It's not a very good analogy. AOC has two choices in American politics: Democrat or Republican. She may not be a perfect fit for the Democratic Party, but she's significantly closer to them than she is to the Republican Party (even before MAGA).

Schwarzenegger had the same options. He would have fit fine in the Democratic Party, but he, for whatever reason, chose the Republican party; a political party that has been overtly racist for as long as any of us have been alive.

Maybe he had some good reason to throw his support behind the Republican party pre-MAGA, but it is still a valid criticism that he made that decision.

Valid, but I have to admit, it's not a very useful criticism. What's he going to do; time travel back and prevent himself from making that decision?

Bred hatred.

Inbred hatred, more like it.

Capitalism was a mistake.

This is something I don't think people are internalizing about (agentic) AI. Its disruption doesn't stem from its "intelligence", but in its persistence. We are very rapidly approaching an era of infinite agency, but our entire society is designed around people having limited agency. Everything assumes that a vast majority of people won't bother to use their agency. Sending complaints to local government agencies, waiting in line for concert tickets, starting an online business, submitting pull requests, etc.; they all assume most people won't bother; they'll choose to use their limited agency on something else. Agentic AI will blow that all up; you'll be able to point the AI at a goal on your behalf and not think about it again.

AI slop will hypothetically vanish as AI improves, but that doesn't do anything to address the fact that we'll all have effectively infinite agency.

No one said it was "fine".

Calm down, pal. No one said that at all. If all you have is strawmen maybe sit this one out.

It negates any map that was designed specifically to counteract racism, because considering racism is, by definition, taking race into account. (According to their logic)

Notably, specifically designing a district map to give a specific political party an edge is not illegal. This will be a race to the bottom and all voters should be pissed. The natural end result will be states with GOP-controlled legislature will craft maps such that only the GOP can win and Dems will have to do the same to even hope to keep the playing field level.

People all across the political spectrum will lose any chance at representation, depending on how their political leanings compare with the legislature of their state.

That context isn't important at all, unless you're implying that the correction is wrong or misleading.

I think it's useful to bring attention to the fact that this isn't water being used by the data center for operations, but for its construction.

And let's be real, there's a ridiculous amount of misinformation surrounding co-called "AI", both pro and con. Someone providing context and clarification isn't something I'd complain about. (With the caveats above.)

I don't understand the question.

The New Coke fiasco begs to differ.

The cynic in me imagines that they switch away from real chocolate, everyone will hate it, they'll release a new product line that proclaims it uses real chocolate, but charge a premium for it, and people will buy it.

If your machine supports "fast boot", you'll need to turn it off.

"East Coast" doesn't provide enough information. If you look at a map of America and draw a straight line south from the western end of Massachusetts, it doesn't really touch another state at all, just the ocean. What really needs to happen is that the Northeast needs to be in a different time zone, and then we stick to standard time. But as it is now, it really sucks being in EST in the winter in the northeast, which is why so many of us prefer permanent DST, when given the choice without the option of being in a different time zone.
