It's turtles all the way down!

@AskTheDevil
It's about intent.
If the person is not capable of sober intent, they cannot be judged.

On balance, is the human species Good or Bad?

Look into the MAGA trend for #bigmike
Super-racist, but part of their strategy to disable Michelle Obama's political objectives - if there are any.

@Maude
One requires action, and thus explicit intent.
The other is no action.

Courage is judged by action that can be identified.

If he drops out (with a plan) and loses, it demonstrates his personal courage.

If he stays in and loses he will go down in history as too egotistical to see the right path.

The difference in 2024: Trump.

The enemy is the focus.
I suspect nobody wants to be the one that is to blame for Trump winning because they caused chaos.

@Maude
And that would be part of the strategy: Keeping the potential competition inline because they need to minimize the chaos at the convention.

Hard. Very hard.

And, pre-determined. Which implies secrecy. From ambitious politicians. Closing in on impossible, but not impossible.

Biden would release his delegates at the convention and endorse Kamala.

Buy stock in popcorn manufacturers......

Same.
American, but studied in Europe where my Danish "parents" made fun of my switching my fork back and forth. Made sense to keep it in my left hand when cutting.

@Maude
Whoah! Did I say it would be EASY? 😂

That's where the strategic thinking comes in. Hard. Very hard.

And it would have had to be happening over the past week for it to be ready. Probably done by a McKinsey or some consulting firm just so they can keep it secret. Then vetted by the campaign staff - which would remain the same.

I've written a few essays starting with just bullet points. Use indents to group the ideas. That's the original work. Then the LLM delivers the first draft of the prose. It often inserts new ideas - some good, others off-track.

Edit, edit, edit.

Run it through an AI-checker to see how others will review it.

Edit more.

Final product.

I've been using Github Copilot. Is Genie better?

@process

Thanks! I'll look into that. I'm getting tired of the LLM's web ui.

@process
Interesting.
I've spent 3 weeks in design-mode for my front end. Wireframes and process flows.
I'm really wary about how to approach AI to do the code.
Can you point me to any best-practice workflows? I feel I'm about to re-invent one.

@feloneouscat
It can still be used to build the abstract concepts that you interpret. I use it for first-drafts, too.
I can synthesize a ton of content quickly, then move forward. I did a day's worth of analysis in 30 seconds last week.

Is anyone else experiencing a completely different work-day because of AI?

I'm on an AI 80% of my day.
Long days, too.

My progress is stunning to me.

Actual work, too. Analysis, synthesis, code, results. No funny stuff, either.

Anyone?

@Maude
Everyone at my watch party did.

@Maude
Unless Biden resigns, thereby placing Harris in the incumbent role. The ticket simply shifts to her and her "exciting, charismatic VP" (tbd).
The DCCC is behind the strategy and squishes any competition ferociously.

Of course, all of this requires careful strategic planning, coordination and the compliance of politicians. I'd find that more amazing than Biden resigning.

This is a prime example of Machiavellian strategy:
Modi hugging Putin

Morality be damned.
Primal habits are hard to kill.
