He said exactly what he feels:

If there is no heaven, what reason do I have to be good?

He literally just told us he does not have an innate sense of morality. He is only as good as he is because he is scared of hell.

and he's really not good at all.

Didn't he also say he wasn't Christian recently? Or can I just not understand him when he talks. It was when he was telling Christian voters in south Florida if they voted for him they would fix it so they would never need to vote again.

Ok, let me try. I'll start with the first phrase:

Gboard: Religion is such a great thing to do with it but I don't think it will be a good day for you guys to come over and watch the first episode of the office does Jim and I are you doing today I left the house today and the next day or so I can get the room for the next day or so I can get the room for the next....awwwww

I never talk about the office lol

Here's with Kubo keyboard: Religion is such a great thing that I think it is a good thing that I think it is a good thing that... Boo

SwiftKey:

Religion is a departing storm in the distance of the world of the world and the world of the world is to be a lamp in the darkness of the world and the world of the world is to be a lamp in the darkness of the world and the world of the world is to be a lamp in the darkness of the world and....

That's a smash up of two comments I've made on Lemmy, basically. SwiftKey must have app based prediction or something. I said this two things exactly once.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Since my understanding of what llms do is exactly predictive text, why is predictive text still so shit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Keyboards only look at the last one or two words. LLMs look at a lot more than that. Comes down to available processing power really.

So . . . Trump is AI? Hmmmmmm. Yyyyesss I could see that.

Although the source article gives the quote verbatim so. That actually came out of his mouth, if anyone was wondering, which - at this point they really shouldn't be.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He has concepts of religion.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

But not of morality.

He's weaving dude, just like that fantastic hair hat he wears. It'll just like weave together. They say it's fantastic...

It's when you read Trump's ramblings, do you realize "Holy fuck. What the hell did I read? Did I stroke out?"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

I think I just had a stroke.

You know what maybe some people should stick to hosting silly gameshows.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He basically said the same thing, but somehow in a more succinct and elegant fashion by comparison? Which is reeeeaaaallllyy stretching when it comes to what Steve said, because it was absolutely idiotic.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

More like 35% of the vote. With the BS Electoral College, that's all you need.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It's very important to remind people that our vote is important and demanded by all the news outlets and the various political leaders. But it is ultimately ignored and replaced by a group of unelected electors who can actually vote for whoever they want. If we really did vote, then the result from our election would be a president. Instead the official vote is from these randos and CNN will need our vote to compare the "electoral" vote (not ours, but the actual vote from the randos) vs the "public" vote, which is just an option from us with which to compare against. You can do that with the dog vote and the kids from 3rd grade vote.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

35% is of eligible voters, not of the vote. Trump got 47% of the vote in 2020.

ChatGPT 4o:

Trump’s statement seems to convey a rambling attempt at explaining the moral influence of religion. He’s essentially saying that religion motivates people to be good because of the belief in an afterlife (heaven). Without that belief, he suggests, people might wonder why they should behave well at all. He struggles to articulate the idea clearly, repeatedly circling back to the notion that the promise of heaven is a reason to be good.

In simpler terms, he seems to be saying: Religion gives people a reason to strive for goodness because it offers the reward of heaven. Without that, people might question why they should bother being good.

o1-preview (the fancy dancy reasoning one):

Certainly! In this statement, Donald Trump is emphasizing the importance of religion in promoting moral behavior. He suggests that religion gives people a reason to be good because it introduces the concept of heaven as a reward for good deeds. Without the belief in heaven or an afterlife, he implies that people might question the purpose of being good and could potentially disregard moral standards. Essentially, he's arguing that religion and the promise of heaven motivate individuals to behave ethically.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Ah, that makes sense!

It's so hilariously ironic that he talks of these things like he has any virtue. Jesus would bitch slap him if the two ever met.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

That's NYT's schtick!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

He doesn't open the Bible because he never learned how to open a book.

That’s some over 9000 level 4D chess, goodness me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Playing chess with a pigeon. You say "Checkmate" and the pigeon just keeps peaking at your pieces.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Don't play chess with a pigeon. No matter how well you play it's just going to shit all over the board and strut around like it won.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I think he was having a stroke

Oh thank God. You didn't use any verbiage to describe his existential threat to democracy..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I thought it was pretty obvious
