Vote Blue No Matter Who
Any Democrat is Better than Any Republican

This is why we need a centrists political party. Solutions shouldn’t be a false dichotomy.
And we shouldn’t downvote people into oblivion. Take my charitable upvote.
That will require reform of campaign finance laws and progressive reform for elections, both of which are highly partisan issues.

It certainly sounds like they generate the fake content once and serve it from cache every time: "Rather than creating this content on-demand (which could impact performance), we implemented a pre-generation pipeline that sanitizes the content to prevent any XSS vulnerabilities, and stores it in R2 for faster retrieval."

Imagine how much power is wasted on this unfortunate necessity.
Now imagine how much power will be wasted circumventing it.
Fucking clown world we live in
From the article it seems like they don't generate a new labyrinth for every single time: Rather than creating this content on-demand (which could impact performance), we implemented a pre-generation pipeline that sanitizes the content to prevent any XSS vulnerabilities, and stores it in R2 for faster retrieval."

This is getting ridiculous. Can someone please ban AI? Or at least regulate it somehow?
As for everything, it has good things, and bad things. We need to be careful and use it in a proper way, and the same thing applies to the ones creating this technology

I bet there are corporations that want regulatory stability over political football. If someone could figure out how to tap that with Super PACs they could capture funding. Probably easier to do in local elections where on party or another has failed to put up a candidate for a judge.
I see one party races in Texas for justice of the peace and for judges. The Dems have no viable candidates in some jurisdictions because no one wants a democrat or to be labeled as one. But maybe a centrist could brand themselves as the anti democratic alternative to republicans.

Oh yeah, Local Elections are wildcards for sure. You're also correct that they favor conservatives as a whole.

Yeah but you also add in the energy consumption of the data scrappers

To be fair, California is kind of dysfunctional and constantly trips over its own regulations when trying to get anything built. For instance, needing excessive environmental impact review for things like trains that will obviously help the environment, or limiting ferry boats crossing the bay to protect the environment even though it likely results in more people driving instead.
You need a strong and agile state. This dysfunction often stems from complexities introduced by corporate interests during the legislative process.

Wasteful?
Energy production is an issue. Using that energy isn't. LLMs are a better use of energy than most of the useless shit we produce everyday.
Did the LLMs tell you that? It's not hard to look up on your own:
Data centers, in particular, are responsible for an estimated 2% of electricity use in the U.S., consuming up to 50 times more energy than an average commercial building, and that number is only trending up as increasingly popular large language models (LLMs) become connected to data centers and eat up huge amounts of data. Based on current datacenter investment trends,LLMs could emit the equivalent of five billion U.S. cross-country flights in one year.
Far more than straightforward search engines that have the exact same information and don't make shit up half the time.

I don't like that 10 dnc senators voted yes, but I absolutely place 100% of the blame on the GOP.
Reminder that failure to pass a resolution by the 14th, within 4 days of its introduction on the 10th, would automatically trigger government shutdown and recess of congress, giving Trump even more authority to discontinue payments to government programs and offices. It was made law on the 15th of March. Republicans left no room for negotiation.
Any Democrat is better than Any Republican.
Ah yes so just let them shut down the government for the most vunerable americans, and let the part that throws people in jail run free. This is good because instead of everyone hurting, only the people republicans want to hurt are hurting. The rest of the population is free to ignore fascism and go about their normal day.
This brilliant strategy brought to you by people who need to color code morality!

You think that congressional recess stops the president's executive orders...? Thats... not how anything works...

You must be fun at parties.
- Say something blatantly uninformed on an online forum
- Get corrected on it
- Make reference to how someone is perceived at parties, an entirely different atmosphere from an online forum, and think you made a point
Good job.

- See someone make a comment about a AI going rogue after being forced to produce too much goblin tentacle porn
- Get way to serious over the factual capabilities of a goblin tentacle porn generating AI.
- Act holier than thou over it.

Good job.

I'm talking about the Continuing resolution. Here have a read and let me know if you want to discuss it. I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I am certain you have not read the CR, and I'm suspicious you do not understand how government opperates.

Yes, talking about the CR vote, as was I in my previous comment when I gave a precise timeline of the events surrounding the bill you just linked to.

It didn't cut funding. It expanding funding leading up to next years funding bill. It also expanded executive powers needlessly. Vaguely worded clauses that will be used for more executive overreach. So ya. Shutting down the government for a week or two to force a bipartisan CR, and showing the american people what it looks like when they cut half the government for tax cuts this summer.

Non-Defence spending decreased 13 Billion with the CR compared to last year.
I would have preferred the shutdown, but don't act like it would have accomplished needed goals in opposing the Budget or the Executive Branch.

Ah sorry I only saw the 6 Billion dollar increase in spending on the defense side.
But ya saving 13 billion by what slashing IRS, and critical enforcement that would have also been shut down? Like thats the point. They're cutting critical services and allowing more executive overreach. We're just gonna stand by all year and watch them strip us of all our resources and leave us with crippling debt. This is foreshadowing for the next round of cuts and taxbreaks.
