I'm suspicious that sociopaths are a parasitic subspecies. Like there are these alien creatures that look entirely human walking around among us. They look like us, talk like us, but think that the general human species is inferior to their own.
What if they could identify other sociopaths, and were working in concert. Hmm, this is ridiculous.
Anyway, yeah. I don't think Clinton is capable of that level of introspection.
The fact that Clinton endorsed Cuomo is the cherry on top.
That interviewer is such a push over. Jeeze, who are these people! If you know the image is photo shopped, you say, "No, you are wrong, the image was photo shopped," not, "well it is contested, we'll look into that."
Such a disappointment.
Somehow this made it worse. “goddamn Alpha energy” - who are these people. All I want is for the dems to not be rich people faking concern for the poor.
But Democrats have majorities in California and NYC and other blue states. The republicans aren't necessary for this to happen. I think?
Ok, I went to that page, and took the "are you eligible test" putting in a few different sets of numbers. This is definitely not a public option.
edit -> Thanks for the link!
Are they closer to a public option than NY? NY really isn't a public option.
It's "basically that." But it's not "actually that."
A public option would provide necessary health care at zero cost. Without regard to your income. Without regard to your job.
This creates a situation, where if you earn a little bit more, you get "taxed" a lot. And quite frankly, sometimes it's better to earn less and get healthcare than to earn more and lose it.
Also, I'm under the impression, and could be wrong about this, but I believe NYC gets the funding for the NYC state of health from the federal government. So it can be held as ransom, by bullies like Adams or Trump.
I'm suggesting that NYC should do an actual public option not using federal money. Instead binding together with other states to increase leverage and lower costs.
I want to respond with something. But everything I write is so fucking dark and violent. Here goes, I'll try again:
If I were in Nazi Germany, and I saw this go down- a Jew or disabled or protester getting disappeared- and these Nazi brown shirts were shot and killed, or beaten to a pulp with metal bars, fucking stomped to death, I think it would be just.
I don't know exactly how to put this, but I feel personally embarrassed by this.
I think this is going to shift world order more than expected. Every country now must be nuclear. Trump is going to try to install himself as a dictator. I think violence will have to be the answer. Man it's depressing.
I wish there was a way to flag users who use ChatGPT to generate answers- and then let me automatically ban anyone above a certain threshold.
I understand and agree.
I have found that AI is super useful when I am already an expert in what it is about to produce. In a way it just saves key strokes.
But when I use it for specifics I am not an expert in, I invariably lose time. For instance, I needed to write an implementation of some audio classes to use CoreAudio on Mac. I thought I could use AI to fill in some code, which, if I knew exactly what calls to make, would be obvious. Unfortunately the AI didn't know either, but gave solutions upon solutions that "looked" like they would work. In the end, I had to tear out the AI code, and just spend the 4-5 hours searching for the exact documentation I needed, with a real functional relevant example.
Another example is coding up some matrix multiplications + other stuff using both the Apple Accelerate and the Cuda cublas. I thought to myself, "well- I have to cope with the change in row vs column ordering of data, and that's gonna be super annoying to figure out, and I'm sure 10000 researchers have already used AI to figure this out, so maybe I can use that." Every solution was wrong. Strangely wrong. Eventually I just did it myself- spent the time. And then I started querying different LLMs via the ChatArena, to see whether or not I was just posing the question wrong or something. All of the answers were incorrect.
And it was a whole day lost. It did take me 4 hours to just go through everything and make sure everything was right and fix things with testers, etc, but after spending a whole day in this psychedelic rabbit hole, where nothing worked, but everything seemed like it should, it was really tough to take.
So..
In the future, I just have to remember, that if I'm not an expert I have to look at real documentation. And that the AI is really an amazing "confidence man." It inspires confidence no matter whether it is telling the truth or lying.
So yeah, do all the assignments by yourself. Then after you are done, have testers working, everything is awesome, spend time in different AIs and see what it would have written. If it is web stuff, it probably will get it right, but if it's something more detailed, as of now, it will probably get it wrong.
Edited some grammar and words.
