Why did you feel like you had to have sex with the judge?

'Cause he's the one with the power. He holds my entire life in his hands. He's the one who makes the decisions over whether I get to keep my children or not. He's the one who makes the decisions on whether I go to jail.

And there's the problem. No one person should have that kind of power. And this is just someone near the very bottom of the judicial hierarchy, not a supreme court justice. The system is designed to be abused. That's the only possible explanation for why judges get to make such important decisions without anyone checking their reasoning or why judicial immunity exists to prevent judges being prosecuted for their misconduct that ruins lives.

Looks like it's season 1 episode 2: https://archive.org/details/pizzatgatereference803johnnytestfullepisodejohnnyimpossible102

Edit: I decided to dig a little deeper and found Scott Fellows was the writer and producer. He's worked at Nickelodeon on live action shows too, which don't exactly have a great track record for being child safe. Not sure how deep into Hollywood he is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Fellows

The other producer for this episode was Chris Savino. He also worked at Nickelodeon and is most known for creating the Loud House, where one of the characters has two dads. He's been nominated for Emmy and Annie awards so may have deeper Hollywood connections. In 2017 it came to light he'd been "sexually harassing" women for at least a decade, making unwanted sexual advances and threatening them not to leave him. He claimed to be Christian in 2019. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Savino

Planes have had a long time to become commercialized and have a lot of safety regulations and industry standards so they can be operated by idiots. Spaceships are only made by a few government agencies in the world and aren't used by the public so there is no expectation that they can be easily operated by idiots with safety guaranteed.

Of course a bunch of companies have figured out how to get people's attention by generating outrage. It's very obvious how to enrage the left or the right, and it's very obvious that it's advantageous for many advertisers to do this to get attention. That's just easy to notice from the point of view of someone who thinks about politics. Now consider that they pay whole marketing departments whose entire purpose is to figure out how to get attention. And the people who control the politicians also pay people to come up with ideas to get the left or right's support without actually doing anything to help the country. Simply making the other side mad is enough to get their almost unanimous support at this point.

Being logical means recognizing contradictions. LLMs don't recognize when they contradict themselves (unless you point it out, but they also notice things that aren't there if you point them out too).

While language (like all of reality follows logical rules, that doesn't mean that the ability to use language makes one logical. Plenty of people use language to say illogical things, and some people have made a living from saying absurdly illogical things eloquently.

But again what matters here is not to have the model reason for me, but to make it acknowledge a contradiction in the presented information, which it does

In other words, you want the model to reason to the conclusion you want so you can feel better about yourself and try to persuade others, even though the model doesn't actually follow reason.

If you have to point out its contradictions then it's not logical.

Language isn't contingent on logic. You can say lots of illogical things with language. LLMs and idiots often do. Sure, a lot of the training data is logical so a lot of the LLM output that parrots it is logical too, but when you go outside the stuff it's specifically trained on I'm sure it's more likely to get illogical. Plus a lot of human writing is illogical too, but that isn't filtered out of the training data. So you're a sucker if you think LLMs are logical, especially if you think so while admitting they unwittingly contradict themselves.

If you think they're always logical you're very far down the manipulation process. I've seen all the main ones unwittingly contradict themselves and failing logic problems. They're word pattern machines and have no sense of knowledge or logic.

The AIs will say whatever you want if you keep directing them a certain way. You're being manipulated if you use them, even more if you trust them at all.

There is no good possible future with AI. It will inevitably be used to make a human extinction weapon if it is accessible to a large number of people, or else it will be in the hands of a few who will have total control over everyone else, at least until they lose control and we either all die or are enslaved to the AI. AI development needs to be stopped as there is no possible good that can come from it.

This is a good thing along with the ban on CBDCs. However, he mentioned conservation in the Everglades being important economically. The Everglades are known for sugar production by the Fanjul brothers, who get huge government subsidies and are top donors to both Republicans and Democrats. The sugar cane farms pollute the waters with phosphorus and other chemicals, and Alfonso Fanjul has refused to let the government use his land for cleaning it up. In the documentary The One Percent, the migrant workers claim they sometimes lose fingers cutting the sugar cane and have incredibly low wages. In 2023 the federal government began investigating Alfonso Fanjul's company for forced labor. DeSantis doesn't appear to be holding the Fanjul brothers to account and is instead allowing them to continue manipulating the government for profit.

Yep. Google's Eric Schmidt said it was a "bug" that Google gave more than one result for your query instead of just giving you "the answer". This was their plan for a long time. It already happens when you ask devices like Amazon Alexa.

Gee, how did people survive in checks notes current year without digital ID? How one earth did anybody know who they were without a digital ID to remind them?

People were a lot better off in the past without all the modern things we supposedly "need".
