Getting votes and getting power are not the same thing. There is no path to president for any party outside of rebpublican or democrats. The electoral college of the states stops any 3rd party from holding any power at a federal level. The last time there was even a chance was the bull moose party and even Teddy at the hight of his popularity could not overcome the two party system back then, and they have since tightened the system down.

Way worse, they are limited to two parties with the electoral collage system. Not just effectively but in law and policy.

Its not a functioning democracy.

My guess is the 3rd one, or maybe 4th or 5th… Oh yeah…

HA! What a load of shit that all was.

Now it is just some weird brand of freedom^tm mixed with warm ideas of misplaced superiority.

The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, and treason.

I think the end of the states is more likely and easier at this point. That broken ass system is just embedded too deep.

And the .com bubble the hosing crisis, the banking collapse etc. etc. It all seems like the same scam being redone over and over. Never the same but always alike. And now it seems crime is legal (if you have the capital backing).

I really hope at some point in my life the fuck ups have some lasting consequences.

The scheme requires an every increasing amount of new “investment” or the whole thing collapses. Is it more then a ponzi scheme? Sure, most normal schemes can’t do what these companies can do but at the end of the day the scheme is still very much a ponzi structure.

These (non hardware) companies are not relying on fake revenue, they all post massive losses in AI on the regular and yet like some sort of massive lost cost fallacy the markets still keep investing. Maybe next quarter (insert AI) will start making money, but more likely it will all pop before. And the hardware companies making money hand over fist? They are getting bodied on the market (see the South Korean situation).

None of this is even unexpected or seen as odd anymore, the financial systems, markets, private equity and most funds seem to just treat the situation as normal. I have seen nothing but once in a lifetime financial fuckups every few years since I was in high school, and almost every one is in the end is just some ponzi style scheme that was always doomed to collapse.

I think they will ask you if it was damaged…

Why is it that almost all big financial situations in my lifetime are Ponzi schemes?

“Evil Light” I think.

The captain is not the rich guy here. These super yachts tend to get captains near the end of their career who know the deal. They get nice paychecks to do shit like this and then take the fall if needed, that is the loophole.

Not just a sense, a very real ability. This might mean they can’t captain a ship anymore, but unlikely to see any real punishment.

And this is the flaw, they pay them a lot to take the fall as part of the job. Plenty will do so with a smile on their faces and international law and decency suffers.

That is why you have a captain to toss under the bus when rich enough.

All of that is just not true, literally all of that huge wall of text. From the odd takes on somehow saying there is and is not examples of LLMs used in call centers that are complete shit (my example would be just to point to any AI agent call I have had to do in the last year) to the clear non understanding of how the speed of diction could be an issue shows that the wall of text you put up has zero substance. Almost as if wrote by chat GPT or the likes. The same issues in a call center for hotdog packaging and 911 will exist and saying “smart people” will handle one better then the other is one of if not the stupidest things I have seen in print.

Your odd hubris is why the world is going to shit. You are the direct reason why we live in interesting times.

Ha, who thinks the us gets to have allies anymore? Best they can do is temporary business partner, and then maybe future “nasty” people.

As someone who worked in the industry, your trust is wildly misplaced. I guarantee someone has already said internally this will not work and was shushed by a sales manager.

And as far as “I am sure they tested accents” goes? HA they likely noted it was a mess and moved on. You think the goal is a functioning system, but it is not it is just to make the sale.

You talk as if they don’t already have customer facing implementations in effect, and that those all suck and don’t work worth shit. You also seem to think the “engineers” involved are custom doing anything and not just some sales person slapping a half baked product on every problem. When you get paid per deployed program, everything looks like a problem to solve with said program.

This is an issue of not having enough 911 dispatchers, due to the unwillingness to pay for them. The idea of putting in a chatbot, that can not even speed up diction let alone have any empathy is just wildly inappropriate in this situation. The fact is that these LLMs will (like in current deployments) most of the time have to pass the call to a person, drastically increasing time on the phone before action is taken. This is already seen in almost all LLM supported call centers, but a 911 dispatch is not a telecom company and more time on the phone is more death, injury and suffering.

Or just as likely never dispatches in the case of a real emergency. I have a hard time thinking of what could go right.

Not sure taking the day off work factors into that. But I meant more using all your other days off and having to call in abused.
