Reminder that Kalshi has Donald Trump Jr. as a strategic advisor.

i wonder if he's actually got insider info. it wouldn't surprise me if he's really only there because he's got good insight, but if he has direct info about what his dad and uncle Vance are gonna be doing then that's kind of interesting, and indicates kalshi might be a source to continue paying closer attention to... thanks for the heads up, breadbassket.

honestly? that's way higher than i'd have expected.

it feels like something out of shadowrun or cyberpunk 2020 that two of the most unbiased news aggregators are just betting sites.

Betting sites are better polls because the people have less (less) incentive to lie, and the people running them have less incentive to manipulate them.

My favorite part of 2024 was the smug Kamalafags trolling Polymarket with "lol these are betting odds not REAL polls, chuds!" just to be crying and screaming the next day trying to get their money back.

One last thought on this...language isn't the foundation of intelligence any more than math is. It's as much a mistake to believe consciousness will emerge out of scaling up language processing as it is to believe it will emerge out of supercomputers solving differential equations at exascale.

As an analogy, it's like watching an Olympic awards ceremony and thinking you can become a champion sprinter by recreating a facsimile of the ceremony and awarding yourself a gold medal. No matter how much you spend on replicating the arena, the podium, the crowds, even the TV ads, you still have less in common with Usain Bolt than a mid-tier high school track athlete does. You have never trained for or competed in a 110m race, and the mediocre high schooler who has never placed above second has. Training and competing are the foundation of winning, not the medal and the podium.

(Although the mods might feel Im derailing the thread...who fucking cares its the US Politics thread. Its nothing but retarded nigger faggots with Trump Derangement / Enslavement Syndrome)

Mathematics is actually a much more viable option to explore for true intelligence then language is because it can form a logic system. Mathematics is literally used to explain the universe at levels we can't understand (quantum physics) from our perspective. At its core the universe can probably broken down to a system that runs on a mathematical logic system.

Sam Altman actually said that he doesn't believe that refining code or making advancements in how AI is programmed will make general artificial intelligence. Instead he thinks the answer is just keep shoving more data into it. I'm sure he actually believes importing infinity Indians will solve the problem.

If Terry Davis was still alive and wasn't plagued by Schizophrenia he probably would have invented AGI in like 2010. I hope when this AI financial collapse happens it won't just get shoved in the back of peoples minds but instead inspires a bunch of Luigi clones who decide to get their payback on these faggot tech bros. I'm pretty sure that is a grave all sides of the political spectrum will be willing to dance on VS someone like Charlie Kirk.

Well, it's not like Trump himself has any problem with gambling, or at least being in on the house side of it. One good thing about this term is it really feels like he's listening more to his kids and Barron on a lot of things.

to think that if the anti-fraud efforts hadn't been enough this guy would be our VP and would open the doors even more for widespread fraud.

sym, you know the truth. the idea of arresting anyone for treason is long gone. republicans won't do it because they're afraid of it being done to them. democrats won't do it because they KNOW if they pull the trigger first that machine gun is gonna rattle around the entire room before its mag is empty.

Honestly there's going to be so many arrested that it literally becomes a political issue. If they press charges against 50% of Democrats the media would get the people whipped up into a frenzy and embolden them for the next election. You literally need to prioritise who to arrest and when.

Yep. I knew arresting Trump was just going to make him stronger. That, and surviving getting shot did as much to help him win as the dems running the worst losers in history. Walz is easy pickings though and really needs to get slapped down hard. Omar needs to be removed from congress too and that shouldn't be too hard.

Newsom deserves it too for corruption but that could backfire and help him in the end. I still don't think Newsom has any realistic chance at all though, the dude was awful in his debate against DeSantis even. He can only perform well in the bluest of blue states with the lowest general IQs.

The answer is always no. The only thing those two give a shit about is eviscerating our freedoms.
During a hearing on Tuesday, Graham asked FBI Director Kash Patel if he supports sunsetting Section 230 to increase the liability for companies whose platforms are used to disseminate content related to the sexual exploitation of children.
"I'm all in, I have been all in, and I'm happy to work with Congress to do so," Patel said.

Wrong. They will fucking kill us all when they inevitably take back the White House and they will get away with it.
