Anyone who understands how LLM-based “AI” works is laughing at this. If you think polls are bad now, wait until ChatGPT hallucinations are part of the polling data set!

What in the fuck is this reality.

JaymesRS, in Americans used to unite over tragic events − and now are divided by them

The only times in our history we united over tragedy was when others leveraged the collective racism of the country to present a new target.

It actually makes total sense. Since the real constituency of most politicians who they actually are responsible to are big corporate interests, there is no point polling people, just poll Google, Meta and the like.

Thank fuck they slammed it. That’ll show those pesky fascists.

Trump could have a stroke in the middle of one of his speeches, and his voters would think it’s the smartest thing they ever heard.

I wish he had been president back in 2016. Things would have been so much better.

Dagwood222, in Trump challenges Biden to cognitive test but confuses name of doctor who tested him : NPR

It’s pretty obvious to me that Trump is looking for ways to get out of the upcoming debates.

His committed voters aren’t going to change their minds, and he’s got a good chance of losing votes if he goes on stage and makes a fool of himself.

PlasticExistence,

he goes on stage and makes a fool of himself.

That’s a bit redundant

Dagwood222,

I get annoyed when people blame ‘the media’ for Trump getting elected.

The media reported every stupid and/or horrible thing he said, and his voters chose to ignore it.

The media has done “both sides” with everything he says out of this weird fear that the people that are now part of a cult and will easily question reality, might accuse them of being political. I think them (the media) always white washing Trump’s actions and word salad has 100% enabled him to make it this far.

Edit - s/fair/fear

OP, you reversed the names in your post. You had me questioning my own recollection of that quack.

elbarto777,

Yup. Trump refers to Ronny Jackson as Ronny Johnson.

From the article:

Seconds later, he continued, “Doc Ronny Johnson. Does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas? He was the White House doctor, and he said I was the healthiest president, he feels, in history, so I liked him very much indeed immediately."

Jackson was elected to Congress in 2021 and is one of Trump’s most vociferous defenders on Capitol Hill.

schnokobaer,

Seconds later, he continued, “Doc Ronny Johnson. Does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas? He was the White House doctor, and he said I was the healthiest president, he feels, in history, so I liked him very much indeed immediately."

All of this would be the funniest shit ever if it wasn’t so dangerous to world politics.

Now this is what “I just wanna grill” should refer to.

The former president and presumptive Republican nominee referred to Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, who was the White House physician for part of his presidency, as “Ronny Johnson.” The moment came as Trump was questioning Biden’s mental acuity, something he often does on the campaign trail and social media.

“He doesn’t even know what the word ‘inflation’ means. I think he should take a cognitive test like I did,” the former president said of Biden during a speech at a convention of Turning Point Action in Detroit.

I feel like we should make trump compete on “are you smarter than a 5th grader”. I mean, the whole accusation-is-projection thing. You know. Like how stupid people always think they’re the smartest in the room… he doesn’t know what inflation is… so of course Biden doesn’t know, either.

MrTomS,

I’ve often thought it would be informative to have candidates take the citizenship test.

Most natural-Americans would fail.

You’re right though. It would be.

perviouslyiner,

For example, sitting down with a class of children to join them in coloring a picture of the US flag?

IsThisAnAI, in People can still be kicked off juries for being LGBTQ+. This out congresswoman's bill would end that

Lololol so is she going to change how juries work or is she going to try and cut out a very narrow exception that’s inherently unfair?

Edit: ahh this is in the state house, won’t ever pass, and is just a dog and pony show for team D.

This is about as much of a paradox as anyone abusing power is a paradox.
