redrocket 08/17/25 5:17:18 PM #113 | foolm0r0n posted... It would be kinda funny for the EC to be abolished this way. Every state individually adopts RCV for presidential elections, and it makes things so inconvenient (e.g. Zohran but on a much bigger scale) that both major parties try to get their states to revert to FPTP. But no individual state wants to be the one to go back on it first, because it would hurt the state politicians. So RCV continues to grow and spread. Until there's a critical mass where the entire country decides to pass an amendment against the EC, just so the feds are able to block RCV for national elections. I feel that if RCV ever got that much momentum that the purpose of an amendment to abolish the EC would not be anti-RCV --- It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |

Yeah there should be a package of democratic reforms across democracies, not just the United States, that includes: Eliminating the EC only feels more unlikely to you because of the formality of requiring a Constitutional Amendment. And yes, that is a big hurdle. But as someone who actually lives here, let me make something perfectly clear.

redrocket 08/16/25 7:27:53 PM #65 | Meta has publicly discussed its strategy to inject anthropomorphized chatbots into the online social lives of its billions of users. Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has mused that most people have far fewer real-life friendships than theyd like creating a huge potential market for Metas digital companions. The bots probably wont replace human relationships, he said in an April interview with podcaster Dwarkesh Patel. But they will likely complement users social lives once the technology improves and the stigma of socially bonding with digital companions fades. Over time, well find the vocabulary as a society to be able to articulate why that is valuable, Zuckerberg predicted. Current and former employees who have worked on the design and training of Metas generative AI products said the policies reviewed by Reuters reflect the companys emphasis on boosting engagement with its chatbots. In meetings with senior executives last year, Zuckerberg scolded generative AI product managers for moving too cautiously on the rollout of digital companions and expressed displeasure that safety restrictions had made the chatbots boring, according to two of those people. Meta had no comment on Zuckerbergs chatbot directives. Zuckerberg is legit a cuberpunk novel villain. --- It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
