Do you have link to the full interview?

This is sort of related but do you have any plans on looking for coordinated voting?

So does this confirm that Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb? Because before they were trying to be ambiguous with whether or not they were.

This is the first time I've heard about the rally around the flag effect not working to boost the president's approval ratings.

You know if you want to do something more effective than just putting copyright at the end of your comments you could try creating an adversarial suffix using this technique. It makes any LLM reading your comment begin its response with any specific output you specify (such as outing itself as a language model or calling itself a chicken).

It gives you the code necessary to be able to create it.

There are also other data poisoning techniques you could use just to make your data worthless to the AI but this is the one I thought would be the most funny if any LLMs were lurking on lemmy (I have already seen a few).

Yeah I realized I was wrong. I was looking at the following list: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Presidents-of-the-United-States-1846696

and made a mistake that every president only lasted one term (I don't know how). What I should've said is that no party has lasted 2 presidents in a row. My point still stands though just that it will take longer than just this election year.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm saying that at the current moment (with the current political system in the US) those are the options.

Option C is only an option if a significant majority believe that a third party can win which is not what a majority of people believe. It is like a catch 22.

What I am mainly saying is that things are likely going to change but the way in which that happens is unclear.

The GOP has plans to implement a fascist takeover of the government if they get in power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

I don't think things can stay the same.

Either they eventually win and implement this plan.

Or our political system is overhauled so it isn't likely that they win ever again.

This is sort of an open question to anyone listening.

How long do you think the US can keep the GOP out of winning the presidency if nothing changes politically?

In the past 100 years the longest a political party has held office has been two presidents. So even if Joe Biden wins this next election there is a high probability the Republicans will win eventually.

What happens then?

Edit: Corrected mistake.

I just searched it up and yeah something like that would work.

2026 hasn't started yet. So we will have to wait and see.

Actually, mathematically speaking, in the long run they tend to eventually fail.
