"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

At this point everyone is bad. People need to come to grips with the fact that republicans actively want to harm you. Democrats have no spine and only do things that won't threaten their position in the status quo.

People need to realize in a two party system there's a very large chance that neither party has your best interest at heart.

We need a whole new system. Which is exactly why both parties are protecting the status quo. They know if a guy like Mamdani were to actually be able to run for president, both parties would look like shit by comparison. Both parties would lose their place, and that void would allow for a new 4th, and 5th party to emerge. And neither side wants that, but the citizens would benefit greatly.

It's hard to actually be good at your job, when your job is representing the people.

We need slates of popular reform candidates for every position, including the president. Somehow there are no white populist reformers. The republican party is full of ambitious fake reformers, offering fake solutions to real problems, like blaming immigrants for the rich taking from our shares.

The democrats kill any popular reform in the cradle. That is their reason for being, to play good cop to republican bad cop, still apparently believing that republican attacks on elections is just performative and they won't follow through. That when the republicans seize ultimate power they will let those democrats retire in comfort with their millions.

But while we need a party all it's own, of populist reform fit to each district that agrees on the general principle that the rich shouldn't be allowed to cheat and gouge working people, that party should well take democratic nominations. The only way out is to replace the democratic establishment. Get rid of super delegates, cancel all contracts with consultants, all contracts with everyone, and start over from scratch, with new people in every position from top to bottom.

Leaving the establishment in those positions will just lead to sabotage and infighting. Like Corbynn in the UK where the left got drummed out of the party to pave the way for the Starmer faction to cancel the right to trial by jury, to put palantir and their ilk in charge of making secret social scores after they id every ip and account with id's and faces under the guise of age checks to protect the children, the same children they are covering for the rapists of with Epstein I would add. They cancelled the right to protest, then the defenses in court that got non guilty verdicts, on top of and before the bad faith terror proscriptions against dissenters of foreign policy, which is what the purge was all about, Israel, and the all importance of Israel makes sense only when you realize Israel has them dead to rights on raping children and other misdeeds. Lawmakers themselves, but also the rich that the remaining non purged lawmakers all work for. Academics, swells of all sorts, and we only know about the tip of the iceberg just in that epstein honeypot, who knows what else they had going on.

Point being, leaving the establishment in there dooms us to fascism. There is no future with them in charge. With their people still in their positions, they care about purging the left, not beating democrats, just like in the UK, where Corbynn didn't take control of the party and enforcement mechanisms and the left were all purged under false pretenses often in demonstratably false allegations. As shown in the Labor Files, leaked party emails to Al Jazeera, that I found illuminating to explain the establishment parties across the west, how they are throwing us into the arms of the far right. And betraying us themselves to a larger degree every year.
