I would disagree, 100 millionaires don't own F1 teams or have boats so large and so much money they can take down bridges to get them out of port.

The problem is people like myself and many other can't fathom even desiring things so absurd... And many of these billionaires won't rest until they own the entire world.

I imagine there are significantly more complex concerns the representatives are navigating than the reductive assessments being presented here.

For example, the voter base has clearly demonstrated they are morons and SOME of the reps may reside in more moderate districts with split ticket voting. If they know it is a mathematical impossibility why would they waste political capital and open themselves up for midterm attack ads.

While you and I, or anyone with more intellectual capacity than a goldfish realize the danger of Trump, they may also want to ensure when they support impeachment, they do it for an issue that has more broad support of public opinion.

I often see reductive assessments of political behavior that lack any attempt to consider measured approaches within a given context, even historically. Hindsight is 20/20 and there are often many moving parts aside from what you or I feel is the correct thing to do.

Ahh thank you for that information! In all seriousness, I appreciate you correcting my ignorance.

List and Array terminology also bothers me ... Why not just call it an array?

Not remotely surprised.

I dabble in conversational AI for work, and am currently studying its capabilities for thankfully (imo at least) positive and beneficial interactions with a customer base.

I've been telling friends and family recently that for a fairly small amount of money and time investment, I am fairly certain a highly motivated individual could influence at a minimum a local election. Given that, I imagine it would be very easy for Nations or political parties to easily manipulate individuals on a much larger scale, that IMO nearly everything on the Internet should be suspect at this point, and Reddit is atop that list.

It wasn't just Lemmy, I know otherwise reasonably intelligent people who became literally brainwashed from TikTok. We're talking far left, never Trumper's, knew he was an existential threat, but couldn't have their moral superiority tarnished and HAD to vote 3rd party. They bought into that propaganda hook, line and sinker.

shocking - It's almost as if there was a coordinated media campaign to paint both sides the same, and convince a bunch of people to vote against their own self interests. Absolutely did not see this coming... Nope, absolutely not.

It's saving me a hell of a lot of man hours on incredibly tedious tasks that would require looking up individual items in a wiki or the like and then directly populating the answers into a spreadsheet... Our team doesn't have the budget to hire someone to do it, so it basically just wouldn't get done without it.

Useful party trick for me!

Haha kind of, depends on the individual! Most of my clothes don't have a visible label these days.

Damn you got me!

You aren't thinking corporate profit centric uses...

We can put these on clothing so people can sell their personal ad space to companies!

Look at me, I am the billboard now!

Adding to this, the wealth disparity is going to continue to increase with those who have equities dramatically increasing their personal capitol, while the middle class is going to fall further behind.

I'm convinced a major part of inflation that goes completely ignored is the staggering amount of wealth generated by equities. People have literally seen 1 million become 2 or 3 over the last few years. They have been spending money with complete disregard... Watching what people buy at Costco is insane!
