If they don't lie Trump will sack them.
If they don't lie Trump will sack them.
You should go on the flight anyway. Fuck them. What are they going to do about it?
Have there been any cases yet this term where SCOTUS ruled against the administration when the lower court was not unanimous?
Congratulations and well done. Any reason to believe SCOTUS will disagree with those 4 dissenting judges? Seems like SCOTUS has exaxtly what they need now to side with this administration.
Colin Allred is pretty good as well, huge loss for Texas to have chosen the disgusting freak Ted Cruz over him.
David French mentioned something in a recent interview that really stuck with me: no matter how horrible Trump is or how shitty the country becomes under his regime, they always fall back on the delusion that "the left is worse".
What progressive democrats ever won house or senate seats or governerships in a purple district or state? Show us the model you claim works. Every time I look it is either centrist Democrats or MAGA Nazis winning in these areas. If you are proposing a strategy that ends up losing, the Nazis win.
Elon doing what he does best, bilking taxpayers
240+ people were sent to a torture sex abuse gulag in defiance of a court order, and the appeals court prohibited any consequences for breaking that order. We need to wake up and realise the courts will protect Trump at all costs. They want to be a friend and not an enemy of the regime.
If there is no one able or willing to enforce a court order, why would it ever be followed?
Unfortunately as is often the case, such as with Venezuela, by the time the economy melts down the despot will have accumulated so much power as to be effectively unremovable.
Soon an ounce of gold is going to cost a wheelbarrow full of $100 bills
We are at the point that parents with minor transgender children in the US need to flee the country and seek asylum. It is going to get worse before it gets better. Might have a chance with Canada.
Any bets he will send in his Gestapo and arrest her soon?
What's the point of having requirements in laws such as "emergencies" and "cause" if SCOTUS effectively says the president has sole discretion to decide when these events occur? How is that any different than having no such requirement?
Still not quite accurate: he is attempting to fire her using most likely illegal methods. It is not yet a done deal.
And making it past tense no less, as if it is already a done deal. Can't even make a claim of journalistic neutrality here, this is outright pro-government propaganda.
The craziest part about this is who didn't see this coming? Aren't markets supposed to be forward looking and already incorporate obvious events ahead of time?
When you have 5 or 6 SCOTUS judges approving of dictatorship, and both chambers of congress with majority of members pro-dictatorship, and an elected dictator president, then there is nothing left to hold up the constitutional order.
That's exactly why they were killed.
I imagine once voting no longer matters, these same people will say "We need to stop talking about voting and democracy and stick to the kitchen table issues."
The only way to convince many of them to remove their support is if the country goes to shit like happened to Venezuela. However, it takes several years by which time his power will be so entrenched that votes will no longer matter.
Don't think a guy like that cares about organization or winning elections. MAGA embraced the conspiracists, tech billionaires, crypto, MAHA, white/christian nationalists with open arms, while the far left would prefer to kick people like Mark Cuban to the curb.
SCOTUS will jump in to save them, as always.
Not to say X isn't vile, but let's not pretend here.
I don't see any back and forth in those replies. ~100% of them are against the article, and not all of them are civil.
These standards might as well be from ancient Rome at this point. The old liberal order no longer applies while MAGA is in charge.
" all official activities that involve supporters of MAGA and Trump."
Misconduct only applies to law enforced against MAGA. Fascism in action.
Isn't SpaceX losing shit tons of money? Why would it pay income tax?
He's going to start firing the people responsible for calculating these deficit numbers next.
So in other words, his nomination will sail through the senate since he has just the kind of "qualifications" they are looking for.
Was better
Why has it taken this long to require such basic standards? Haven't immigration detentions been going on for decades at this point? I worry it will be difficult to enforce and SCOTUS will step in to save the administration as they always do, but at least it's something.
I thought this was an Onion piece at first.
Any private/non-profit organizations able to generate reliable information on these statistics going forward? The BLS is now the department of BS.
He is taking it on faith that "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon."
To be fair Mark, Bluesky users who bitch are not a representative example of Dems. I thought Ezra Kelin's book, for example, is the kind of innovation we need. He is a progressive Dem. Don't lump everyone into the same bucket. It's a big tent, after all.
The post you quoted is magical thinking. Magical thinking isn't going to protect democracy or win elections. So what use is it other than virtual signaling to the tribe?
Authoritarian leaders always want their capital cities to look pristine. From the subway stations to kicking out the old and disabled, makes for good propaganda to prop up the regime.
I use MailMaestro for email management and Claude 3.7 Sonnet for assiatance with brainstorming and as an aid in reviewing written materials I prepare and offering suggestions/brainstorming. LLMs presently tend to work best on routine tasks that don't require too much specialized skills.
How do we enforce and beef up consequences for violations of ethics? The most fustrating thing about this era is the lack of accountability and consequences, and not just for ethics violations but outright lawbreaking by government officials. Better enforcement mechanisms are also necessary.
100% agree. The phrase "first world problems" became a trend for a reason. It was always baffling to me how so many people viewed the US government as extremely wasteful, corrupt and didn't do anything for them. So naive, they take so much for granted vs many other parts of the world.
What I have been trying to say is that if you know how to use this tool and where it can be integrated into your workflow, you will not get burned. And the environmental costs are not as clear cut as you are making it out when you consider the benefits: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Yes, I don't agree with the people overhyping its capabilities and we should be highly skeptical of any marketing claims, but there are presently high value added use cases when integrating LLMs into one's workflow. Experience also counts. Naive users may get burned but hopefully learn from it.
Replacements, at least not for some time. Companies that overestimate the capabilities of AI will have poor results, similar with those that underestimate it.
The people who know how to integrate AI into their workflow are actually more valuable as they spend less time on mundane tasks and more on high value added activities. People who are engaged in routine, repetitive tasks will probably be replaced, but I don't believe the hype about AGI and mass...
I don't mind the disagreement but the copying of childish MAGA insults shows me they have way more in common with the fascists than they have differences. If the tech doesn't work for you or isn't useful to you, fine, but don't knock the rest of us who obtain value from it on a daily basis.
In my experience the only people who use inaccurate results are those who either don't care about them or are ignorant of them (and how to avoid them).
An LLM is a very fancy and complex calculator. The analogy isn't perfect but once you learn it's limitations and how best to enter operations (inputs) you can avoid most of the mistakes. It is really only people that don't care about inaccuracies or are ignorant of them that will receive them.
You luddites are all the same. Resort to childish ad hominems like Trump and the MAGA crowd when someone doesn't agree with you.
And then one also needs to know its limitations as well. Trying to create an algebraic graph from a simple scientific calculator is going to be all but useless. Similarly, having it conduct research which one knows nothing about is not at this stage very effective.
If I want to get 2 + 2 and enter 2 - 2 in a calculator, wonder why it didn't give the right answer, then the problem isn't the calculator. An LLM can be prompted with things like "verify using trusted sources from the web, and provide those sources in the answer" to give much more accurate results.
The court is entrenching minority rule with dubious legal basis and obvious political hackery. Anyone other than that minority who benefts ought not to treat this court as in any way legitimate.
But isn't that the equivalent of mashing a bunch of numbers that appear on a math problem into a calculator and expecting the right answer? A lazy student that has no concept of how to properly use a calculator and no concept of what the right answer should look like will get wrong answer.
I know it is funny when these models mess up but it isn't really that difficult to make a more complex prompt to avoid these mistakes. This took about 5 minutes to generate. Had to correct it once when some of the images didn't load properly.
Riiiight, resort to MAGA deny, lie and evade tactics 🤪, who are you trying to convice? Are you one of the fraud grifters trying to dupe people? You may have better luck on Twitler or a podcast.
Another luddite resorting to ad homenim. You aren't going to convince anyone with such childish tactics.
Try using a prompt such as "verify each one exists by using trusted sources on the web." Generate a list of books on the history of American fascism after 1945. Reason carefully about each title and verify it actually exists by using trusted sources on the web.
My time spent daily on emails has gone from about one hour to 30 minutes since implementing the aid of LLMs, and the quality of the responses are slightly higher in my estimation. Additionally, it helps me prioritize the most important emails, and the very complex ones I still do primary myself.
Far less than starting from scratch myself. I already review and edit the emails I write myself, so this is one less step. The LLM also gets a feel for how I would respond to emails after training on my past emails, so the accuracy rate is already quite high.
People who have no logic and can't win an argument resort to ad hominem. Notice the person I responded to said it can't give a list of books without hallucinating. I provided a counter to that claim and your response is to fail to read the argument at hand and cry and scream.
Or here is another one I've seen going around Bluesky: Generate a list of all states containing the letter R. Verify your responses with reasoning through each individual letter contained in the spelling of each state. A cursory look over it appears to be accurate.
Give me a suggestion for 5 books for a summer reading list. Verify that these books exist by sourcing them to links on the web. (The links work by the way)
You can greatly reduce hallucination rates by having more detailed prompts. Very short or general prompts are not the way to use this tool.
I use it to automate routine tasks (preparing responses to mundane emails, which I can then review/edit and send out quickly), prioritizing my emails, writing documentation, and filling out standardized forms. Also useful in brainstorming. Useful in several coding tasks. Fair at summarizing.
This is what I call legal theatre. We live in the age of fraudulence, so we have MAGA lawyers crafting legal sounding arguments and MAGA judges crafting legal sounding opinions, with the goal being to dupe the masses to enact their agenda. And it's working.
Bluesky users also skew heavily toward luddite attitudes as well.
It's probably an 80/20 thing. 20% of people understand their benefits and limitations and how to work around those limitations, and reap 80% of the benefits. The rest do not and therefore just harp on the limitations.
I won't be surprised if they detain her again at some point in the near future.
As we saw in the Jublee debate against Mehdi Hassan, they couldn't give a fuck about the constitution.
We owe him compensation and justice against the perpetrators: Miller, Rubio, 47, Noem, Homan, Bove among others.
It is also a form of eugenics. RFK Jr. fundamentally believes only the weak get sick and deserve to die. Medical interventions allow the weak to survive. Only the strong and healthy should survive.
These grifters are predators, preying on the vast majority of people who do not have statistical or scientific literacy. If there was such a superior method, why don't they cite the academic paper that gives it? Because they can't. Narcissistic frauds, all of them.
That site is infested with white nationalists
Unfortunately the number of simple minds in this country is massive
It is a good thing to have an incompetent in this kind of position, the way Trump wants to use him, at least
...there is no way to tell that. Not to mention a certain percentage file late past the due date, and this can be especially true during a period of hardship. That people listen to these idiots is a symptom of our idiocracy, where in a rational society they would be shamed and mocked by all.
The "this is easy" guy immediately demonstrates his idiocy. Many payroll tax filers file monthly, not due until the 15th of the following month (employment estimates released in the first week of the month), and if any employee worked part of the month but lost their job within that period.../1
Anti-intellectionalism combined with extreme narcissism. These people are destroying our country.
"Due Process", how quaint
This is an indictment on Democratic leadership. They had the opportunity in the 118th congress to nominate and confirm a good judge, with a 51 senate majority coalition and a Democrat president, and utterly failed. And now people and the country will suffer as a result of their failure for decades.
Good for whom? It is hard for me to see how this isn't at least good for the fascists, Christian nationalists, and white supremacistists. Hopefully I'm wrong.
In other words, an almost perfect fit for a fascist regime.
The Nazis have to be removed from power first. Otherwise, he will crack down hardcore on anyone who defies him.
His rulings will always align with Donald Trump's wishes, so of course not.
"Widespread", really? The criticism is coming from MAGA because it isn't following Donald Trump's wishes. In other words, the so called "widespread criticism" is that they are trying to maintain independence. Is your solution that they need to give up their independence so the criticism goes away?
You enable the Nazis, help them gain power, and are too ignorant to see how. It is no wonder they are winning.
Then you unwittingly support Bove's confirmation vs a 2nd best option that could have otherwise been confirmed in 2023 had someone else been chosen.
But that is a solution to enact after we get a good judge confirmed. Instead we now have Bove.
"Some fear..." typical BS NYT framing.
While I'm disgusted that this is the case, priority #1 is slowing down and eventially stopping the Nazis. If/when that is acheived hopefully we can then begin to work on these other problems (Islamophobia within the Democratic party, as one example)
And excites the Senators who voted to confirm him
It's the reality of the situation. When there are literal Nazis taking over the government, it is vital to use every tiny bit of power to its maximal effect. By picking a Muslim it not only failed to achieve any gain in power, it exposed for all Muslims to see the Islamophobic side of the Democrats
Nazis marching into town and he sleeps right through it.
Biden and his advisors share a piece of the blame as well, picking someone even some in his own party would reject (for obvious Islamophobic reasons, but reasons that need to be taken into account when making such an important pick)
How do we not know he liked what they said? I think it far more plausable that these are exactly the type of people Grassley wants in positions of power.
The devastation is the reason he got confirmed. They want unethical criminal shit bags running the judiciary. Will allow them to get away with any crime and defy the constitution at will.
About the only point is to have it in the public record and hopefully something useful can be done about it once the regime falls. Not much incentive at all.
Administrative stay or not, there is zero chance SCOTUS lets these criminal contempt proceedings proceed. I'm willing to bet a large sum of money there will not be any criminal contempt proceedings for any member of the Trump administration while Trump is president. John Roberts will not allow it.
