  • You’re screaming into the echo chamber, mate. Unless you’re so rabidly anti-AI you believe and spread one of a few comforting, imaginary narratives, you’ll be dog piled.

    I’m staunchly critical of AI, but won’t pretend that it only consists of generative AI, that it still operates as poorly as it did years ago, nor that a disturbing percentage of the population either doesn’t care about or actually supports that shit, so I get my share of insults. Being pro-AI won’t get you much civility so set your expectations low. Unless you’re trolling. Then you’ve nailed it.


















  • Let me show you an example. Let’s use easy ratios for easy numbers, so let’s say people vote Democrat to Republican 3:2.

    If you have 100 people vote, you’ll end up with 60 democratic votes, 40 Republican.

    If you have 200 people vote, you’ll have 120 Democrat votes, 80 Republican.

    Increasing the number of total voters in this scenario will never change the outcome. 400 people? 240 to 160.

    The only way getting more votes by mail will help Democrats win an election is if the ratio of Democrat to Republican voters is higher in mail-in voters compared to other population groups.

    Or are you suggesting Democrats are less reliable voters, so getting them to vote increases the relative percentage of Democrat voters?
