IIRC convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde was competing at the olympics, and took an attitude of "I've served my time", not showing much remorse. As in he felt as though it was unfair to talk about his crimes - specifically, that of raping a child - because he had spent a few months in jail and now he was an amazing athlete.
You may not have noticed but the entire world has lurched to the right. You can't win an election by wooing voters on the left, you'll just lose votes on the right.
The American left will just stay home and pay on reddit about how the dems are secretly right wing capitalists anyway.
Oh man. Thais and Khmers have been killing each other since the dawn of time. Only an idiot would think this deal is any more meaningful than the last dozen. They probably only kicked off this time because they realised they could get a few free helicopters out of Trump.
But the Epstein Ballroom is gonna be pretty great though? Also Trump is going to pay himself $230m so that's good. ... and lets not forget all the poors who are being punished.
You're right, but I think this falls into the "don't obey in advance" rule of resistance to autocracy.
I've long since lost the will to support this type of action, like yourself I suppose. Everything is fucked all the way down. You can't not-lose in a corrupt court system.
However, I think it's important that every authoritarian action is challenged, because if you don't challenge then you really are kind of obeying in advance.
The difficulty may be finding a model which is hosted by an inference provider. Most of the models available on huggingface are just the binary model which you can download and run locally. The popular ones are hosted by inference providers so you can just point a query at their API and get a response.
As an aside, it's possible or likely that you know more about how Gen AI works than I do, but I think this type of "probability table for the next token" is from the earlier generations. Or, this type of probability inference might be a foundational concept, but there's a lot more sophistication layered on top now. I genuinely don't know. I'm super interested in these technologies but there's a lot to learn.
We pretty much are "completely owned" by corporations, but you could argue about the extent.
For example, I think we're closer to Europe's stance on big tech than we are to the USA's.
A captured state refers to governments that are dependent on specific industries, and all governments are to some extent.
Gambling companies would provide a lot of tax revenue. They also contribute a lot of sponsorship / advertising revenue for sporting events. There's also many millions of voters who enjoy gambling just how it is.
In summary, its not only industry lobbyists, gambling is a deeply entrenched industry.
