Meh, I'd be happy to know that. But in several other instances of "honest mistakes" from this administration, we've found out later they were quite deliberate violations of people's rights. For example from this Tru

No one is supposing this is the way they'll do it, only that this could be a way they do it. As you've already suggested, they're also already doing it other ways. There's a reason authoritarian regimes are known f

He's talking about the Antichrist dude... he's a devout Christian... they believe in things like the Antichrist. People really do be bending over backwards not to hear the words spoken to them if they seem too wacky to be palatabl

What? GP didn't even contradict anything I said, just claimed there's some ambiguous problem with citing a few second clip of the person saying the thing I accused them of saying.

Can LLMs be reliably restricted to produce any specific subset of content? AFAICT they're still consistently jailbroken.

Why do you think SCOTUS disagreed with you 9-0? What do you know that they don’t?

In your model, is a simple majority a necessary feature of a mandate? And what’s the scope of the majority? A simple majority on each individual decision?

You don't think it's theoretically or pragmatically true that elected leaders are constrained/guided/informed by the feedback generated by elections? It seems like maybe you read my "it has nothing to do with X&quot

Which does not preclude him from having due process rights, as SCOTUS ruled 9-0 (and has been reaffirmed unequivocally by about 180 years of case law).

I stated exactly what is true, which is that he believes Greta Thunberg might be the actual antichrist. He said it himself.

That's on the tame end of Peter Thiel's rather demented belief system. Another tidbit: he believes Greta Thunberg is very possibly the actual antichrist. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ao_umPlSV6o

You're describing mainstream Democratic policies. There is not a single national-level Democratic politician who advocates for open borders. If there is, please tell us who. The feeling of an open border is due to a confluence of our

Right, so the only coherent ideology is their desire for dictatorship, as I said. This makes it extremely difficult if not impossible to interact with and collaborate with "the right" in a democratic system. The unifying feature i
