But they’re bracing for long hours and possible late nights in a bid to build momentum for the bill, which already has broad public support. A recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll of 1,999 registered voters found that 71 percent support the SAVE America Act.

That’s pretty depressing. But then, I suppose low-information people would support any bill if they just called it “The Good Law Act.”

Oh, right, that’s basically what they did when they passed the, what was it called, Big Conservative Wet Dream Bill last year.

Edit: Oh, seeing the headlines alongside the poll that are all extremely suspect and right-washing, I wanted to check further.

Despite that TheHill reports uncritically about it and it is somehow associated with Harvard, the poll was commissioned by Stagwell Global, a marketing firm that is run by Mark Penn, who is apparently a “deep state” conspiracy theorist and Trump supporter, and contact info for the poll is not Harvard, but Stagwell, who also somehow was allowed to “release” the poll (“Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW) today released the results of the February Harvard CAPS / Harris poll…”).

All in all I feel the most likely fit for the above is this is propaganda and not reliable.

But if you ask hasjohnolivermadelovetoacouch…

Hopefully we live to see them have to argue for their own stupidity as a defense in a criminal war crime tribunal.

I thought I saw an earlier story that suggested they may try to bring the site back if hardware costs come down to earth, but I may have imagined it. Did anyone see that?

It’s just a matter of perspective. If you’re an evil psychopath, which is apparently the only demographic that has power and authority anymore, it bodes very well.

Fortunately for Trump, American corporations are so spineless and amoral that any type of threat, no matter how toothless or unconstitutional, will induce immediate pre-emptive compliance.

Love the article, nice work!

You’re right to feel insulted. LLMs are verbose and unreliable often enough that you have to check any work that comes out (or be negligent).

So what’s usually happening is someone is saving their time by spending yours. They saved the time normally needed to write a thoughtful reply by shifting the time and cognitive cost of reading and verifying to you, with AI as an excuse (often not without condescension, which is a type of “virtue signaling” driven by c-suite AI boosting). The slop output looks like “work product,” but is neither - it took no work and is a facade of a “product” because it’s unverified.

They are being selfish, and it is objectively an insulting act.

It would be nice that he said this on Fox News, since his supporters wouldn’t ever see it otherwise.

But if they’ve gone along with him this far, I’m sure they are fine with this as well. “He shouldn’t say it, but I know what he meant, and I have good genes so I’m fine,” is probably as far as they’ll get.

Well consider me better informed, thanks.

Have they…done that?

Ah, ok. There must be a quick, reliable alternative to archive.today given the controversy, but I haven’t found it yet.

Looks like this is paywalled, is there a readable link?

That isn’t nearly enough to protect Trump’s ego from reality.

Thanks, the link works now.

$839 billion (Bernie’s post misstates at 829). The most normal and human response to reading this list is to feel physically ill.

It’s been said many times, but to say it a different way: the government and Camacho in Idiocracy were much much better, since they immediately elevated the smartest person they could find to a cabinet-level post and accepted help rather than just lied about the problem.

Literally thousands? Have you tried bookmarking things after they’ve sat unused for awhile?

I typically just periodically save my browser windows with a tab manager extension. I just say because thousands sounds like way too much to keep track of…

Funny story, they actually did this to me before this all happened, and I was on a “I’m never going to update again” beta firmware that they gave me a link to, when the forced-update happened that broke my wifi. I didn’t disable any ADB-level processes, and I don’t think the system let me disable updates.

I mean, that’s great in theory. But the amount of manufacturers of non-smart TVs is tiny, and if you are interested in the best panels and display technology, refresh rates for gaming, etc (even removing affordability), it’s very very hard to just boycott if you want to have a modern TV at all.

Yup, really a core monopolist mindset. Money is a way to avoid competition, not win it.
