IMO if MPs can learn to discern these people, LLMs can too. Not saying the tech is there yet though. The LLMs still need to be treated as dumb tools though and the common sense must come from some sort of human component.

This is a weakness of all forms of representative democracy, partisan and non partisan alike. I can picture liquid democracy solving this, where you delegate votes on stuff that you dont care about to your preferred MP, but retain your direct vote for bills you do care about. Another, albeit not yet viable, solution discussed on https://plurality.net/ is an AI parliament that summarizes the opinions of the entire voterbase. This type of problem is called Broad Listening (summarizing and grouping a superhuman amount of opinions), and LLMs have the potential to be very good at this. The best solution so far was the system of local MPs but truly effectove broad listening is, obviously, a task that is beyond their abilities/will.

Theyre still bundles just theres more to pick from

skews the market in their favour by getting a bigger share of finite attention/exposur

Oh, that makes sense

Surely wouldn’t the best music spread by itself, by virtue of its quality? Maybe I’m underestimating the role that the established music industry still plays.

I think the thing, at least with music, is that creating it nowadays is next to free (you just need a DAW), so it is very possible for the biggest bangers to be created by a hobbyist with some skill and free time. In a way it is better today than it was before because there is nothing financially stopping the biggest natural talents from raising to the top.

I’m in school to get the piece of paper that says I know programming so I can get a job

Same here homie! Cheers! 🥂

You might want to try taking part in some competitions/hackathons. I’ve been doing it in an attempt to put my free time to good use and it helps you gain industry connections. Plus you get to try out various fields of application so you find out what you’d potentially enjoy.

If you were reading it as python with c++ syntax, you’d be right. Also you have too much free time.

No but I can see it being good at deobfuscation

As a dell latitude owner, I relate

state outright that being allotted is more democratic than elections (which were seen as oligarchic)

Actually this makes a lot of sense

That sounds like something a dog with one braincell would say

What do u write the firmware for?

So did ASCII

It sucks for me because my brain innately enjoys this kind of thinking

C lets you do this by putting text in single quotes:

int foo = ‘Abcd’;

works

I can imagine it sabbotaging some very basic thing that our society currently takes for granted (like growing crops) and then even just baseline functioning at our current level would become much harder, causing a global recession.

I didnt know its fins cpuld work as little legs

I feel like perhaps a slightly easier first step would be to push for a cap that is higher than anybody’s wealth (say £100B) — so that the debate is initially only about the principle — and only then demand it be lowered. 1) salami slicing works, and 2) even just the fact of there being one (albeit unreachable) would imo do a lot psychologically.

And while we’re at it, another pet policy of mine is a tax that starts at 0 and approaches 100% as your income approaches infinity. Then you’d just play with the steepness of the curve. You’d still have the problem of pre-existing hoardrd wealth though.

Also the astronomical additions to the govt budget from all this would prob lead to equally astronomical embezzlement, rendering the whole limit ineffective. So another, prob more decentralized, mechanism of redistribution would need to be devised first.

GrapheneOS can uniquely block presidential alerts though.

I love open source
