Even OpenAI used to do cool things. I remember when they were training a neural network to play Dota 2 via self-reinforcement learning. That was genuinely cool shit!

based on how the companies talk, it's hard not to conclude that conflating the terms is an intentional project by the makers of the slop machines (the same way it's not hard to conclude that "GenAI" was adopted as a term because it's easy to conflate with "AGI")

The primary lessons here are that:
1) The Democratic Party had 8 months to find a person who didn't have Nazi tattoos and wasn't 80 years old, and they couldn't do it
2) Dem voters are willing to overlook a mountain of red flags to get anything different than what dems have been offering

I’ve avoided a lot of the Platner discourse because it’s a toxic tarpit, but I think the notion that the lesson here is primarily about either one political faction or something essential about “unvetted” newcomers, sits in some considerable tension with the entire Eric Swalwell experience.

one would be quite justified in concluding that there is no recourse remaining for preserving America's democracy within the bounds of the electoral process or legal system
BREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect.
The decision overturns the will of voters for technical reasons and gives Republicans a leg up for the 2026 midterms.
