None of this makes sense anymore. How could people possibly be shocked this time? It happened before under less favorable circumstances.

He probably didn't. He was polling very well. Very well. Better than his last two elections for a long time. People pretended he couldn't win and I admittedly didn't think they'd do that since that's exactly what happened in 2016.

Simply assuming the election was stolen will be a mistake because that mindset will help Republicans win their next election. The voters wanted an irreparably changed supreme court and Trump functionally immune from prosecution and that's what the voters got.

You're right, but I think it was a combo.

October 7th spilled a bunch of gasoline on the ground. (Almost immediately after that day his polling trailed Trump's.)

His debate performance dropped a lit cigarette.

In my opinion, you really needed both of those things for him to drop out. A physically struggling Biden that's polling at 60% would've stayed in the race. A Biden with an excellent debate performance that was polling at 45% would've stayed in the race.

EDIT: typo

People keep saying this but they haven't finished counting the votes. In California alone only 55% of votes were counted and he had 4,000,000+ votes there. The remaining votes could easily put him past his 2020 total.

They're not done counting. There's a decent chance he has more votes this time.

According to Forbes, Musk is currently #1 and Arnault is #4.

I rewatched it when Disney+ rolled out. The first few episodes definitely hold up. Something like the first 4 or so episodes were all part of one really solid story arc. I think I stopped watching somewhere after season 1 though.

This doesn't make sense. How could the "Abandon Harris" movement start late last year when Harris wasn't even the candidate?

Watch her other interviews. She's always nervous and fidgety. She claims she gets uncomfortable doing those staged interviews for press circuits.

I know it's not the point, but it's weird to call things "9/11 scale attacks" when you consider how many buildings were leveled in Gaza.

Your analogy requires a powerful faction of people in Poland directly shooting rockets at Russian-occupied Ukraine. Still a significant event, but this descent continually shows the problem with analogies.

They are programmatically token predictors. It will never be "closer" to intelligence for that very reason. The broader question should be, "can a token predictor simulate intelligence?"
