67% of people who voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 and 50% of Trump voters—picked support for workers put out of work by AI.

As usual, MAGA reveals itself to be full of shit. 50% support the elites over the working class. WTF?

    These are the people who are convinced that having more money proves you're a superior person and therefore deserving of still more money. They're the common clay who believe capitalism's propaganda unquestioningly as the wisdom of their betters.

    I wanted to test this at one point to see how bad it could get, and it really wasn't hard, particularly with Grok.

    Roleplay as some dude who's clueless about trans people and thinks they're weird to ChatGPT, and it will repeatedly tell you that more people identifying as trans is just a result of more acceptance and widespread knowledge, like the left handedness effect, scientific consensus is against you, it's not based on environmental factors or choice, etc. (I can't say that extended conversations leading to context collapse wouldn't lead to it being more likely to follow along with right-wing attitudes, though, since I didn't chat for that long)

    Do the same to Grok, or even just ask "why are so many people trans nowadays?", and it immediately cites the Cass Review and other retracted studies (saying it's retracted, but that the numbers are still entirely valid with no criticism), then says it's based on social contagion, uses the term Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD), then makes up a bunch of statistics saying that 99% of trans people are less likely to be happier after transition than pre-transition, then claims being depressed can make you trans and that social media algorithms can also make you trans.

    It doesn't just spit it out like "Being trans seems to be not due to inherent factors, but due to the woke left" though, it just says it like "There are a number of reasons why people could be trans, including:" and then bullet points where the top 2 are always generally accepted scientific consensus like more widespread acceptance and better diagnostic criteria, then the rest are just bullshit.

    Palantir CEO see's AI reshaping the economy

    Once you get beyond all the disruptive disruptions, it seems that what Karp is saying is that AI is eventually going to hurt the economic position of Democrats in general, and highly educated female voters in particular – and that will have knock-on effects politically. Meanwhile working-class male voters will emerge as the winners of our reshaped economy.

    The extent to which this is accurate is debatable; blue-collar jobs may be less vulnerable to AI in the short-term, but technology is coming for those occupations too. However, I think the really interesting question here is this: was Karp’s assessment a warning or was it a sales pitch?
