How would that layer distinguish AI from non-AI?

1·2 days agoThey were 37% Trump voters in 2024, so I wouldn’t bet on it.
Besides, I think it’d be unfair to the Turks and Caicos Islands, who are at the head of the “tropical Canadian island province” queue if they want it. Hawaii should wait its turn.
31·3 days agoAbout 15 half-giraffes.
Ditches aren’t free, you know.
Though if you insist I guess I could rent you a shovel.
And they can’t legally join either. The Canadian constitution would need to be amended and ratified by at least seven provinces representing over half the population. That is never going to happen. Not for an American state that’s far to the right of Canada politically (ie, any American state).
Canada decides whether a new province is let in. Not Americans.
22·3 days agoOh boy, I bet the comments on this one will be useful.
Sorry, if we’re getting this fiddly trying to explain how “they’re not extreme extreme right, just extreme right!” it’s not going to cut it.
Canada doesn’t want Minnesota. Not even the “good bits.” Americans are just going to have to sort this out for themselves. If individuals want to become Canadian there’s an immigration process they can apply for, they don’t get to just declare their chunk of America to be Canadian and bypass all that.
Even that would still be bringing in an extremely right-wing population.
The by-county results are here, the twin cities have 27% Trump support. The lowest in the state, sure, but that’s still almost a third of the population that voted for Donald Trump.
That’s twice the Canadian national average from the same time period. Those two counties considered in isolation are still redder than the reddest Canadian province.
Minnesota voted 47% for Trump last election. It would be the most right-wing province in Canada if it joined. No thanks.
Exactly. These prediction markets aren’t meant to be “fair”, they’re meant to entice knowledgeable people to expose their knowledge to the world by providing them a way to monetize exposing that knowledge. Insider trading is encouraged here.
LLMs were trained on our social media feeds, after all…
39·3 days agoWell, this is a bit of a risky gamble. My first thought is “good, he’ll prevent the Conservatives from making any gains given how unpopular and useless he is.”
But of course my second thought is “that’s what I thought about Trump running again…”
They’re extremely right wing compared to the average Canadian. 47% of their vote went to Trump last election.
Ask them if they’re ready to give up their second amendment rights to join Canada. Ask them what they think about socialized health care. Bet a lot of that eagerness to join will fade.
They should sort their own problems out, not try to get us to do it for them.
Besides, we don’t want them. Too many Americans.
If true, then once again reality has managed to surpass even my rather low expectations. Sigh.
IIRC something like 4000 people went into Alligator Alcatraz who are now completely unaccounted for.
I don’t think there’s literally a mass grave in Florida to be dug up, personally. It’s probably in El Salvador instead. It’s early enough that the regime has some concern about keeping things hidden.
The American government has been taken over by fascists who are rounding up random people in the street, killing who they want without consequence, and are now blatantly and actively suppressing media coverage.
But only resist if it’s safe to do so. Right.
I think history will show that America’s gone past that inflection point now. It’s not safe for anyone to resist. That’s the problem. And that’s why resistance is required now more than ever.
Finally, after 250 years, all that rhetoric about what the 2nd Amendment is actually for is being put to a real test. Let’s see if the Americans meant what they said.
A week or two back there was a post on Reddit where someone was advertising a project they’d put up on GitHub, and when I went to look at it I didn’t find any documentation explaining how it actually worked - just how to install it and run it.
So I gave Gemini the URL of the repository and asked it to generate a “Deep Research” report on how it worked. Got a very extensive and detailed breakdown, including some positives and negatives that weren’t mentioned in the existing readme.
