So GPT-5 just launched and the presentation included a bunch of really dumb graphs that are obviously wrong...

And also it's just generally not that impressive/not a huge step up from previous capability, and that's what the benchmarks are saying. Apparently they squished the hallucination issue, but again, benchmarks, not real usage.

Is it over?

GPT 5 coming out today so that might be soon if it's a disappointment

yeah Kemi Badenoch didn't mean it in the right way when she said jail 5% of them, but you'd need to go sicko mode on the civil service to start with. nothing moves quickly in this country and the public/private bureaucracy's impotence is a big part of the problem

it's actually been in recession for basically 16 years now but the GDP numbers are half-faked and half-misrepresentative anyway

like the only economic success stories that happen in this country anymore are American chain restaurants opening new branches (and then closing them down after 5 years bc their food is bad and too expensive) and buy-to-let landlords

in any case, this state can't really go on for much longer like this, it's too neoliberalised to invest in a way that would stimulate economic growth and increase the tax base, and without doing that it'll just get further and further into debt which will eventually result in some kind of collapse in its ability to fund itself (probably going to the IMF, resulting in a genuinely catastrophic political crisis that fucks the whole thing)

america, this is what awaits you too

how about you say some shit that makes sense. call me an ultra like that other guy or something. don't just say "duuhhhh ACP fedpost" and then "go touch grass" (are you stuck in 2022?) when i point out that it makes no sense

you missed a key word from that quote there

eventually being

meaning that he's not there yet but give it a few years and yeah you'll have another AOC on your hands

this happens literally every time with these candidates and you still keep falling for it lol

join the ACP? what are you even talking about? I should join the pro-police fascist party that itself participates in US elections because I think that an election candidate is being too pro-policing?

"wow idk maybe I should step back here a bit and see what they even end up doing once elected"

oh come the fuck on. this is the exact same shit you liberals always say about social democrats who are obviously moving rightwards and it always goes the same way in the end. you people are so fucking naive, and you're acting as though I'm some conspiracy theorist who believes he's a "sleeper agent" because I can remember this same song and dance happening over and over again with "socialist" election candidates running as Democratic candidates. no, I just think that this breed of politician plays a particular role in our society, even when their intentions are good, and that role is to restrict the scope of socialist political action and maintain the focus on bourgeois elections rather than any other means of pursuing power, while eventually being totally integrated into the mainstream liberal machine, as evidenced by him STANDING NEXT TO ELIZABETH WARREN IN THE VIDEO I'M POSTING ABOUT.

have none of you fuckers learned from the AOC experience? jesus christ.

getting a politician elected to office in a bourgeois democracy is not "building power" in any way that matters for socialists. no, the fact that the NYPD haven't assassinated him isn't anything to do with what he's said or not said, they don't kill Democratic candidates because Democrats are not a threat to their role in society, as his statements and policies indicate. it's actually absurd that people think something like that would happen if he were more anti-police, rather than the Democrats just ejecting him from the candidacy via more brazenly anti-democratic means.

no it hasn't "been debunked" that he explicitly supports the role of police in bourgeois society and has said so throughout his campaign. acct might be dogshit but the video of him next to Warren and his statements on the matter are real

 
 

finding most of the chapo eps either really boring/depressing (i cba to listen to some dude promote his book about "refounding the American Republic", fuck off) or just not that funny these days. need something to listen to that will make me laugh about the awful shit going on. any recs? is trueanon good?

 
 

like even ignoring the worst-case scenarios we're set for crises in the immediate future that will dwarf the "cost-of-living crisis" of 2022-23 and the pandemic. but basically the vast majority of people are just hoping that it'll all be fine and we'll go back to how things were in the 90s if we have some Good Government. it's going to be interesting to see how the masses respond to this situation, which they have been repeatedly informed of for decades now, but which they still don't understand.
