yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.

Here's the announcement from Heritage that they've hired McEntee for their PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION PROJECT. They note that McEntee headed up the Presidential Personnel Office for Trump at the end of his last administration. This is not complicated people. www.heritage.org/press/former...

Has anyone published a succinct summary of Project 2025? Not like 25 pages but a bullet point outline? I guess Iâm looking for a Presidential Daily Brief version.

I agree and donât say to ignore Project 2025. But spend more time focusing on not getting to it, and then on stopping it if we do get to where they have a chance to do it, and less time on scenarios about the executive branch rounding up all political opponents.

LLMs are useless for lawyering and other tasks involving actual analysis and understanding not because the technology hasn't gotten there yet, but because that's fundamentally not what statistical word association is capable of doing. Not only can't it understand, it's not even trying to understand.
