Trump Didn’t Know His Daily Schedules Were Public Until His Last Month As POTUS
“Every evening we prepared and released a daily guidance for the following day of the President’s public schedule. Beginning sometime around mid to late December, the President discovered that, for the first time, my understanding, that we released a public schedule of his to the public,” Deere told the committee.
Once Trump learned his schedule was released to the public, he wanted to change the way his staff wrote it, Deere testified.
Gee I wonder why that asshole wanted to change the format?
bit of a george santos rant reiterating some of the nonsense, because I obsess
so whose job / responsibility is it to uncover this? no one’s.
some of it isnt even illegal - i guess past congresses and the founders didnt figure on this.
but some of it might be illegal.
if not responsibility, then whose traditional role was it? well, obviously it was the press.
they seem to have dropped the ball over the last 20? years.
due diligence / oppo research by, in this case, the dems.
i’d say they did it, if not perfectly, then well enough. they got it out.
maybe not effectively. was that due to costs, ‘negligence’, something else who knows?
there is no official vetting or even qualification process to counter this.
it generally waits till after election, unless someone finds out something obvious.
then they have to sue and win and even then it could be too late in the process and ballots cant be changed.
so the system is totally inadequate to weed out deliberate bad actors.
we’ve always known politicans lie. some was accepted and ignored. other kinds not so much.
campaign promises are worthless. everyone knows that.
oppo ads, in black and white, with bad pictures, ominous music, spinning the other guy’s voting record etc - well, those are mostly discounted too.
who is left? the public / the voters.
and they don’t have a mechanism to refer to.
to vet resumes, job history, claims of any kind.
not without doing a lot of work. and having resources. a computer, knowledge, skills, and still, what if mediaite or media matters or whoever didnt pick it up?
a lot of work. and for every race that’s gonna be on your ballot? the biggies, the small ones, the judges, the referenda.
it’s asking a lot for people to just know who’s running, let alone do background checks.
so whose fault is this one? i’d say everyone and no one.
mostly i’d say it’s the Liar Santos.
it’s his fault.
looking back he wasnt particularly good at it, but he stayed one step ahead and beat the election system.
the issue here and now is it was not merely ‘a’ lie. it was pervasive. widespread, egregious, willful, and probably too obvious. an entire history made up from whole cloth.
here’s a question - why didnt goldman sachs, citi or whoever scream from the rafters that he never worked for them as he claimed?
it’s as good a question as all the other above. and it misses the point. its grasping at straws cause now we *know*.
they probably never even heard of him, or the election or cared.
it’s not their job.
and if someone brought it to someone’s attention, do you think they’d have made a public stink? probably not.
no. it wasnt their job to know someone was publicly claiming to have worked for them, AND correct the record to ensure the integrity of an election.
no one ever dared try this till someone did.
now it’s obvious how big the hole in the barn door is.
no one dared trash the presidency till someone did. now that hole is obvious too.
i got no answers.
it was everyone, and no one.
what it wasnt was ‘if only’ the dems… or ‘why didn’t the press’ or ….

So true.
Most people turn out the messages of oppo ads because they are all dishonest or designed to terrify the listener and demonize the opponent. So having an ad identifying all his unsupported claims as lies would do nothing to change the minds of those who are GOP or GOP-leaning or so-called centrists. The listeners would just dismiss the assertions as standard campaign ad rhetoric
And Goldman Sachs isn’t going to waste its time checking out claims of every candidate who asserts that they worked there in some less than prominent position, though it’s possible that if someone made the effort to contact them, they would have checked it out. But few candidates were so brazen to lie on such a large scale.

Not just rich Russians, either.
Another high-ranking Russian officer has died suddenly. As reported by RBC, General Alexei Maslov, the former Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces of the Russian Federation and later RU military representative to NATO, passed away unexpectedly on Christmas day, Sunday, December 25.
The 70-year-old died at Burdenko Main Military Hospital in Moscow. Maslov had worked at the tank manufacturing company, Uralvagonzavod. They are one of the largest main battle tank manufacturers in the world.
…
In a rather coincidental turn of events, Vladimir Putin had been scheduled to visit the city of Nizhny Tagil on December 24, one day before Maslov’s death. This trip was cancelled at the last minute.
…
[Maslov’s] death followed that of Alexander Buzakov, the General Director of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, Admiralty Shipyards. The 67-year-old died ‘suddenly’ on Saturday 24. Among other things, the company produced carriers for ‘Kalibr’ cruise missiles.

Straight out of the pages of the Nazi novel “The Turner Diaries”
Interestingly, I knew a bunch of proto-fascists back in college, mostly because I wanted to know who and what that major threat consisted of.
One of them lent me Turner Diaries. Which I read. Going on 50 years now, the major thing I remember was how badly written and poorly published it was.
And it mostly stole from an 1836 proto-Confederacy book titled “The Partisan Leader” by a whack job named Tucker. That one was so bad I didn’t quite make it through the first 10 pages.

I don’t think it’s a really meaningful question, since he seems to be seriously mentally ill and if he wasn’t enormously rich would be in some sort of involuntary custody by now. But he’ll just keep on keeping on until he commits attempted or Really Done Did It murder, most likely.

Yeah, in the macro he’s a bigot but the micro of his decisions and mindset are clearly the product of mania.
Like, I’ve watched his three awful interviews and his behavior is…clearly not within conventional norms of how you connect ideas together, even within the standards of bigots and conspiracy nuts of the same stripe. The repetition of small details that are significant only to him, the free-association that communicates no central point but seems meaningful, the fixation on specific repeated phrases….he’s not doing clever rhetoric—he’s not faking mania like Alex Jones, or being sly like Richard Spencer. Also, he is quite often literally repeating a script, and has to ask Nick Fuentes to “complete” the anecdote (bigoted, very old-school Nazi talking point) because he’s very enthusiastic in his -isms but someone else has to impose structure on his thoughts….otherwise he just shifts back to a small number of personal grudges he sees as representative of the Great Conspiracy.
If he stays manic, he’s going to keep doing this because he’s pretty certain he’s Jesus.

Nevada Wingnut Militia Grifter Michele Fiore Now A Judge, F*ck It, Why Not (Wonkette, today)
Michele Fiore, the former Nevada state assemblywoman and Las Vegas city councilwoman who despite being a pioneer of the Christmas Gun Greetings genre and an early adopter of full transgender panic never quite became the national GOP star she so clearly wanted to be — at least, not yet — lost another statewide campaign in November, this time for state treasurer. Yr Wonkette would like to apologize for having missed that campaign. It must have been a doozy, what with her colorful history of huge IRS tax liens (her ex-husband’s fault, she said) and her failed home-health business, which had its license revoked after she refused to show state regulators her financial records during an investigation of alleged Medicaid fraud.
Other career highlights include the time she actually did some good for once and talked down some of the last Bundy Militia Loons at the 2016 Oregon wildlife sanctuary standoff. Despite that feather in her cap, she didn’t win the congressional race she was running at the time. That may have something to do with the TV interview where she said it was fine to shoot federal officers, but only if they were doing tyranny to you.

In all seriousness, we’re never going to get to AI sophisticated enough to willfully kill you.
The best we might manage is an algorithm that kills you, trained on standards of lethal force applied by humans.
But what’s far more likely is a future of drones that just make killing seem impersonal but are driven by entirely human agency..
The people with the power to even try and build AI are largely in the business of technological stagnation: they like their monopoly, they like the slow cancellation of the future that makes their market dominance seem inevitable. In other words….they have no incentive to create something genuinely revolutionary, and would much prefer the simulacrum thereof molded around something conventional and controllable.
More than that…why would they ever create a device that could contradict them? To the powerful the appeal of AI isn’t correct answers to complex questions, it’s the bludgeoning power of unassailable authority…just like how they use science, and algorithms, etc.
“The intel was good” and “the algorithm arrived at this result” the magic phrases that describe our doom. Choices that harm us aren’t being made, no, there’s an opaque and occult process by which machines and experts determined that no other option was available.

Train a neural net on human giving out loans and the algorithm “learns” to discriminate against black people. It has no discernment of what is true or moral, it just replicates the pattern present in the data. This is a thing that already happens with algorithms: they’re just a highly complicated spreadsheet of correlated features.
Train an algorithm to administer lethal force and your training material is…what exactly? How cops and militaries kill? The most likely training material for an autonomous drone would be existing drone missions…and those use an entirely flawed (and cynical) means of determining threat and thus routinely kill noncombatants.
Did you know FSD cars can’t detect a stop sign as a stop sign if it has too much birdshit on it? Now imagine that kind of discernment problem but with insurgency or domestic unrest.

Okay, think of it in these terms: if you trained an algorithm to cook, it would “create” a recipe by scanning hundreds of versions of the same recipe from available media, determine what were the most common ingredients and techniques, and create something that hits the most essential features.
This would superificially create a recipe that a person would also write—particularly if you own several cookbooks with different versions of the same recipe and try to find a compromise—but it has not arrived at it’s decisions through any percepts. It does not care if the recipe is good, or to the taste of any individual, only that the recipe has the most features of the likely features, where those likely features were identified and tagged by data entry people.
The algorithm therefore cannot adjust to personal taste, or whismically decide to innovate on the basis of a perceived similarity of one recipe to a wholly different recipe.
If you go read ChatGPT text…it’s fluent but uncanny precisely because the machine has no intent—to tell the truth, to be accurate, to be creative—only a calculation of what is a likely arrangement of words (on the basis of billions of sentences). Most ChatGPT materials reads like college level writing because college students are also composing algorithmically—working from assigned reading to find the correct expressions without full understanding.

It does not care if the recipe is good, or to the taste of any individual, only that the recipe has the most features of the likely features, where those likely features were identified and tagged by data entry people.
The algorithm therefore cannot adjust to personal taste, or whismically decide to innovate on the basis of a perceived similarity of one recipe to a wholly different recipe.
If you go read ChatGPT text…it’s fluent but uncanny precisely because the machine has no intent—to tell the truth, to be accurate, to be creative—only a calculation of what is a likely arrangement of words (on the basis of billions of sentences). Most ChatGPT materials reads like college level writing because college students are also composing algorithmically—working from assigned reading to find the correct expressions without full understanding.

re: #214 Crush White Nationalism

We can’t give a machine consciousness because we don’t understand our own consciousness, and the governing paradigm of our consicousness…which is still effectively Cartesian in it’s emphasis of “reason” and self-observant mind…is demonstrably flawed: we are deeply irrational and quite often cannot perceive the process of our cognition on any given subject.
Consciousness is elusive and intertwined with things that aren’t programmable in any mode I know of. Our sensorium is limited and flawed and it is precisely the slipperiness of meaning we attribute to percepts that lets us be semantic beings: a stop sign remains a stop sign even if it’s bent, or shot up, or covered in bird shit, because we can make the imaginative leap that a thing’s thing-ness is not rigid…and we don’t need to sees thousands of examples and be told what those examples mean to do so. . Our interpretation of percepts incorporates both genetic instincts and learned meaning communicated through culture and personal heuristics: not only is every brain a bespoke rig, but over time every brain changes in way that aren’t efficient.
The current brute force method of training algorithms with enormous piles of data isn’t going to get us there. To get Chat GPT to sounds like a somewhat skilled undergraduate took almost all the sentences ever written in English as training material. All “AI” progress in the past two decades has just been pouring more data into the same neural nets…what happens when there’s not another exponential level of data to shovel in for marginal gains.

Cassidy Hutchinson says Mark Meadows burned official papers in his office (The Independent)
Mark Meadows burned documents about a dozen times between December 2020 and mid January 2021
Cassidy Hutchinson, the former aide to Mark Meadows, has revealed in her testimony to the Jan 6 House committee how the ex-chief of staff routinely burned documents in his office.
A fresh batch of transcripts released by the committee investigating the Capitol riots on Tuesday revealed Ms Hutchinson’s testimony from May in which she had told the committee that she saw Mr Meadows burn documents in his office fireplace around a dozen times - about once or twice a week - between December 2020 and mid January 2021.
She said that the general administration staff were asked to light the fireplace in the morning and additional logs were kept next to it and in his closet.
“So throughout the day, he would put more logs on the fireplace to keep it burning throughout the day. And I recall roughly a dozen times where he would take the - I don’t know the formal name for what it’s called that covers the fireplace - but take that off and then throw a few more pieces of paper in with it when he put more logs on the fireplace,” she said.

Personally, I think consciousness is elusive because it’s an ongoing process rather than a state. We think how we do precisely because the states are changing so often, because there is continuous change. Neuron potentiation points to this, as does the pruning of NT receptors.
That’s why you can’t just turn a brain back on and get meaningful data: we are the cascade down the axon and the leap of neurotransmitters across the synapse, and when the motion stops there’s just no more “you.”

On his Truth Social website, Trump posted a link to an editorial from MAGA publication American Greatness in which author Dan Gelernter compared Trump to the late President Teddy Roosevelt, whose unsuccessful third-party bid in 1912 handed the White House to Democrat Woodrow Wilson.Gelernter concedes that Trump running as a third-party candidate in 2024 would likely also hand Democrats the White House, but he suggests it would be worth it to teach the Republican Party a lesson about defying its base.

As the Alabama Supreme Court considers hearing arguments on whether the transfer of a judgeship earlier this year from a large, majority-Black county to a smaller, less diverse one violates the state’s constitution, prominent members of the Magic City Bar Association are raising questions about the reallocation of the circuit court seat.At issue is the vote by a commission created by Alabama’s Republican-dominated Legislature to permanently relocate the seat from Jefferson County, the most populous and diverse in the state, to majority-white Madison County. The vote, divided along racial lines, effectively dissolved the seat that Tiara Hudson, a veteran public defender, had been nominated to fill after a decisive win in a primary election.

re: #244 Belafon
The question is just how much of that is actually needed to give intelligence? ML algorithms can do things that we used to consider quite complex 20 years ago, in some cases better than humans.
Consciousness isn’t just intelllgence, and “intellgence” isn’t just clearly-defined task performance. It’s volition and affect and murky nonrational heuristics applied in the breach.
We’ve got great algorithms because there’s now so much free data that you can train a complicated algorithm…if you have thousands of data entry people doing the grind working of labeling everything, which is how most of these new toys came into being, with data sweatshops in Bangalore grinding out the spreadsheet.
Purely me talking, but part of what makes algorithms….not intelligent…is that they can’t form new connections, only confirm within their data set that a connection already exists.
Whether or not it’s efficient, people think in very unusual analogical ways, drawing inferences from incredibly vague sense of applicability and also being comfortable with ambiguous/shifting meaning. For most tasks, simply going through a checklist is sufficient for that task to be done well, but what people going at things they do is quite often the extra steps they take that are beyond convention.
Consider, for example, art algorithms. They can only mimic as many styles as they do because they’ve been fed literally billions of art samples, and somebody has gone through and demarcated features, labeled them, and given them correlated weights such that the algorithm can churn out a “Mondrian” by “knowing” that Mondrian generally has about twenty common features
But…
…imagine if the same AI had been trained on all available material in, say 1780 Paris: that art AI would not be able to develop impressionism, or expressionism, or abstraction, because it would only contain “rules” to differentiate the classical from the medieval from the renaissance.

Tweetdeck is the last holdout, I bet. I mean, *it still works* pretty good. And no ads. Very surprised Elmo hasn’t shut it down. Does he even know about it?
We are in a newly built coliseum. It is wide enough to hold millions. Comfortably seated among us is a lynch mob jeering at the people in shackles being exhibited at the centre of the arena. These are the colonised brought out to be trashed.It is the final show. Two demagogues are jousting for power. Each is attempting to prove to all of America’s New Nuremberg now standing atop their seats, cheering (if not outright straight-arm saluting), that it is he, not his opponent, that should be awarded the racists’ vote.
On one side is a governor. He promises a refined, Ivy League-educated, more methodical racism. A new and improved version. One less vulnerable to outbursts and legal challenges but still with enough markers of klan country - a “monkey” here, a “woke ideology” there - to be admired by the “silent majority”.
He raises his lance, offering the crowd his exhibition. A spectacle of Black seniors being manhandled by police officers and arrested for allegedly voting as felons. The point here isn’t to prosecute but simply to march out to the middle of the arena confused and worried Black people. To offer their heartbreak as red meat to the hungry mob.
Other, smaller, politicians follow suit. They ban classic works of African-American literature. They expunge anti-racist ideas from the schools. They call up armed citizen poll watchers to return Black voters as near as they can to a moment in history when the White League and ex-Confederate white soldiers placed pistols at Black voters’ temples to “ensure electoral integrity”.
Then, from one end of the coliseum to the other this governor sends brown and Black survivors of odysseys through jungles and deserts, fleeing the roving warlord of American imperialism, to “Democrat cities”. He orders them to be dumped in front of liberal politicians’ houses as if to say - but also plausibly deny saying - “you deal with this trash”.
