Unfortunately they kind of are... it's kind of the insanity of the system we live in... their car sales are down everywhere, but they are making more from government contracts and AI speculation.

Which yeah was part of why my added exception was if the military is going to buy a shit ton of toyotas. Government perks have ot outweigh loss in sales

I did mess that up, did mean early 2016, or even early 2024.

Wow, he's really not reading the country very well is he? 2020, that was a 50/50 move, piss off half the country, earn the support from half of it. (again just talking on a purely business strategy), unless the millitary is about to buy a shitload of toyota's, I don't see how this isn't a horrific play.

I mean, even giving her all the credit humanly possible to someone who's acted insanely crazy for as long as she's been in politics. I don't believe she's said anything to even imply trump is in them. Only that he's seemingly opposed to releasing them, and that clearly some powerful men don't want them released.

Agreed there too, there probably could never be a large enough pool of safely organized data to actually make a child safe chat gpt. But yeah kind of the key issue I agree with.

also agreed on the inevitable implosion of generative AI. I think we're basically hitting moores law on it where there isn't enough data to even remotely train it much further than it is, and the mass output of AI data now, is we'll certainly be very soon hitting extreme repercussions of "incestuous data". (IE the internet is getting flooded with AI slop, AI models are searching the internet, won't be long before the copy of copy of copy problems lead to everything going backwards).

So yeah, agreed AI was always bullshit day 1. The greatest flaw was releasing it to the public in it's infancy, and it's very early on super impressive demos in a form that your average boomer accountant could see it and go "that's amazing"

I'm not doubting the problems of any government. however to make the case that it's not grounded on the fear of communism... It's not like that's exactly uncommon in countries we are continuing to do business like NBD, Isreal, Russia, Saudi Arabia to name a few off the top of my head.

Again not disagreeing with the general concept that communist countries aren't exempt from committing atrocities. Difference is a capitalist country does them "it's a growing pain", or "they are starting out, once they get big enough they'll fix it, just like the US did".

Yeah to me that's the biggest objection... he's long dead, he has no surviving family that wants good for him to my knowledge. So to me that's kind of on the same level as, digging up mummies. The evil actions he commited in life don't really come into play here, and agreed it's really stupid idea to think that his behavior is genetic.

Kind of reminds me of when most of the nazi generals swore to have no kids to not carry on their DNA, except one, who said "No I won't sign that pledge, that's eugenics which is nazi ideology".

I mean yeah, there's no question that extremist rhetoric got him killed. and yeah I'd have to say it's far more of his own style of it. The part that baffles me is how it's only 60%, unless they somehow posed it as rhetoric against him. To me that question is as basic as saying "did gun violence have anything to do with his death?", uhh yeah.

I have feeling the question is vaguely worded so that they can then try and tear it to say "is it people saying he supports facism the reason for the violence". So that they can push to criminalize describing reality and pointing out real problems, because some people might try to solve problems with violence.

Who the hell is thinking of these concepts. News has been running on chatgpt giving dangerous hallucinations, suicide instructions, mimicking love and attachment.

In short the only way to wind up with an LLM that's probably safe for kids, would be to start training from zero. Give it absolutely no exposure to anything that wasn't curated from the start... say the initial data set being a catalog of mr rogers and seseme street scripts. Starting from "everything on the internet" and then trying to restrict down is a fools erend. That's like trying to make a porn blocker with a blacklist strategy.

More importantly, The prosecution explicitly gave him a definition of sexual relations that excluded oral sex. Then nailed him to the wall for thinking it excluded oral sex.

Also in news, the 37 felony convictions might be because trump comitted some crimes. Does he think he's brilliant and the rest of the country is idiots? You aren't dealing with a criminal mastermind, your dealing with a batman villain. The issue isn't that he's so clever nobody can see his clever manuvering, it's that everyone in a position to do something about it, is corrupt as fuck.

It's the point though, not even completely undefended, still not 10% of the same level of defense as the primary points of capitalism. IE just note how much force, propoganda etc... is pushed at any country that isn't capitalist enough. Right now fishing boats are being bombed. or even non military force, like the trade embargo's on cuba etc...

and heaven knows how many government sponsered coups etc... Point is a lot of resources go into doing everything possible to make things that aren't capitalist enough have a very steep uphill climb.
