  • I think AOC would make for a much better Presidential Candidate in 2036 or 2042, after a term or two in Chuck’s Senate seat. (Or maybe even as VP)

    But, she is still a good candidate right now, and the next election will be crucial for the country. If 2028 AOC is the best option for Democrats, we should run with it. I would definitely sooner vote for her than the Next One Up for Democrats.


  • The natural-born limitation only applies to the President/VP, there is no such requirement for cabinet positions, Governorship, or Congressional seats.

    Now, this guy still has a general election to win, and if he wins, he still has to prove he can do the job. But assuming he does all that, and he’s as capable as he says he is, then maybe in a decade New York will have this guy and AOC in the Senate instead of Chuck and Kirstin…




  • The latest conspiracy theory is about voting machines getting reprogrammed through their uninterruptable power supplies on a national scale because one of the main UPS vendors was bought out by a Trumpy company. That’s simply not how these devices work.

    Now, I can believe there may have been isolated shenanigans that need to be investigated, but I have a simpler explanation for all that: most Americans are sexist, but are smart enough to not admit it publically. Fewer votes were recorded for Harris than we expected because many people said they would vote for her, but didn’t. (And yes, I meant most Americans.)







  • It is an interesting article, even if it’s conclusions are entirely too rosy. The “storefront” was a single vending machine, and the bot was instructed to interact with Anthropic employees (with an hourly cost attached) to do all physical interactions. While the bot did a decent job managing the stock most of the time, it made a lot of bad decisions based on trying to be too helpful to it’s customers. It also frequently hallucinated, with some hilarious results I wont spoil here. But as anyone who owns a small business knows, one bad decision could put it under, so saying that an AI can manage a vending machine well “most of the time” is equivalent to saying it cant do the job at all.

    Their conclusion is that with a bit more work, Claude might be able to perform as a middle-manager. To me, that says more about how useless middle-management is than how capable their AI is.
