Imagine seriously asserting “but we need these people if we are to reunite a divided nation.”

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

If you think that we actually just need a civil war to settle this once and for all: 1. No, you don’t. 2. No, you don’t. 3. You are an idiot.

My favorite line about war applies here: "The aggressor is always peace-loving... he would prefer to take over our country unopposed." No man, if you're trying a revolution against the Constitution of the United States, pro-Constitution Americans aren't going to simply get out of your way. Hard no.

I think it’s time to understand it may be Trump/Flynn 2024 and if it is that would be a signal that it is a fully realized and moving coup not an election in any sense.

Democrats and Biden have put enormous emphasis on the risk Trump poses to democracy. It's central to his support. But Biden barely mentioned it in the debate and swing-district Democrats have downplayed it. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

An LLM’s target performance metric is to produce responses that look just like accurate information. I always think of the Lost in Space episode where they landed on a planet with plants that could reproduce any object. Problem was that those objects were all just amorphous cellulose on the inside.

One of the advantages, if you want to call it that, of having information of your own that you can check on Large Language Models, is that you quickly understand how badly they get what you know wrong, and if they get that wrong, what are they getting wrong that you DON'T know about?

Trump’s re-election will mean four hideous years of the GOP playing constant Civil War Chicken at best - as this Heritage Foundation ghoul made clear - and actual civil war at worst. Avoiding that bloody nightmare is a pretty damn good reason to suck it up and vote for Biden.

One of my favorite things to do, paraphrased: Me (to "AI"): Recount the plot to [one of my books] and name five major characters and their roles. AI: [Generates bad plot, correctly names only the protagonist, all other characters and their roles made up] Me: That's wrong, you know. AI: I know.

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.
Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.
The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.
Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.
