It is a combination of things, voter suppression being one of them and a common tie breaker in battleground states.

When there is a shift, voter suppression is a common denominator on flipping close states. I’m just talking about one part of the overall issue, not saying it is the entire issue.

Felons who are denied the right to vote, and felons who are only felons because they were bullied into false guilty pleas. People whose lives have been impacted by the violent and bipartisan supported war on drugs, including family members who have been killed by ridiculously violent police actions. When things are bad enough for someone, the lesser of two evils is still evil enough that there is no incentive to participate.

I’m not talking about the majority of the people who didn’t vote. There are a lot of apathetic and willfully ignorant non-voters we can blame. We can also blame those that chose not to vote on a single issue when Trump was the obviously worse outcome for that single issue.

Ultimately the people that are the most to blame are the people who voted for Republicans.

So you don’t accept that voter suppression is an overall issue in other states because California is expanding voter access?

ok

“You must choose between being stabbing and shooting, otherwise we will blame you when the general populace that has been stabbing you your whole life votes in favor of shooting.”

Sorry, I just can’t blame people whose lives are destroyed by the system when they choose not to participate in the system. Choosing the lesser evil is fine for those of us where the lesser one isn’t imprisoning family members through forced confessions or shooting relatives in no knock raids. Both available parties regularly campaign with being tough on crime and both follow through.

Nope, I refuse to blame those people for Trump winning when the alternate choice for them was more of the same.

Middle class whites? Yeah, fuck them if they don’t vote

Experts are working from their perspective, which involves being employed to know the details of how the AI works and the potential benefits. They are invested in it being successful as well, since they spent the time gaining that expertise. I would guess a number of them work in fields that are not easily visible to the public, and use AI systems in ways the public never will because they are focused on things like pattern recognition on virii or idendifying locations to excavate for archeology that always end with a human verifying the results. They use AI as a tool and see the indirect benefits.

The general public’s experience is being told AI is a magic box that will be smarter than the average person, has made some flashy images and sounds more like a person than previous automated voice things. They see it spit out a bunch of incorrect or incoherent answers, because they are using it the way it was promoted, as actually intelligent. They also see this unreliable tech being jammed into things that worked previously, and the negative outcome of the hype not meeting the promises. They reject it because how it is being pushed onto the public is not meeting their expectations based on advertising.

That is before the public is being told that AI will drive people out of their jobs, which is doubly insulting when it does a shitty job of replacing people. It is a tool, not a replacement.

You are literally blaming the victims when you say they share responsibility.

things were way too close to claim that that made all the difference.

Votes being close is why voter suppression and not voting for Harris because she wasn’t good enough to use as a vote against Trump had such a big impact.

But in any democracy there will be a significant portion of voters who either aren’t engaged or are unwilling to stand with the available options. You can blame them, but you should really be blaming the Trump voters.

Voter suppresssion was a significant tie breaker. Also keep in mind that a lot of people get shafted by both parties and have given up.

I don’t blame them.

Nope, it will just be ‘thing that beeps’ to justify whatever they were planning on doing to immigrants anyway, like police dogs.

Hey look, a real world example of gaslighting.

Paths tend to branch out into dead ends when going in one direction, which would feel more like doubling back when coming from the other direction.

It does depend on the size and overall layout of the maze though.

That’s because the design tends to split into choices when going in one direction, but less so the other direction.

Kind of like how it is essier to make the way from a leaf to the trunk of a tree than to start at a trunk and reach a specific leaf.

Hell, some of them didn’t even have one path!

You have to add your own supply of semen.

I thought they were referring to the restaurant branded food you can buy from the supermarket snd make at home. Like these two chain restaurant items that I have purchased and consumed.

There are some frozen ones too, but don’t remember which ones.

Oooohhhhh, that makes sense.

informed dedication opinions.

Hmmmmm

If you sailed by riding the figurehead, sure.

We shouldn’t be satisfied until high level execs and Musk, all of whom profit from Tesla’s sales, are jailed for fraud related to the scam sales in Canada.

Ewww, no. The programmer should have run their unit tests, maybe even told you about them. You should be testing for edge cases not covered by the unit tests at a minimum and replicating the unit tests if they don’t appear to be very thorough.
