Pretending like our elections are currently normal as usual is absurd, we literally had a coup attempt for the 2020 election.

Yes, the 2024 election has democracy on the ballot and it isn't even a controversial statement to say so.

Recognizing some judges are biased does not equate to "the entire judicial system is rigged"

It's not surprising Trump pushes that rhetoric given how many crimes he has to answer for, cases which are quite legitimate and not just political point scoring.

Everyone has different thresholds I imagine, I got tired of the marvel universe after iron man 2 personally.

It's super fast in comparison to full IDEs and is easier to use than most editors. I switch between vscode and notepad++ depending on what im doing.

I actually do work with AI but whatever, if you have something specific you'd like to argue go for it. Otherwise let's not get into a pissing contest over credentials

Hard disagree, the neural connections in the brain can be modeled with matrix math as well. Sure some people will be uncomfortable with that notion, especially if they believe in spiritual stuff outside physical reality. But if you're the type that thinks consciousness is an emergent phenomenon from our underlying biology then matrix math is a reasonable approach to representing states of our mind and what we call thoughts.

Why not? Same as a person being inspired to reuse certain aspects. Artists reuse other artists work constantly and usually more blatantly than what AI does.

I wouldn't want to copyright every visual pattern conceivable, everything would be a copyright violation of some sort.

Sure feels like it. I've seen countless low effort propaganda posts from Throwaway and their complaints anytime critical thought enters the discussion.

This community doesn't appear abandoned, it just isn't a locked down echo chamber like r/conservative on reddit, the place where users are banned, posts are locked to specific users, and topics which go against the narrative are taboo. That's straight up unhealthy, unproductive, and dangerous. We can do better here.

Full disclosure: I am not a conservative myself but I appreciate an open community which doesn't shut out discussion.

It's reasonable for any country to be "anti-china" when they are being targeted like Taiwan is. China speaks constantly of invasion and frequently violates Taiwans airspace for practice runs of an invasion. Spinning it as Taiwans fault is mindless propaganda

Obviously not everyone has the same situation and some people are more privileged than others. But there is a huge difference between someone who has to work everyday VS someone who doesn't. That doctor has to go to work, same as the programmer, or the manager. They all have unique lifestyles but they are all workers. They are the proletariat

I work in tech, not Google but I am compensated similarly. The reason you are getting my downvotes is because you're missing the point. We worked our asses off to get where we are only to say we're "not struggling" anymore and have early retirement plans in place because we were thoughtful in our career choices and personal budget. That's a lot different from someone who had a retirement plan set from birth or doesn't need to work for a living.

Ultimately as long as tech workers continue to sell their labor then they are working class.

Working at Google is not what it used to be 20 years ago. Not only would an average CEO be better off but there are plenty of other tech companies better to work at as well. Google engineers are salary workers not much different than any other
