Could be a husband that pays for the home etc as well, that is also living on family money. Regardless since journalists aren't well paid but a lot of them live in expensive areas the money has to come from somewhere.

Unions doesn't give you power they just help you use what power you have. Unions don't help if you don't have any power, see Detroit factory workers, they were highly unionized but that didn't help them at all. And if yo

Its not capitalists doing that though, its politicians, and politicians in non capitalist countries tend to be more evil.

No other big american company says "don't be evil", if you aren't dropping Apple and Microsoft then you it doesn't make sense to drop Google.

And summer isn't when you need the power anyway, so its very inefficient since northern winters has barely any sunlight at all, its close to 0 from solar power then. In warmer countries you want power in the summer for AC during the da

Its your claude speaking to their claude, which is fair, but it makes this whole discussion a bit dumb since we are basically talking about two bots arguing with each other.

> Animals in general avoid violence between conspecifics That seems to mostly just be true for oppressed species that doesn't already dominate. For example Orcas attack each other when they get into each other territory, as do ants.

But you still need effort, its not only taste. "Only" means you can do it with no effort.

If you go to Somalia I'd bet most of those would be healthier if they started eating more hamburgers, so its context dependent.

What do you mean? It is grounded on the text it is fed, the reason it said that was that humans have said that or something similar to it, not because it analyzed a lot of LLM information and thought up that answer itself. LLM can "thi

> I think the disagreement doesn’t lie in this concept, but rather in whether an LLM can be used by someone who’s willing to put in effort to assist them in doing so, rather than just having it do it for them No, you misunderstood here.

The standard dictatorial takeover of a democracy is to keep the elections and the presidency, but to add a supreme leader above the president, similar to what Iran or Russia or China is doing. So Trump would no longer be president, he would

And the military. Who the majority of soldiers supports matters a lot since they have the final say when leaders cannot agree. Trump does a lot to gain favor with the military, democrats doesn't do much for them.

Yeah, its called home owners associations, NIMBY etc.

I imagine Trump wanted to do some fun new things when he is old and will soon die. Its not many who get to experience what it feels like to start a war and kill world leaders, and when you are gonna die soon anyway why not?

He does seem wildly corrupt though with extreme exceptions in bills for his friends and backers, more than other politicians I've seen. He is probably better than Trump or JD Vance but that isn't saying much. I too mostly agree wi

If you want to win elections, yes. You never convince voters by telling them that they are evil people. Its fine to say Trump is evil, its not fine to say Trump voters are evil because those voters will now be much less likely to vote for y

Still above 50% chance one of the 3 people I mentioned will become next president according to the betting odds.

That is just progressive vs conservative, ie changing things vs conserving things, humans are biased to conserve things unless the set of changes are overwhelmingly better. So conservatives win when progressives push for too many changes, n

Why would she promise anything to Trump? She just wants Iran to let them through, USA isn't blocking anyone here, USA isn't a part of that conversation.

by Jensson 7mo ago
If that was true many more tankers would have passed from other countries that were more against the war. France is one of few countries with large military presence in the area, that is the only thing they do more than most other countries

Then you can get rich by betting against it, so most people seem to disagree with you. And in a democracy most people decide who the next leader will be. https://www.oddschecker.com/politics/us-politics
