Yep, GPT 4.5 is not a breakthrough, but there will be more breakthroughs. Someone will figure out how to make AIs understand their own ignorance and stop bullshitting when they don't know something, someone will figure out how to make

How in the world did you get from "1:1 student-teacher ratio" to "ruin kids education"? AI is amazing for education. Everyone has their own teacher in their pocket.

Yes, it does mean throwing your vote away under Hare RCV. People who ranked Begich second had their vote thrown away when he was eliminated.

There are many forms of "ranked" and there absolutely is consensus that the form that constantly gets pushed in the US is no good. It is marketed with lies and doesn't live up to any of its promises, as we just saw in Alaska

99% of people who call it "RCV" have no idea how it works. Just call it "Hare RCV" in the same context as "Schulze RCV" or "Minimax RCV" and they'll be forced to confront their ignorance.

You've got this backwards. Under Approval Voting, it is always safe to vote honestly for your true favorite, which increases the visibility (and perception of electability) of third parties. Under IRV, it is not safe to put your honest

The form of RCV used in US is undemocratic garbage, just like FPTP. It counts votes exactly the same way as FPTP in each round, and therefore suffers from all the same problems, such as the spoiler effect, vote-splitting, and center-squeez

Alternatively: "It's the same as Condorcet, we just add multiple rounds for no reason." Why combine two systems to make a more complicated system when you could just use Condorcet directly?

It's true, too. Hare RCV counts some voter's 2nd preferences but not others, which is why you get undemocratic outcomes like this one. A Condorcet RCV system counts all voters' preferences simultaneously.

The only reason Condorcet systems are "complicated" is because they are always described along with their tiebreaking process. With any other voting system, the tiebreaking process is considered to be a cursory detail, and a part
