America: running for president is the get out of jail card, because all levels of government are afraid to be seen as partisan/political

But America really has remarkably weak and poorly designed institutions that only work as long people don’t abuse it… Which is to neglect human nature and not prepare for it. America’s flaunted “checks and balances” never worked

2024 lack of primary - this one I blame on Biden. Either he insisted to have the right to run because “this is a tradition, that incumbents run for second term” and/or the party held that view as well.

Every time Dems got owned by Repubs was due to this reliance on tradition

Exactly… People are conflating the ability to parrot an answer based on machine-levels of recall (which is frankly impressive) vs the machine actually understanding something and being able to articulate how the machine itself arrived at a conclusion (which, in programming circles, would be similar to a form of “introspection”). LLM is not there yet

Too late, old geezer… Time to retire

People need to cancel Amazon prime instead

Editors are clearly woke

Korean SAT are highly standardized in multiple choice form and there is an immense library of past exams that both test takers and examiners use. I would be more impressed if the LLMs could show also step by step problem work out…

But government can take away the means or incentive for self harm. It is just a matter of society agreeing. That will never happen in the USA and Americans are fine. Norway agreed and they are fine.

Biden - again - shows how inadequate he was to run this election… People play dirty and he, as head of executive, was unwilling to draw a line

Boeing: outsources to an outsourcer who outsources to an outsourcer who outsources to an outsourcer who outsources to an outsourcer and so on and still has the shamelessness of appearing surprised at the shit quality and reliability they deliver

Because on JS the goal is to shave bytes to save money on data transfer rates

In some cases, the people in power change their minds and suddenly an oligarch who was compliant becomes a target.

Stupid rich people taking advantage of the flaws in American law enforcement and of the American judiciary system
