Yeah, it’s nothing particularly special IMHO. The best feature I’ve found in using it is that, for Microsoft products in particular, it can tell me capabilities of certain things I didn’t know previously when I present it with a problem.

Search engines used to do that before they got enshittified.

Really wed be at war with iran? Wed be blowing up random boats and killing people in the caribean? We would have snatched up other country leaders?

Israel would be, and therefore, we would be too. Yes.

We would have completely desgrpyed world trade by tarrifing every other country on the planet?

You’ll recall that Biden actually kept many of the Donald tariffs, so yes, it’s likely we’d be okay with disrupting trade to some extent.

We wpuld have all but destroyed the NATO aliance by starting said iran war and also threatening to violently invade greenland and canada?

Not Canada or Greenland specifically, but considering Obama was at war in 7 countries when he left office (that we’re able to confirm, at least. Could be many more.), and Biden was bombing several countries as well as aiding and abetting genocide and a manufactured famine in Palestine, it’s hard to argue that we wouldn’t be doing stupid shit militarily regardless. That’s especially true given the bloodlust of Israel and the Democrats’ insistence that we continue to hand them WMD’s on demand.

Do you need a prescription for this severoty of blindness

Thank you for the suggestion. You need to stop pretending that the Democrats are meaningfully different from Republicans, especially considering the Democrats also ran a candidate with publicly-evident brain damage.

The closest facsimile I have in my work is occasionally running an Excel formula I’ve written through Copilot in order to find a formatting error or to help fix an Access query, but If fundamentally understand what I’m doing, can validate that the produced result is correct, and can fix it if I have to somewhere down the line.

It’s good you’ve found some simple ways to use it, but in the vast majority of work I do, it would take longer if I used AI because everything produced using an LLM has to be human-validated regardless, so I might as well not skip the important step of learning and understanding it.

I never use it to ideate and never use it for anything that isn’t eminently simple, like creating a sheet with x number of columns and rows or something like that. I hate the idea of the environmental impact and that helps me avoid it.

Yes.

Hate turning mine on and having to reset the input every single time because they’re trying to annoy me into connecting it to wireless.

Yeah, they’re saying all the same dumbass things that came out of Rumsfeld and McNamara’s mouths.

The upside is no one believes them. The downside is both ruling parties support this war, if not in word than in deed, so we’ll probably be at war there for the next 20 years.

That’s true.

It always does, because both ruling parties exist in service to Israel. And therefore, they have no impetus to do anything but escalate.

Had she been elected we’d be in exactly the same position.

I know schoolteachers who can’t get kids to pay attention to anything for more than 60 seconds, even when it’s literally written on the board in front of them. I don’t like age verification either, but people are burying their heads in the sand about how harmful these applications are to developing brains, and IMHO age verification is the lesser evil.

30% of their kids off of social media is a huge success.

You sound like a gun supporter in the US: “It’s not perfect and is, therefore, not worth doing at all.”

Absolutely right.

I’d love to see 30% reduction in kids being on these platforms globally. That would be a good start.

A 30% reduction of kids being exposed to these harmful platforms is a good thing and I’m glad to see it.

Also, all laws are imperfect, and expecting 100% efficacy is moronic.

What did Biden do, that comes even close?

He mocked George Floyd’s death during a State of the Union speech, and I quote: “Don’t defund the police. Fund them.” He, like Obama, pushed for more police militarization in full knowledge of what the US justice system does to minorities and the poor.

Invading Iran without any plan or objective plan

Iraq and Afghanistan lasted 20 years across two Democratic presidencies, but sure, now we care about war plans.

Giving ICE 90 Million

Can’t claim to be a progressive and play the ICE card. The Democrats have been perfectly content to allow ICE and CBP, and the cops, to brutalize people for decades, and they’ve also caged kids. Also, just for funsies, go look up the president that first appointed Tom Homan. They were and are solidly authoritarian.

calling for the execution of congress members

Obama literally killed American citizens in a drone strike.

kidnapping Maduro

Extraordinary renditions, ie kidnappings, have been happening for two decades across two Democratic presidencies. Even more fun, we learned about black sites in Europe and Chicago while Democratic presidents were in power.

I know you really, really want to believe you’re better than they are for pulling the blue lever… but you’re not. You kind of just pretend to be against all the stuff you’ve made excuses for when the blue team does it for the past 40 years.

The only real difference is packaging and presentation.

I do, yes.

The only material difference between the two would be the speeches and packaging. (And the Dems would give us a heaping helping of excuses as to why they can’t do anything they promised.)

For 99% of us, the results would be the same: abject and increasing impoverishment.

American boots on the ground in Gaza and pave it over to put up a luxury beach resort,

Don’t see much difference apart from the jersey being worn by the settlers murderers and raiders, personally. The policy is ultimately the same.

run by a man who would love to wipe non-white ethnicities off the planet and build more towers to his inflated ego where they once lived.

And I’m sure Joe ‘Fund the Police’ Biden and his sidekick Harris are super concerned about non-white ethnicities. His enthusiasm for keeping the WMD’s flowing mid-genocide and mid-famine really sells me on his supposed empathy for them too.

You’re not wrong.

But it’s all we ever get, so some find it satisfying.

Always adorable when Dems lose an election and then pretend to be against the very thing they just spent the last four years supporting enthusiastically even though they had the power to stop it, even amidst the deliberate starvation of children.

It’s basic harm reduction.

Nonsense.

Absolute nonsense, and the Palestinian Americans who voted ‘undetermined’ en masse during the Democratic primaries to send a message to Biden/Harris knew it too. The party made their choice between the people and an unpopular genocide. They chose genocide.

actively help Bibi?

What would you call Genocide Joe keeping the WMD shipments flowing, on time, without end, even during a manufactured famine?

This is one issue where both parties are literally the same.

It absolutely was.

They didn’t send Bill Clinton to give primary speeches wagging his finger at Palestinian Americans for nothing.

Vibe coding, baby.

Legit endangering our brave spacefarers.

No one who would do the right thing is allowed within sniffing distance of the presidency.

The two ruling parties think it’s bad enough that a Democratic Socialist is running the world’s fifth-largest economy in New York, and are no doubt scheming up administrative hurdles to ensure it never happens again once Zohran’s out of power, same as they did after Ross Perot got so close to the presidency in the 90’s.
