    Exactly. There are also hundreds of useful applications more than just consumer facing that you may be aware of. For example, I do research for climate models and we’re using diffusion models to make the data assimilation step more accurate, so there’s all kinds of things other than just making funny pictures or songs or whatever.










  • I mean the fact of the states administering their own elections is kind of the whole thing in the Constitution. Things like this are why it’s called the United States of America. It’s weird and just like 50 little countries in some ways.

    RCV is starting to get popular and I have hope that it’ll begin to unfuck things a bit, but also some Republican-controlled states have preemptively outlawed it because they know they would never wield power again if the citizens actually had a choice.

    Also the federal government absolutely should not have singular control. Especially this one shouldn’t have centralized power of elections, and it’s been reshaped so fundamentally, probably it’ll still have pockets of MAGA cancer for at least a decade. They’re rigging it and not even trying to hide it.

    It was never meant to be used in this way at this scale though. He put out a new method/paradigm and that was that. It was the asshole investor tech bros that destroyed the planet once they learned of it.

    Just like anything, almost no tech or thing is inherently bad, but it becomes bad when the ruling class get their greedy grimy little grimy in it.
