Musician, guitar teacher. Covid averse\vaccinated\pro-mask F1, politically jaded, LLM/ML/PyTorch TensorFlow curious. Suhr guitars, Marshall amps; GT86\BRZ\FR-S; Canon DSLR; goberian, GSD ftw. Waiting for that 70s A.C. Clarke 21st century to arrive.
The deluge of "new, young democratic pundits" on YouTube is diluting what's going on.
There is no opposition, no strategy.
There appears to be controlled opposition.
Useless. The U.S. is cooked.
Trump is taking advantage of getting buried in the dilution of decentralized information.
As of right now, there is no reliable source of actual news, and soc media is an avalanche of uncollated noise.
*The U.S. is a dictatorship*, and no "reputable authority" is acknowledging it.
The hatred for people wanting a better life - the essence of how the U.S. came about - combined with cheering for an authoritarian military takeover is appalling.
Brainwashed sociopaths on parade. Palpable evil.

Listening to _Intelligent Machines_; I'm curious for you to finish your thought about prosognosia?
Re. you started to say "I see mental images"?
I have a (as a kid near perfect) photographic memory, except for faces. I think I know why, interested in what you were about to say.
Evil traitor.

I'm just a peasant, but reliable monolithic alignment without multi-cameral, cascaded *discrete* limited function (uhg) is never going to happen.
It will always result in "schizophrenic" behavior. The "HAL" conundrum will always be there.

Actual real world goals for LLMs/ML:
100% confidence in math.
Controllable hallucination.
Confidence checking.
The scariest thing to me about the frantic, out of control adoption of ai systems is that those 3 things are missing - but people don't seem to know or care.
Not sure if that's sarcasm....
Either aiding and abetting doesn't mean what I think it means, or we're now allies with Russia.

THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT COURT. THIS IS A DICTATORSHIP. Nothing is going to happen to them! *DOGE and Leon have already bulldozed the government*, nobody in power did anything.
Signs, pink dresses, complaining about Trump on shows does
NOTHING.
The Democrats have no cohesive message, milquetoast "ideas" about how to "maybe" pursue legal means at some indeterminate juncture - when the Orange Reich obviously doesn't care about process.
It looks complicit!
Russia invaded America without putting a single boot on the ground.
The Social Media Gom Jabbar:
I look to see if you have written replies.
It doesn't mean you're not a bot, but that you *might* be a human.
/ Orange Catholic Bible = disciples of MAGA?
Endless sock puppet YouTube channels of editorialized snippets of the regime's shenanigans
DOES NOTHING.
Compile damning video and pollute their search terms with MAGA friendly titles and thumbnails.
But making jokes and insisting it will change is borderline grifting.

The bigger mistake that people do not see yet, is that Elon is creating scenarios that gives him a reason to pipe up and say, "you know your majesty, our ai system can do that".
We're preparing to put half baked ai systems that think "strawberry" is spelled with 2 rs in charge of everything.

There should be compilation videos showing Trump being nasty, un-American. Videos that present annotated facts of his incompetence, compilation of his failures.
Without editorials. I can't tell someone to sit through a 10 minute video for a 10 second clip. That this hasn't been done is odd.
There are endless sock-puppet channels on Yt editorializing 30 second clips of trump doing something offensive or totalitarian. Th only people watching are the choir.
The discussion should be how to break the spell. Documenting oppression doesn't do anything.
Worse, he may think that but is productively a dictator and should be referred to as such.
I've been imploring people to stop pointing fingers and making jokes; this is literally akin to deprogramming a family member in a cult.
