US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Potatoherder]

It will be funny and sad if Republican infighting in the House somehow leads to a Democrat-backed Speaker.

That is what you have now with Johnson and Jefferies already said he would support Johnson They have a good thing going. Passing democrat bills and the republicans get all the blame as they had the speakership.

 

[Anasûrimbor Kellhus]

how much of a disaster will it be if Jeffries get the speakership?

Guess republicans should have put more of those legal resources to all those house seats that waited until a month after the election to be called.

It's a "better the devil you know" situation that's for sure.

Yes, generally...but it's the exceptions who win, like Rommel deciding to attack through the Ardennes, which had never been done before. Humans are chaos agents, and it's the innovators who win, not the guys who stick to the manual and run things based on how they worked in the past. AI doesn't have exceptions. AI doesn't innovate. AI only replicates the past, over and over.

What's your AI going to do when Rommel's tanks burst through what all past data said was an impenetrable forest? The war is already over.

Nerds might rule the world, but jocks conquer it.

 

[“Token” the Neigermiester]

Jeffries voted for himself! What a bastard!

Why? Cause he wants to win? Can’t really blame him.

AI is only good at doing things that have been done before. There are lots of times that's useful, but pivotal wars are characterized by times when past performance had little to tell you about future results.

The main problem with AI is it's backward facing. It tends to take a long time to adapt to new situations (only movie AIs learn instantly) and is utterly useless at creating those new situations. Moreover, you just don't get that many chances to fail in war. Imagine AI pilots trained on all the dogfights of WWI taking to the skies to defend Britain in WWII. The RAF would have been utterly destroyed by the Luftwaffe in a week, with zero examples of successful dogfights to learn from. Oh sure, you've got lots of data points now to train your next AI on. Too bad you're out of fighters, Operation Sea Lion is a go, and Britain is now being invaded by the Germans...with, once again, a new tactical situation with no previous examples to learn from.



The 10% use cases are the cases that decide wars.

Respectfully, if you mean "machine learning" say "machine learning", since many planes already fly on rule based AI. Pre-programming certain movements or using algorithmic decision making can be to develop and is more predictable than training a machine learning model from scratch. It also often has better results. Just compare Llama 3 fine tuned on chess to Stockfish and you'll see algorithmic AI is probably the way to continue with certain tasks (and in my opinion, autonomous transportation).

It’s more a tard-wrangling than it is infighting. It’s a “new world.” They just need to accept it, that is the problem.

 

[Mr. Manchester]

Oh sure I'll join in. Thanks for being a good sport @Fatpacks

Burger at Wimbydong Wimbledon Championships for my temp pfp, I need to get around to shooping an avatar.

Tax: Man Matt Gaetz really couldn't resign after the Speaker vote?

The cost of your NHS in the UK is the fact that you make about six cents for every dollar an American earns. Since median salary here is about $70k, and in UK it's about $40k, overall, all that shit costs you about $30k per year.

Or to put it another way, average home size in the UK is 800 sq ft, while in the USA, it's 2000 sq ft. You can think of those 1200 sq ft you don't get to live in as the price of your "free" health care.

Thanks for proving that you know nothing about economics, geography, public health, sociology or anything relevant to understanding why public healthcare is worth it when done properly

Where is it done properly?

Oh wait I think he got it

They just confirmed it. Johnson is the speaker. Thanks for pointing this out - I've been listening to Ron & Fez all day.

 

[shekelshoah666]

Woah Massie looks like a total fucking retard voting for Tom Emmer and sperging about being being mad at him for it. Jefferies came pretty fucking close to winning I hope people see how truly awful Massie is now total loser (Emmer is god awful btw would be worse then Johnson)

Were we talking about Ai fighter pilots, right? How did this shift to a place where the goalpost is now Herbie the love f-35 has responsibility for logistics

Can't wait to hear about the backroom deals Johnson ignores and we get more majority democrat voted bills.

Where's your burger suit? Don't you know that an appropriate burger suit denotes a true USPG thread shitposter? Only filthy casuals show up here in normal pfps.
Now let us sing the thread theme song:
Captain Burger, he's a hero!
Gonna take kebabs down to zero!

Bitch I'm the Borgar King. Only the BEST burger pfps from me

Dumb fake congresswoman from fake territories axing why they can't have official votes n' sheeeeeeeit, THEATER KID GOVERNMENT WILL NEVER DIE:

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

So there’s no problem when trump pulls out of nato and leaves your country and the rest of the continent to handle things themselves I hope.

Europe wants America gone. We want your influence gone and are praying Trump pulls you lot out of Europe and back to your own corner of the world. It will take a chunk out of your economy, but please do it because it would be so fucking funny.

If it weren't for evil capitalists your meds likely wouldn't even exist and you'd already be dead.

You mean like the drug that the Brits discovered, penisomething. I'm sure it's not important and not a wonder drug.

Yeah, in combat you have to refine what you bother to consider to a very short priority list

The reason Ai and computers aren't used in combat is because it's illegal by order of some convention, maybe the Geneva one or Nato rules, I can't remember, but it is.
It's to prevent friendly fire and accidently blowing up orphanages.

Would Ai try to fake Ai out? That would be resolved one way or another probably in a manner that didn’t make sense to us to watch

Google Ai played Google Ai at chess and the win/loss ratio wasn't 50/50 as one would expect, it was 40/60, which means one AI (they were both the same version) outsmarted the other AI. Interesting, no?

That's a fucking lie. They already are. Have you heard of TACAN? That has been in every Tomahawk cruise missiles targeting system since Block 1. AI type systems in military use isn't new and will continue to be used and integrated. Because it makes war far more efficient. The F-35 alone is proof of that.
