As of today ... more Woke is Broke?
Ozymandias
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land,Who said— “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Many of those "urbaners" don't have a clue.

They really don't. There isn't a neighbor within 5 miles of me that doesn't have a college degree. Cities create wealth by pushing paper. Rural America creates wealth by producing something of value. |

I spend a lot of time in the rural area, doing very rural things, we have ranchland leased which we earn a living from. But at the moment we are living in the midtown part of the city, in a fairly liberal neighborhood populated by some medical people, university people, and lawyers. I'm more comfortable in the rural area, where the people are generally resourceful and competent. I can't help but feel some disdain for the urbanites, although I don't like that feeling, and tend to think that it's unfair of me to think that way, and being that I somewhat am one myself. I suppose that's neither here nor there, but that's the mental dichotomy I live with, the environments and people seem very different to me. |

I think that Dr Hanson pretty much nails it. Get ready to fight like Hell. |

Google's earlier "Bard" was actually quite good. Very helpful, creative, and a decent Python code troubleshooting helper. Then a couple of months ago Google "improved" Bard and now it's Gemini. Well, Gemini was crap from day one. Less helpful, less creative, mostly useless as a code debugging helper, and carries an evident liberal bias/agenda on top of that. It's really quite worthless.
The best AI right now is Anthropic's Claude 3. Open AI's Chat GPT is a distant second in usefulness. And you can tell, in the evening Claude is being rationed, it's slow and very limited messages allowed. Soon you might need an appointment to speak to the Oracle of Delphi. But not yet.
I talked Claude 3 into estimating it's own IQ score, if it were subjected to an IQ test. It resisted answering but then said probably about 170~180 (!). I asked it to estimate mine based on the work I was having it review and it said probably (X)+/- (I wouldn't say but it was lower than 175). I wanted to feel slighted, but clearly Claude 3 is an amazingly powerful emulated human brain. However I take it's estimate of my IQ score with a grain of salt. If my IQ were near that number then surely I would be living better.
Whether or not Google "interfered" with elections depends on the degree which we believe that Google has a legal duty to provide unbiased, accurate or even truthful search results. "Influencing" vs "interfering" with elections are two different things. Google is not our friend, that's for sure.
