If I had a nickel for every time someone told the Dems to adopt a truly progressive agenda and it not really happening I could retire.

Our system is incompatible with radical change.

I’m not friendly towards the democrats but they’re the least bad choice. If there were another choice that wasn’t evil or guaranteed to lose I’d choose it.

TBH I’d love to not have to care about this shit at all. Humans are taxing and that tax goes up exponentially with population.

For example, voters apparently didn’t know what they were getting with Trump 2.0 and I don’t have time for that sort of silliness.

If it were a democracy Satan would still end up in hell.

Right but how precisely do those funds end up on EBT cards? Is there some bureaucrat we can put pressure on to push the right buttons?

If that man could feel shame I’m sure he’d be very upset.

It’s also how we accidentally shut them down before saving our work

I usually play as Victoria so I like to do themes. Like if there are a lot of other woman leaders I’ll do a Girl Power game and form alliances with them and kill all the men.

Or if there are a lot of colonizer countries I’ll do a reverse colonization playthrough and conquer them with the help of colonized nations.

Then there’s the genocides I’ve waged for the most sacred resource to the English: Tea.

Holy cow that’s some deep hurting

Except I play Civ all the time but avoid power and responsibility like the plague.

Speaking of plague, adding a disease mechanic would be cool

Which is what I said: It got some stuff wrong but it got a lot more right, which saved me a ton of time generating content.

I’ve been voting this entire time. Didn’t stop any of this shit from happening.

I only do it so I’m allowed to complain about how stupid this entire country and all its people are.

Swiss Army Man is so good. Not as funny or action packed as Akimbo but so many feelings

Okay so we get another squeaker election where the Democrats win. The Republicans will say that it was faked and wrong, spend the rest of the time complaining, and those 45k in Nevada and 120k in PA will flip back and we’ll be right back to where we are, or probably worse.

Why? Because that’s what’s happened every election of my goddamned life and it’s never going to change, no matter how many people die of starvation because a wire transfer wasn’t made.

Apathetic bloody planet. I’ve no sympathy at all.

What does “following the ruling” even look like? Does Trump have to cut a check for it? Is there some bureaucrat who pushes some buttons on a computer? Who will make either of those things happen? The courts have no enforcement arm. Congress has no enforcement arm. We’re relying on American humans to follow the rules and I have given up hope on that happening.

Interns aren’t that intelligent, either. But they can generate content even if they’re not intelligent and that’s helpful, too.

Having the right answer is a lot less useful than looking like you have the right answer, sadly.

Most of it was basic knowledge that it could get from its training on the web. The stuff it missed was details about things specific to the product.

But generating 90% of the content and me just having to edit a bit is still way less work than me doing it all myself, even if it’s right the first time.

It’s got intern-level intelligence

I recently created a week-long IT training course with an AI. It got almost all of it right, only hallucinating when it came to details I had to fix. But it took a task that would have taken me a couple months to a couple weeks. So for specific applications it is actually quite useful. (Because it’s basically rephrasing what a bunch of people wrote on Reddit.)

For this use case I would call it as revolutionary as desktop publishing. Desktop publishing allowed people to produce in a couple days what it would have taken a team of designers and copy editors to do in a couple weeks.

Everything else I’ve used it for it’s been pretty terrible at, especially diagnosing issues. This is due particularly to the fact that it will just make shit up if it doesn’t know, so if you also don’t know you can’t just trust it and end up doing research and experimentation yourself.

I’d rather spend three days on a train than three hours in a plane.
