartial, and it isn't up on case law. It has no grasp of truth or accuracy. It doesn't understand anything at all, that's not what it's designed to do. It's designed to create sentences that sound like a human would write.

Leprosy is better than cholera. Please try to actually respond to the issue for once.

They were open during the entire Biden presidency while fools like you slept and dreamed that simply yelling about Trump was enough to make up for your own party's systemic issues.

Try making a serious argument, perhaps.

The economy is indeed worse now by every metric. That doesn't mean it was ever healthy, or balanced, or working for working people.

Shit like this is why the Democrats lose on the economy. Economic health is measured by the security of workers, by the level of inequality, by the level of investment in communities. It is not measured by the number of low quality jobs created, the rise of the stock market, or the nonsense of GDP.

Is he seriously retweeting himself every 5 minutes?? Jfc I know they're all addicted to ego, power and hate but this is like watching a junkie scratch a hole in their skin

And this isn't about Mamdani as a specific individual, it's about the way he won. Which is entirely replicable, because it responds to the context of each population's specific material needs.

He absolutely did. He won across all sorts of unlikely demographics. Because it wasn't about being progressive or socialist. He won because of his *approach* to all voters, which resonated far outside his ideological home.

No, they can't. Because they're the dominant group. Misgendering can't have anything close to the impact it does on trans/GNC people, all it does is legitimize the idea that identity is a privilege. It's worse than useless, it only harms the people you're trying to stand up for.

It was still a gigantic mess under that senile war criminal, it just had some nicer graphs.

We don't need "Western" security. We need *global* security. We need to drastically pivot away from the US and towards genuine relationships with other regions, to stop supporting a crumbling civilization and start supporting humanity.

No. It's never, ever time for misgendering, in any context.
