The comparison is instructive in the sense that, like Palestine-Israel, Trump has no interest in addressing difficult problems and regards US interests as foremost coextensive with his own interest to claim victory (however hollow and fragile) and lobby for a Nobel Prize

I’m leaning toward Lizza fabricated that detail, because c.2005, John Waters of all people said he doesn’t know anyone who has done it

‘The Voyage of the Beagle’ contains some really lovely passages
He wrote sweetly both of new sights and of homesickness (and he was under 30 when he wrote this!)

I get a sense there’s general unease with—
• how developers create & implement AI
• how businesses use AI with or w/o public knowledge
• the effects on business competition & job security
But these feelings are inchoate and there’s essentially no consensus as to what, specifically, to do about it

Anyway, she should have charged the Georgia fake electors, Donald Trump, Ellis, Eastman, Meadows, Chesebro and maybe Giuliani with ordinary fraud, especially with the 2024 clock ticking
Also not clear why she waited until August 2023!

Willis‘ teacher fraud Georgia RICO case was the longest and most expensive criminal case in Georgia history—the original indictment was unsealed in 2011, the trial didn’t start until September 2014 and ran until April 2015, and after appeals the case didn’t conclude until June 2024

Based on Willis’ handling and the course of the YSL case and her previous handling of the state testing cheating scandal, it was totally foreseeable from the outset that charging Trump & Pals under Georgia RICO was a huge huge mistake that was always destined for trainwreck

Sure, but those people who vainly wish we could just get rid of AI altogether would probably be useful for building a coalition in support of, eg, strictly regulating Sora or putting a carbon tax on data centers

It might be hard to get the genie back in the bottle but on the whole, even with large absolute active daily user volume, I don’t think the public loves what it’s seeing, especially with business entities promotion and use of AI technology

Idk on one hand the user numbers speak for themselves, but I do wonder what users are doing with their sessions and whether they’d be willing to pay, and whether ppl would really resist strong regulations
Like…these recent Gallup poll numbers are not good for AI

What is the hypothesized political and policy end-goal, though?
There’s a whole lot of scope there, like I could think of—
Eliminate generative AI?
Eliminate OpenAI, xAI, and other entities?
Require royalties and/or licenses for training data?
Regulate gAI output?
Regulate data centers?

Just anecdotally speaking for myself, I have quite negative opinions of gAI & the business entities behind gAI, though I have a neutral to positive attitude toward machine learning,
and even though I think it’s bad I have occasionally used gAI platforms, but almost always as (essentially) a toy

Still very low in absolute terms, and of course hard to make much from a one-year change
Honestly I‘d be curious to see a partisan crosstab of the year-over-year attitudes bc I wouldn’t be surprised if a recent increase in positive attitudes is largely attributable to Republican partisans

Yeah, definitely, user numbers and public attitudes aren’t mutually exclusive or incompatible
The poll responses are just another way of looking at things, and I think the polls push back on the idea that opposition/skepticism of AI is a niche viewpoint
