Same reason — most LLMs are 3-18 months outdated in their core models. That means from their perspective, “news” is all predictions about the future.

The important bit:

Those joining from unsupported platforms will be automatically placed in audio-only mode to protect shared content.

And I presume everything except Windows 11 Teams will be considered “unsupported”.

Well, also remember that the current model was likely trained before the data was scrubbed, so from it’s perspective, you are asking it to create a work of fiction.

Imagine a camera on the bottom of the body instead of where the eyes would be. Now have it circle like an eagle, flapping as needed. Telephoto lens.

… until it isn’t.

At least they’re not shooting protesters on sight yet; that was a thing at multiple points in US history.

The one thing it has going for it is covert surveillance.

Meanwhile JD Vance is telling them the US isn’t getting involved….

Meanwhile, Marco Rubio is intervening….

It all depends on goals. If your goal is to fake it into a high paying job, cheating works. If your goal is to enrich your knowledge, it’s useless.

But in order to always do the second, you pretty much have to have enough confidence in your ability to have a soft landing when you graduate that it isn’t worth it OR already have a better grasp of the subject at hand than the average intelligence distilled by an AI.

But to publish on AltStore, you need a developer account, which already provides free publishing on Apple’s App Store.

The big difference is that you can publish anything that can be notarized instead of being limited by Apple’s reams of regulations. But you still have to abide by the Apple Developer agreement.

At least AltStore doesn’t require a big sideloading song and dance anymore. But I stopped using it once the software I used it for became available on the App Store.

And Riley’s going to have to deal with malware and scams now :/

Well, DOGE already fired a significant amount of the staff that wasn’t focused on private sector interaction. There’s nobody left who could take time to police online speech. So a large portion of that cut just means that there will be a hiring freeze for positions focused on government security and investigations.

The guards and administration want him alive.

People like Epstein die in prison because showing up in court runs the risk of taking down powerful people. People like Luigi always have their day to be dragged through the mud in court before they rot away forever in jail, with random reminders that they’re still alive and suffering.

Why are people generally in prison? Usually because they’re violent, drug addicted or at odds with the status quo.

Luigi is in prison accused of killing a man responsible for getting people hooked on drugs, marginalizing the already marginalized and poor, and ruining the lives of millions.

I think the inmates would be more likely to treat him like a hero.

This analysis is spot-on. And it’s not limited to Trump. There are malicious actors in all parts of life who use the same strategy.

Next time you’re in a meeting and that one guy takes up most of the time talking about nothing while sometimes making himself look like an idiot? Well, that’s time he doesn’t have to spend doing real work or answering real questions. He’s driving whatever discussion there is, leaving little time for everyone else to discuss and plan. It’s often not an accident.

However, even when it is, this is survival of the fittest in action: our society selects for this type of person; behaving in this manner tends to ensure survival of the individual, even when it’s to the detriment of the group. As long as the group can eventually work around the person, it’s a successful strategy.

So just like a lawyer or doctor or engineer or parent or artist or security analyst has to stay focused, keep perspective, and work intelligently to spend time on the wins that count, the same goes for politics and Trump. Don’t focus on what his team says, focus on how society is affected, and figure out the best response to that negative impact, not the latest news-bite.

And yeah, I think that even in Trump’s case, it’s not all intentional; he’s just risen to the top because society selects for blowhards like him unless there are intentional safeguards put in place. And others on his team have come up with strategies to slowly but surely dismantle the safeguards that were in place.

The solution isn’t to throw up your hands; it’s like with a kid throwing a tantrum; ignore the hubris and continue to not give them the cookie, and don’t treat them as if they’re going to respond rationally. They’ll respond to strength and action, and still take any opportunity you give them to push the boundaries.

The White House may never be for sale, but it does have a history of being burned to the ground when its occupant provokes its northern neighbour.

Disqualifying? No. However, he’d run up against similar prejudices that make it difficult for a woman to win the presidency.

Remember that Pete Buttigieg was in the running at one point.

The Socialist party already exists?

Only with the extreme Overton shift in the US. Democrats may be more progressive than Republicans, but that’s really not saying much. Most actual Democrat policy is right of center, to the frustration of representatives like Sanders and AOC.

It’s time for the US to form a centrist party, instead of people having to choose between far right, right, and far left.

Just so you know, I’m a fellow Voyager user on lemmy.ca and I don’t see that anywhere I’m not a mod.
