I did a quick google (really duckduckgo because fuck Google) when ana brought that up and read the Biden (mis)quotes.
Unfortunately, my skepticism meter was on low sensitivity, so I didn't dig any further. I didn't pay a great deal of attention to Biden's campaign because voting for him was a foregone conclusion for me.
This is the kind of thing I look out for, usually, on #bothsides, and why I tend to be skeptical of many "interpretations" of what someone says. I like to see it straight from their mouths, or text, or whatever.

I've read some stuff in the last day where it sounds like the Reiners carried a lot of guilt about the way they had handled their son's addiction and mental issues. They clearly had taken hard lines (with the support of professional opinions) in the past with tales of him living homeless across the country, etc so maybe they were trying a different, more inclusive/softer approach....it is strange though.
Yeah, that is a terrible awful thing to deal with. The answer is almost always the hard line. I'd say always, because it's probably correct. But absolutes make me nervous.

Not my team. I don’t kill people nor do I condone it.
I didn't say you condone it.
But on the bullshit notion that Antifa and left-wing terrorism are our number one national terrorism problem, the American counterterrorism apparatus is being directed toward Trump's political enemies.

Why would you know pbs triggers me? Spend 6 hours searching me saying anything about pbs. ???? Also if you keep saying right wing people are doing this it won’t speak it into existence.
Because your team is obvious.
Your use of idiot terms like "Mainstream." This isn't media. This is data analysis.
More, from the Libertarian Cato Institute.
https://www.alexnowrasteh.com/p/politically-motivated-violence-is
Eighty-three percent of those murdered since 1975 were committed by the 9/11 terrorists (Figure 1). The Oklahoma City Bombing accounts for about another 5 percent. Those murdered since 2020 account for just 2 percent. Terrorists inspired by Islamist ideology are responsible for 87 percent of those murdered in attacks on US soil since 1975 (Table 1). Right-wingers are the second most common motivating ideology, accounting for 391 murders and 11 percent of the total. The definition here of right-wing terrorists includes those motivated by white supremacy, anti-abortion beliefs, involuntary celibacy (incels), and other right-wing ideologies.
Left-wing terrorists murdered 65 people, or about 2 percent of the total. Left-wing terrorists include those motivated by black nationalism, anti-police sentiment, communism, socialism, animal rights, environmentalism, anti-white ideologies, and other left-wing ideologies. Those murders that are politically motivated by unknown or other ideologies are a vanishingly small percentage, which is unsurprising because terrorists typically want attention for their causes.

Mainstream.
As opposed to fucking liars?
Here's another one from librul fags at Princeton. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2122593119
Honestly, people from your team aren't smart enough to do this kind of rigorous analysis.

This is one I actually have reliable inside knowledge. she wants to win a natty and doesn't think she can do it at Texas. Also didn't like getting benched earlier in the year.I mean, I guess it could be a case of mis- or underutilization, but she hasn't exactly covered herself in glory here. If she can find a place to excel, more power to her, I guess.

Yeah I knew pbs would trigger you. But facts is facts as inconvenient as they may be for you and Dear Leader.
In case you hadn't noticed, ADL is Jews, and y'all are supposed to like Jews for now, especially the anti-Palestinian ones like ADL.
Center For Strategic and International Studies? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_Strategic_and_International_Studies Inform yourself.
Also note that the Trump Administration took down government data to the same effect.
And really, all you had to do was pay fucking attention for the last 10-20 years and you'd know that right-wing nutbags are leading the pack.

- AI is all about replicating patterns and interpolating within data. I think most of the creative solutions in engineering are either novel or pulled from a different application - breaking the pattern. AI is not going to do that. (It's the same reason why AI is shitty at writing jokes - many jokes rely on "subversion of expectations" while AI is good at matching the expectation from the pattern.)
- Most technology owners aren't going to make their stuff public. The tech companies building the data centers sure as shit aren't sharing the designs publicly. Without data to train on, there is no AI.
- AI is currently making obvious mistakes. That is much less problematic than when it makes fundamental mistakes that "look" right. It's going to get harder and harder to tell what was engineered vs. what was pattern-matched.
So, I think there is an opportunity for AI to do extremely common types of designs that are publicly available through permitting. I'm thinking residential building designs maybe. For 95% of housing, you aren't looking to innovate. Maybe road design, although it's likely I am underestimating the complexity there.
I think AI is currently a good tool for certain aspects of engineering, but it's one of many, many tools.
Yeah, what I'm saying is, it's not truly creative and therefore not an extension for creators.
But yeah, your point about expectation is excellent. AI by its very nature delivers expectation.
In patent law, we adjudge the patentable to be that which is non-obvious, which basically means beyond rote expectation. Not very far beyond in many cases, but at least somewhat. And most patentable inventions are not terribly creative, or even at all.
And, interestingly, some of the better inventions come from recognizing a problem, and, once the problem is recognized, the solution is pretty rote.

Just now, Red Five said:
He literally said that Reiner was murdered because he hated Trump. The subtext of that, that doesn't take very long to reach, is that it's ok to murder people who don't like him. That's not misquoting, that's reading what he wrote.
I didn't say you did and it doesn't happen all that often with Trump anymore.
But there are various allegedly outrageous things posted on social media that just really aren't or are for different reasons.

If I do, it's because I don't trust my subjective interpretation of what he said. I'm biased against him, even if I/we may be right.
If what he actually said was horrible, I like to point that out.
Even at this stage of things, there's a fair amount of misquoting and taking things out of context, especially on social media.

He’s saying that anyone who doesn’t support him deserves to be brutally murdered. Not only deserves it, but that is the actual cause of it. He is really, really sick and deranged. And it’s going to keep getting worse.He didn't say that explicitly.
He did, however, say that "he was very bad for the country."
Which is just astonishing talk. Somehow, I continue to be astonished by what a piece of shit he is.

Almost makes you wonder if her MAGA stuff was all an act.
Possibly both "ends" of it are an act because she's a sociopath that doesn't know how to relate to others except through a facade.
But it is interesting that she has and can carry out a totally irrational Trumist act as well as a normal, reasonably empathic human being act.


The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
in Cloak Room
Fairly shocking. https://variety.com/2025/film/news/james-woods-rob-reiner-death-remarks-1236609668/
James Woods criticizes Trump over Reiner remarks. Actually talking like a semi-sane person.
