Same people probably think pro wrestling is real.

Who else would it be?

And like 500 comments are people going "Why don't YOU mobilize the National Guard AGAINST them?"

Monday morning rolls around and this still hasn't happened, we'll have a little funeral for his political career.

You know, you COULD call up our troops to defend us FROM the bunch of rampaging thugs that are assaulting people in the streets for no reason.

Relatedly: I COULD still be convinced to vote for you in the next governor's election.

Frodo: IF YOU COULD CALL GIANT EAGLES ALL ALONG WHY DID WE DO ALL THAT FUCKING WALKING? Gandalf: THE EAGLES ARE A PROUD, MAJESTIC PEOPLE, NOT TO BE SUMMONED ON A WHIM Eagle: * Reaches up and eats Sam in two bites * Gandalf: ALSO, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE RIDING ONE WHEN IT GETS HUNGRY Frodo: HA HA HAAA! LAND THIS BABY! IT'S FUCKING WALK O'CLOCK!

Yeah....

When it's all said and done, he's just a Democrat after all.

2 Teen Girls Died In a Hit-And-Run. Another Teen Faces Murder Charges.

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.

Great. So I can ask ChatGPT to pay my $400 electric bill.

The next 48 hours are going to define his governorship. He has a choice to

A) Stand with the people of Illinois and pick a MASSIVE fight with Trump and/or the police

B) roll over for them and hope to try and spin his capitulation as something positive.

Typical Democrat would choose B)

BIG facts.

That still means that for all his tough guy rhetoric, the real question is: will he actually step up to that fight, or will he cave and bow down to the fascists like all the rest?

Probably because he knows that if he ordered state troopers to arrest ICE and clear them out, they would likely refuse, and if he pressed the issue, they'd launch a coup.

American police are their own political party. They don't answer to anyone or anything outside their own chain of command.

Pritzker's credibility drops by 2% percentage point every day he allows this to happen in this state.

Double that for his reelection chances.

I actually DID have "Israel launches actual terrorist attacks in neutral countries" on my bingo card but I'm still a little bit surprised it finally came to this.

IL Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh: "I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague."

Only because the finished product is itself a complex system. But that's equally true of a sufficiently complex videogame.

Just because you don't understand what's causing all the memory leaks in Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't mean one of the characters has become sentient and is trying to escape the game.

Sure, but only in the sense that MOST software applications are incredibly complex systems and unexpected behavior can emerge from causes that are poorly understood.

That is, and I mean this completely literally, a BUG, not a FEATURE.

And OP is simply wrong. The behavior of cellular automata is, fundamentally, a mathematical function. We understand everything ABOUT those functions and the underlying logic.

"If don't understand how it works, then no one else could either. It must be magic."

Replicating a complex process requires understanding how it works on all levels.

The only reason you doubt this is because you've never tried to DO it and you don't understand how many MILLIONS of times your whole simulation would fall apart because of some minute detail you overlooked.

I mean they don't even TRY to make a prediction more than about 10 days out, and they're still wrong half the time.

Put another way: you cannot predict the evolution of a weather pattern 6 months out. You CAN feed 50 years of weather reports into a generative AI and have it make a statistically believable spread pf weather reports for the next 6 months.

It might even guess right 60% of the time.

If you don't even understand the PARTS of a complex system, replicating the whole is out of the question entirely.

The best you can do is simulate its behavior without replicating ANY of the underlying interactions that bring that behavior about.

And that's what LLMs are.

But you can't implement the underlying mechanisms unless you understand HOW THEY WORK. This is the exact reason why predicting the weather is hard: because we don't have good model for turbulent flow, and probably never will, and cannot accurately predict how weather systems work on long scales.

At 11:30pm on my 6th birthday when I decided I was going to have to figure out on my own how to make Teddy Ruxpin shut the hell up.

After beating the stupid thing to death with a Ninja Turtle action figure I thought "There's GOT to be a better way to do this..."

I've been working in IT ever since.

Second part is debatable.

No, you can't. By definition of a complex system, their behavior is more than the sum of their parts and evolution is sensitive to initial conditions. To "replicate" complex system without understanding it would be a bit like predicting the weather just from photographs of clouds.

Intelligent BEHAVIOR has been emerging from AIs since Mortal
Kombat II on the Sega Genesis. There's nothing profound about a machine doing exactly what it was designed to do, and choosing to be easily impressed is not an argument.

LMAO

Literally no one is talking about "cooperating" with her. We all HATE her and her band of ICEholes and the only reason we aren't throwing molotvs at them on the daily is because Pritzker begged us not to.

These are the words of a twelve year old.
