Indeed. And that is the core problem when an engineering discipline cannot perform or cannot perform well: incompetence.

Honestly I don't think the sexists are the biggest problem. They suck don't get me wrong.

But there's a group of voters that doesn't seem willing to vote for a woman to be president even though they will cheerfully vote for a woman all the way up to Senate.

It's not a big group but thanks to voter suppression American elections are so close that they can swing the election in favor of Republicans.

The thing about getting Trump into office in the first place let alone a second term, it required every single system of American society, economics and politics to break down on a fundamental level.

It's kind of weird because relatively small effects were needed in combination to get us into this giant fucking mess. If any one of those effects hadn't been there our civilization would have survived.

They are slowing down the deployments so that they can position themselves to be in control of it.

The people currently in control of our energy supply are going to make damn sure they stay that way. And we're going to help them because we are more easily distracted than a Chihuahua at a fireworks convention.

Elon Musk would have pushed solar panels and powerwall, not a generator from Harbor Freight.

It's just going to string along a whole bunch of instructions from random tutorials that it ingested.

What's going to get interesting is in a few years those websites and forums that have been used to train the AI are going to dry up. GitHub is going to dry up too because a lot of the projects they are are from people either in college or putting together a portfolio to get a job and is just not going to be enough jobs for people to be bothered with either of those two things. Anyone going to college is either going to try to get an engineering degree, a math degree or more likely law or medicine. Maybe accounting.

Basically the training data is going to dry up.

I'm not sure it's going to matter that much when it happens. I could see companies just running with old technology that's already working and leaving it at that rather than hiring people or you know, having a functioning economy.

I have to admit I didn't expect to see capitalism destroyed by capitalists and billionaires. And in the worst way possible. Instead of fully automated space communism we're going to get a techno feudal hellscape dystopian.

Of course we're going to put idiots in charge of everything and keep the nuclear weapons around so you know, it's a problem that will solve itself. The only real question now is whether it's going to be the raccoons or the beavers that evolve in advance civilization after we're gone. Could be ferrets I suppose. All three of them are pretty close to having opposable thumbs I think.

If this is what passes for news for nerds or stuff that matters than things are not OK.

Objectively, all twats that I've seen from the fat apartheid fuck on his twatter account are lies, disinformation or fantasies.

The only firewalls being built at the moment are the protection rackets that trumpistan is erecting around the putin commie pederation to protect the latter from the consequences of their unsuccessful "little" war in Ukraine and the reason the old paedophile is doing it is the ruzzkie money that bailed the failed orange shit-faced moron from poverty.

Not only do they have built in latency they don't assume their investor's genders

Would be deep blue states without the voter suppression. Texas stands out especially because they have more registered Democrats than Republicans but virtually no Democrat representation. Heavy duty Gerrymandering combined with constant challenges for signatures and voter registrations in blue districts and of course multi-hour waits to vote in those districts mean that the Republicans can stay in power without actually representing the will of the people. Hilariously if you watch how they campaign they campaign is outsiders pushing Back against The Establishment even though they've been in charge for over 30 years.

There's a whole shitload of old people who think they're going to get away with letting America become an oligarchy in exchange for whatever stupid little promises of culture War bullshit they get from the Republican party.

If you're over 65 you might very well die before the shit hits the fan for you personally. And anyone who is thinking like this could care less about what happens to their kids and grandkids. Those little shits never visit anyway right?

But even if you're over 65 you don't really know how long you're going to live especially with modern medical care.

Or without it. Donald Trump has started using AI to deny Medicare claims. The company he has contracted with gets to keep any savings from denying the claims. A couple of my buddies were old enough for Medicare have already had trouble getting basic pills of the kind that they need to stay alive. Basically the heart medications that are the only reason they're not dead.

I'm sure it'll be fine. Nothing bad has ever happened when the German people have been under severe economic stress... And it's a good thing we aren't doing the same thing to the country with the world's largest military and the most nukes.

But on the plus side you can say Merry Christmas now.

It's good to have a second engine but it sure sounds like Gecko isn't long for this world.

I mean yeah, but everyone knows which are the good universities and which aren't.

There's absolutely no point disproving bullshit posts like yours. You have Google you're just being a little pissant.

So instead of pointing out things you could easily find on Google I'm just going to remind everyone that Donald Trump is a pedophile and substantially large numbers of people here voted for that pedophile with full knowledge that he was a pedophile.

And if you make a pedophile president then what does that make you? I think you know. And remember Trump himself said he's going to hell. I seem to remember something in the Bible about having no God before Jesus but hey, you do you.

That reigns in Wall Street. And there are tons of people in the Democratic party pushing for more who are very high up most notably Elizabeth Warren.

This is not a both sides bads issue. One side let's Wall Street run roughshod over you and your family and the other side consistently regulates them stopping the cyclic economic crashes.

The problem is because you think both sides bad every 4 to 8 years you let the Republicans undo everything the Democrats did. So every few years we have another cyclic economic collapse caused by Republican deregulation and then you hurriedly both the Democrats back in with numbers just enough to undo the worst of the damage caused by your previous voting decisions.

You really fucked up this cycle though. You didn't give Biden a full eight years to undo some of the damage. So we are going to get fucked and fucked hard.
