I've found the newest models designed for coding do a good job with an initial starting point (depending on their context and output window and the size of the code). But boy if you find a problem (and you will somewhere if it's long) and ask them to fix it, it just mushrooms into a mess. So great for throwing together a template to use yourself, but a terrible crutch if you don't know how to read what they handed you.

And turn the temperature down. Granted there are usually a few ways to solve a problem, but you want creativity and imagination in a chatbot or something generating prose, NOT programming.

It would be simple if it was just those two things that restricted opposition. Let me just throw in another factor that makes American politics a complex issue, and that's the size of the country. Also...what power do you think the average American actually has? Honestly curious.

Good thing we can do more than a single thing at a time.

The original point of BLM was...one group of people shouting stop killing their own to a nation that was oblivious and/or not caring. Arguing that other people are also dying kind of misses the point and helps to hide what BLM was trying to show.

Same idea with Firefly. How the show was treated and the result was terrible, and it would have been great to have a better start and longer run to get more content. But we got what we got, and you're not going to capture it again. The bright side is it avoided going on too long.

Battlestar Galactica could be a rare example of doing a redo well, although for nostalgic sake I'm still more a fan of the original, even though there's less there content-wise.

There's always been plenty of human-made content that is slop. AI is just another tool to make easy content. Trying to categorize everything done with AI as slop is lazy and shifting blame, ignoring the difficulty in both moderating large volume as well as the lack of a definition of what is and isn't "good". Which really ends up coming back to the individual, who has means to shut out places that are regularly a problem to them.

The wiki for the rings Rings of Uranus is an incredible read, even if you don't understand a lot of the science. Each ring is different and unique, and very small compared to the other planets' ring.

Republicans trusted the government of LBJ

Yeah, but that's like comparing apples to fish. Those same type of Republicans convinced Nixon to leave because what he had done was dishonorable. Compare that to today's GOP of anything goes as long as they win.

I don't buy the argument that Republicans are good in a certain point of view, solely because when they complain about someone doing something, it's often projection for them already doing it. There's no values there, it's cutthroat to win and prosper on top of other people's suffering.

I do agree with your general point, things are very broken.

Of all the holidays some people have to work on, Labor Day is the slap in the face. The largest blow to its intentions was probably it becoming a day for commercial sales, following other holidays that succumbed to commercialization and deviation from their original beginnings.

Yeah, otherwise it would have been very hard before they came into being.

Missed the first sentence I guess. It's why I included the video for a much better, although also simplified and incomplete answer, and he says why.

Nixon must be proud of his party.
