Everyone who voted for Harris demonstrated that genocide was not a deal-breaker for them. Gazans being starved, tortured, and killed was not a red line for them. And yet they pretend that this position gives them the moral high ground to condemn others, as you’re doing here.

I understand why you’re angry, but that anger should be directed towards the Democratic establishment: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and all the rest who enabled a genocide.

Voting for a candidate that won’t clear 5% is just as bad if not worse than skipping out on the election.

I’m still going to do the right thing, even if only .0000000000000001% are doing the right thing.

The question isn’t why am I trying to help Stein win; the question is why you aren’t.

That protest vote was summarily ignored before it was even cast and won’t effect any level of change.

I don’t protest vote. I think that’s stupid. That would be like writing in Mickey Mouse or something like that. I’m voting for a candidate’s platform that I believe in, not against another candidate’s. Ironically, a “protest vote” would more accurately reflect many votes for Harris, i.e. people who didn’t care about her platform but wanted to stop Trump.

BTW, my vote was not ignored. It was counted. You can see how many votes Stein got on her Wikipedia article.

Genocide is a black-and-white issue. When voting, the second-best thing you can do is not vote for a pro-genocide candidate. The best thing you can do is vote for an anti-genocide candidate. In this election, there were two: Cornel West and Jill Stein.

Not supported genocide, for one

When did she say that? She gave every indication that she would continue Biden’s policies.

A vote for Stein was effectively a vote for the current regime.

When has Stein ever endorsed genocide?

Hope you’re happy with the results

If you’re a Biden-Harris voter, you’re the one who should be happy. Trump is only continuing Biden’s policies. Agreeing with Biden’s position on Gaza but disagreeing with Trump’s position must take some serious mental gymnastics.

I’m judging the people who stayed home, too; just not as harshly. There were at least two candidates on the ballot who had the correct position on Gaza, so those voters don’t have an excuse.

I didn’t “let Trump win”. I can’t control how other people vote.

As someone who voted for Jill Stein, what did you think that Kamala was going to do differently?

Yeah, imagine caring about people in another country that you’ll never even meet. I mean, how do I even know that Gaza is real? It might just be something that Jeffrey Epstein and Vladimir Putin made up to make Democrats look bad!

Fuck every last person who voted against Gaza. Free Palestine.

You speak 4 languages, but not Esperanto?

I won’t ask an LLM anything I don’t already know the answer to.

Why are you asking if you already know the answer?

What did you read about the founder?

People actually read cover letters

I have my doubts. I’ve had more than one recruiter tell me “I don’t read cover letters”, and even if they are “reading” it, it’s going to be a brief skim at best.

In any case, that still doesn’t mean that you should be writing them. My point is that it’s make-work. It’s there to weed out candidates and demonstrate your ability to jump through their hoops.

a cryptographically secured entry on a pubic ledger has some conceivable use.

We’re talking specifically about NFTs.

Can someone explain to me why all these empty suits dick ride LLMs so hard?

AIs are cheaper than humans.

Yeah, so far all of the cooking stuff I got from ChatGPT were things that I could’ve found on my own if I had searched better. It will give you a recipe that is edible. It will have the same 4-6 spices as every other recipe and it will require a can of tomatoes. These are all savory dishes; I assume there are a different set of spices and no tomatoes if it’s sweet, but I haven’t tested that theory.

It gets old quick.

There are use cases for AI. There are none for NFTs.

One use case is whenever you need to produce some inane bullshit that nobody is probably going to read anyway, but it’s still required for some reason. Like cover letters.

Now, you might argue that we should work towards a society where we don’t have to produce this inane bullshit that nobody’s going to read anyway, and I would agree with you. But as long as we’re here, we might as well offload this pointless labor onto a pointless labor-saving machine.

Vaughan was surprised to find it was often the technical staff, not marketing or sales, who dug in their heels. They were the “most resistant,” he said, voicing various concerns about what the AI couldn’t do, rather than focusing on what it could. The marketing and salespeople were enthused by the possibilities of working with these new tools, he added.

Imagine that.

Most people just use whatever OS their computer comes with. We need to have more companies producing cheap computers with Linux pre-installed.

What does he think “compute” means?

Doom had multiplayer. It didn’t have chat, though.
