True. The right is crazy full of grifters. It's as though they don't consider you legitimate if you aren't trying to rip them off.

This guy was part of mainstream Republicans, seems to be his response, so painting him as extreme wasn't ok. So I guess he's saying corruption was ok with mainstream Republicans even back then.

Also, Democrats are responsible for journalists looking in his trash. Somehow.

OpenAI even put out a paper a couple years ago about how they can't get rid of bigotry in the model. That simply hasn't changed. And you might not even be about to the when it's affecting the output.

Yet people are using these models to make decisions or affect people's lives. It's a travesty.

Can these people at least try to lie more convincingly?

Clearly a failure of training against social engineering.

They'd have to accept that they were pushing disingenuous discourse and controversies and white washing worse actors. But that's not what they've done with their life as ideologues. The deep rot of the right is that these were the best thinkers they produced.

Indeed. I am so tired of people trying to use one explanation for every problem. Reality is more complicated than that.

It's just too safe for a party devoted to killing as many people as possible through negligence and cruelty.

Well, these people can't bear to examine how they helped make Trump happen, so they blame other people.

Unpleasant facts are of course the fault of Democrats.

Really this is just proof that the Republican party has been on this trajectory for 50+ years, and the "never-trump" conservative personalities helped being about Trump. They just have no self-awareness and refuse to examine themselves or reflect.

Teaching students not to think is not the job of education.

It's always alarming when you see someone in power complaining about equity or equality and that this is against merit and Western civilization.

There's every reason to make no rash judgements and let them participate. If issues come up, and so far none actually have, the decision can be made slowly and carefully because it might still be to change nothing.

For now, it's just pure hysteria fueled by the right. Most Americans don't care.

Some research indicates trans women are at a disadvantage compared to cis women for instance. At least sometimes.

And again, are small competition differences the most important thing in child athletics? Do we want to start policing genetics in general then?

The trans athletes issue is on the order of a number of kids you can count on one or two hands in the entire US. Even if there is a competivity issue, it's tiny, and it's far from clear that there is one. And even if there is one, is that what we want to decide is most important?

I hope Trump mangling everything the government does and people experiencing the damage will cause the Republican party to fall apart.

I don't think he's really that great overall. He's not terrible, but not great on average, but he's great at a few things. I really dislike him giving into fears about trans kids. There's no reason to do that.

I don't see how he remotely has the experience to rebuild the government. There's too much work that needs to get done. Obviously experts will do a lot of it, but the President still has to know a lot about what's important to focus on and how it should work together.

Amazing

I've been filling out my mandatory knowledge-based authentication questions with randomly generated strings I keep in my password manager, because it's ridiculous that anyone thought they were secure.

Glad to see new guidelines that make a lot of sense.

More kids famously make parents not feel burned out 🙃

And even though his time in office was decades ago, you can see just how deep the rot in the GOP is. The rot made Trump possible, and has been there and growing since before Reagan.

It's depressing that a show where one cohost routinely disrespects the other is still on. I only briefly watched it during the early Obama era and it was just frustrating.

Joe's an ass that is always convinced he's right.

Even ignoring the adultery, it's sad that Mika got together with an ass that routinely disrespected her.

He's always been pretty terrible. I watched him briefly over 15 years ago and he was just an ass to Mika and always convinced he was right about everything. Here he is stupidly supporting Trump's fascist power grab. Not surprised.

It's really not the same as the toxic nature of social media today. And we still went outside a lot -- helicopter parenting was very rare.

Rational trust is one of the most basic foundations of civilization. Without it you can't have a functional society.

What does he even mean by that? Madness.

As Spock said once on Star Trek: "It's often more pleasing to want a thing than to have a thing. It is not logical, but often true". Vast majority with regrets just thought they'd be happier about getting what's they voted for, imho.
