that damage wasn't an accident, it was part of the push to better align coverage with the owners' goals

As a comparison, maybe. It's good to see how happy Mr. Fishtopher is these days.

I mean

the Democrats in question are pretty damn conservative and corporate-brownnosers overall

they care more about what other conservatives think than their much more left-leaning voters

we should actually make a new, permanent shelter instead of an umbrella

we can do better than patching, and have to demand more than that or we'll get nothing at all

Got to point out that the fight was as hard as it was because of conservative Democrats and fucking Lieberman.

A not insignificant portion of those conservative Democrats are still in office.

There can be no improvement until they're extirpated from government and party leadership.

I know! framing Ahmad's research as something serious or useful is infuriating

it genuinely reads like he doesn't understand how any of this stuff works under the hood in even the most simplistic way

really fucking hate how people are glossing over this guy is suggesting people will need to turn over their internet activity to the dumb death panel machine

going to guess he never suggests how that data be acquired

Without a human surrogate, doctors could turn to Al to help them make a decision, but only if the AI system is able to capture the patient's values and beliefs based on "patterns learned from data, clinical variables, demographic information, linguistic markers in clinical notes, and possibly the patient's digital footprint," Ahmad's paper explains.

like the hell even is this

LLMs can't replicate "inner truths", they produce output that has the highest probability of being related to the input based off training data

come the fuck on
