In the first, the AI model was programmed to detect whether it was about to be shut down and to replicate itself before it could be terminated. In the other, the AI was instructed to clone itself and then program its replica to do the same – setting up a cycle that could continue indefinitely.

Like how any regular application can be instructed to copy itself i.e. a computer worm? Not exactly shocking for a computer program to do.

Their power connectors are melting up just like their stock.

The art of the deal is to alienate all current and potential allies and isolate yourself. That’ll work out beautifully in the long term.

The trump administration breaking the law isn’t news. Them actually getting in trouble for it, now THAT would be news.

Dude hiding in caves and basements to stay alive has somehow been extorting and dealing.

Wait, I thought he asked for ammunition and was ready to fight?

Thanks for ignoring the entirety of my response to return to the raw dumb numbers without the context. You remind me of people who post crime statistics of Black Americans to try to prove a racist point. Don’t bother replying if you’re just going to ignore the counterargument.

I’m sure you’ll win the lottery someday. Just keep trying!!

From the article you posted (emphasis mine):

Democrats passed their sweeping anti-corruption bill known as HR 1. It’s already doomed in the Senate.

Democrats love to bring up impressive-sounding bills when they’re confident they won’t actually become law. It’s part of the tag team play they do with republicans. I’m surprised people still fall for this shit. Please let me know when democrats pass bills like this during the times they have the power to actually bring it into law.

You call seizing power like trump hypocritical, but when you’re faced with fascism, you have to fight back and I mean actually fight back, not sit around and wail about “muh institutions” because those institutions will crumble under force unless you actually protect them with your own force. Doing things “the proper way” is just another tactic to look like you’re doing something while actually welcoming the fascists. It’s a dog and pony show.

I’m already following your plan. It isn’t working.

Biden was getting his sorry ass kicked until South Carolina where he got one critical endorsement to edge out a slight victory. Then the party’s buddies in big media ran a “Biden miracle” story and the party got all the other candidates to drop out and put their full support behind Biden just before super Tuesday. They also funded a PAC to keep Warren in the race to split votes with Sanders. Thanks to the moronic primary process, after that point it’s like a snowball rolling downhill because by the later states, it will appear as if one candidate is the guaranteed winner so supporters of other candidates won’t bother showing up. It’s why superdelegates were used in 2016 to make it look like Clinton was too far ahead for Sanders to matter. All that plus it’s a party-controlled process where diehard party supporters are more likely to vote in that process than normal voters, so you’ll have an automatic bias for the party favorite (some milquetoast center-right stooge).

If you want to ignore all that and focus on raw dumb numbers, then you should consider that the voting population of the US is much greater than ~30 million people. Do you think all those other voters’ choices don’t matter?

You misunderstand the complexity of the problem. There is no simple and clear plan because it’s not a simple and clear problem to solve. I’m pointing out that voting doesn’t work because it clearly doesn’t. It’s there to make you think you have a choice and to divert blame to someone/something other than the billionaires who control the system.

Both democrats and republicans are in line with neoliberal thought about letting corporations get bigger and bigger and giving more freedom to capital than to people. A simple vote isn’t going to change this. Let’s pretend that democrats are opposed to money in politics, you’d have to vote them in every single time because there aren’t singular times when it’d matter since the assault on democracy is ever-present. This is impossible under the two-party system. Things will go wrong and people will blame whoever is in power. Things are constantly getting worse which is why we’re seeing this more frequent swapping of parties in power.

This is the trillion-dollar question. How does one combat a system so dominated by money? I certainly don’t have the funds to lobby politicians and the politicians certainly won’t agree to change the system that showers them with gifts and power. This same system leads to greater and greater wealth inequality. The top 10% wealthiest Americans own two-thirds of the wealth: https://www.statista.com/statistics/203961/wealth-distribution-for-the-us

Even if wealth distribution was more equal and the bottom 90% had more wealth in total, it’s a lot easier to get fewer people to agree with collective action and to control the narrative with a coherent policy.

We were told by democrats that we have to “reach across the aisle” to fascist republicans for decades. Just this last election they kissed infamous war criminal dick cheney’s ass while sending billions to the far-right government of israel while they’re committing genocide. Somehow this approach would not result in fascism eventually.

Not through the party-controlled process.

Ah yes, the “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” argument for electoralism. It doesn’t matter who we vote for when they get laundered through the lobbying machine on the highest setting after or even before they get into office. Tell me, who is at the top of this list? https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?code=Q05&cycle=All&ind=Q05&recipdetail=M

I’m saying this as someone who has voted democrats straight down the ballot in every election I could. It doesn’t work when money is more powerful than any vote.

They let non-party-favored candidates run in the primaries just like how this kid is allowed to mow the law

There was no choice for anyone. The situation was already getting worse and worse in Palestine and yet you think “trump is going to make it worse” was some sort of difference maker. You’re running the same disingenuous line that democrats do, which is when they’re in power they claim they’re working on it but also that it’s out of their hands, but when they’re out of power they blame voters. It’s apparently never the fault of democrats. You think after over a year of democrats doing jack and shit that somehow they’d do any better after getting reelected.

Please don’t think you can fool anyone by claiming they were working towards a ceasefire when they were actively supplying billions in weapons during these “negotiations”. Do not think you can fool anyone by claiming that democrats were holding back israel by delaying just a single shipment of weapons while letting the rest through (which was already more than enough of what they needed to “get the job done”). There’s a saying about that and george bush, war criminal and dear friend of the democrats, put it so eloquently here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl7FKfl3O2Y

For the record, I voted for harris, but I’m not stupid enough to think she would’ve made any difference because she indicated as much on the campaign trail during a critical election. The campaign trail is when politicians make promises they don’t keep and yet she couldn’t even be bothered to lie about caring.

As for Harris, yeah, her and the Democrats should learn to listen to the people but if you seriously think she was pro-genocide, well there’s no point in even taking at that juncture.

If she wasn’t pro genocide, then it should’ve been easy for her to speak out against genocide, right?

Either way, y’all made your choices, you cast your vote, you didn’t have to deal with Harris any more, good luck dealing with Trump and how receptive he and his administration will be.

Again, how receptive was Harris? Clearly there was no choice when it came to genocide. If something as horrific as genocide is non-negotiable, what makes you think either political party cares to work for the people on any other heavily lobbied issue?
