If you had bothered to look at the other thread replying to my original comment, you would see that I conceded that caucusing can matter - but in this political moment, non-FPTP voting structures seem to be moving the needle more efficaciously right now.

You're the one talking about moral superiority, not me. I think everyone should make informed decisions with full context. Guess that's incompatible with the real world, lol.

I understand the difference. Context and nuance matter. The amount of marginal agency afforded by party affiliation in CO is very narrow. If we're talking about local elections, most don't rely on partisan selection. If we're not, I'm skeptical about the meaningful difference in candidate selection.

So the applicable space for this seems overstated. I think caucasing can be valuable, but I also think NYC demonstrated the power of alternative vote structures like Ranked Choice.

Yep, I misunderstood. Both can be true. But if this is about local representation (at the non-national level), most of the impactful offices have candidate selection processes that aren't dictated by parties. City council, School board, etc.

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

AI turns substantive relationships into flattened transactions. it replaces faces for masks, substance for simulacra. if you want monuments, but you're too cheap to build anything, you make potemkin villages & cynically challenge people to explain the difference between a home and sheets of plywood.

In short: LLMs are excellent at producing results that never need to be an input into another system, like Photoshop. Allowing them to drive cars will always result in some percentage of unpredictable faults that result in human death. The only question is severity and scale.

The linguistic broadening of "hallucination" to euphemize away any error an LLM makes is indicative of their lack of efficacy. A black box that always produces some percentage of unpredictable errors will always be incompatible with a software ecosystem dependent on composition and transitivity.
